“World marketed energy consumption is projected to increase by 57 percent from 2004 to 2030. Total energy demand in the non-OECD countries increases by 95 percent, compared with an increase of 24 percent in the OECD countries. In the IEO2008 reference casewhich reflects a scenario where current laws and policies remain unchanged throughout the projection periodworld marketed energy consumption is projected to grow by 50 percent over the 2005 to 2030 period. Total world energy use rises from 462 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) in 2005 to 563 quadrillion Btu in 2015 and then to 695 quadrillion Btu in 2030. Global energy demand grows despite the sustained high world oil prices that are projected to persist over the long term.”
