Energy demand

Primary energy demand

We must reduce energy demand.

Energy demand by sector (petajoules)

Final energy consumption by end use (petajoules)

Energy Demand, Lifestyle Changes and Technology Development (1995)

In fact, demand for clean energy was exploding worldwide.

The growing demand for energy will require massive investment.

The energy system in Portugal has undergone major restructuring to meet increasing energy demand and increased dynamics in EU energy markets.

Primary energy demand by fuel type, as well as electricity (petajoules)

Firms in advanced economies are now cutting jobs, owing to inadequate final demand, which has led to excess capacity, and to uncertainty about future demand. But cutting jobs weakens final demand further, because it reduces labor income and increases inequality.

Governments must stimulate demand for more efficient and cleaner technologies, including technologies that tap renewable sources of energy, improve energy efficiency on the supply and demand sides and make cleaner use of fossil fuels.

Urban transport policies focus on demand reduction, prioritizing public transport and reducing energy consumption.

Former policy objectives such as energy security and energy supply diversification are giving way to EU wide energy supply and demand forces and becoming less dependent on strictly national circumstances.

During heavy training, the runner needs enough nutrition to meet the body's demand for energy.

Primary energy demand is expected to increase significantly in the electricity generation and transport sectors.

With each doubling, demand for energy and resources will exceed all the previous doublings combined.

Most of the projects described are energy related, and include projects that install new renewable energy capacity, switch from high carbon to low carbon fuels, and promote energy efficiency improvements in both energy supply and demand.

Moreover, production may occur in response to actual demand, not anticipated or forecast demand. In some sense, this represents the ultimate compression of supply chains, as firms produce to final demand with minimal delay.

The ever increasing global demand for energy and industrial goods and services represents a daunting challenge.

It is projected that world energy demand will continue to grow rapidly in the coming decades.

Additional reductions in energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions can be obtained with more ambitious policies.

We believe that nuclear energy, when produced in accordance with safety and environmental procedures, can be a useful way of meeting the increasing energy demand worldwide.

This has been evidenced by the increasing trade of energy crossing borders before reaching final consumers.

The sectors covered are energy (supply and demand), agriculture, land use change and forestry, and waste management.

For the energy sector, the common variables used to develop scenarios were population growth, demand, and GDP.

As a result, Europe will remain a net energy importer. And, given rising global demand for oil, particularly in developing countries, energy import prices will remain high.

The Government of Pakistan has launched a 25 year energy security plan to respond to that high growth rate and to meet the rising demand for energy.

Energy systems that can be adjusted relatively easily to changing market conditions might be the most cost effective approach to meeting energy demand in the present situation.

Worldwide energy demand has increased by more than 50 since 1980, and is expected to grow annually by 1.6 between now and 2030. More than 70 of this new demand will come from developing countries, with fossil fuels projected to account for about 80 of total energy demand by the end of this period.

Success will be measured by the actual implementation of piloted technical solutions and demand for energy conservation services.

Experts foresee a slight decrease in the annual growth rate of energy demand and declining energy intensity, but economic and population growth combined with increased urbanization will result in an estimated growth in demand of around 1.7 per cent each year for the next 25 years, unless major breakthroughs in energy efficiency measures are achieved.

Nuclear energy is projected to decrease its relative share because the planned expansion of nuclear power in some countries will not match the overall increase in global energy demand.

Projections of end use energy demand by sector, apart from transport, build on the quot Energy Strategy and Policy for the Slovak Republic up to the year 2005 quot .

The interesting finding in the alternative policy scenario is that, with almost the same total investment, it is possible to reduce global energy demand by 10 per cent and anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions by 16 per cent by 2030, mainly by shifting investments from energy production to energy efficiency technologies, many of them on the demand side.

Development without access to energy won t happen. This crisis could help formulate a new approach increase access to reliable, affordable and renewable energy services for sustainable development, promote energy efficiency to make sure economic growth does not raise energy demand and environmental degradation, including climate change.

For the energy sector, the common variables used to develop scenarios were population growth, demand, and gross domestic product (GDP).

This, however, remains relatively stronger in developing countries where energy demand for satisfying basic needs and production requirements is rising.

The increases in prosperity and well being that economic growth makes possible stimulate demand for energy services such as lighting, heating and cooling, communications and transport, and therefore for energy itself.

Meeting this demand in a sustainable manner will require drastically increasing the efficiency with which energy is produced, delivered and used.

In rapidly developing nations, demand for energy intense foods, like meat, is growing, increasing the total amount of fossil fuels used.

The emphasis is on enhancing public awareness, improving energy efficiency on the demand side and better management of the transport sector.

Moreover, new dimensions of the problem of energy security have emerged in the last few years. One is the great increase in energy demand from the rapidly growing economies of Asia, particularly China.

Although they are generally in the background of the debate, they in fact have a significant influence on energy and transportation demand.

For example, variations in winter temperatures influence fuel use for heating, and variations in summer temperatures influence energy demand for air conditioning.
