The International Energy Agency has released the latest edition of the World Energy Outlook (WEO) with a focus on China and India. The report concluded that if governments continue with business-as-usual policies (in the WEO Reference Scenario), global energy needs would increase by more than 50% in 2030 than today. And both China and India would account for 45% of that increase. Coal use would grow the fastest due to the demand from the power sectors in China and India. Global carbon dioxide emissions would increase by 57% from 27 Gt in 2005 to 42 Gt in 2030. China is also expected to become the world’s biggest emitter in 2007 and India the third-biggest emitter by around 2015.
