No growth has been as dramatic as the demand surge experienced in Asia, where energy demand has grown by 75 percent. China alone is now the world’s largest energy consumer, the second largest consumer of oil, the world’s largest consumer and producer of coal— accounting for fully half of total global coal consumption, and soon to become the world’s largest oil importer.
