IEA estimates in its World Energy Outlook 2008 indicate that the world energy consumption amounted to 11.4 Gtoe in 2005 and it will grow up of about 30% in 2020, with an average annual rate of 1.8%. The increase in consumption is due predominantly to the electricity sector (50%) and to the transport sector (20%). Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) will cover about 80% of this growth: the dominant primary energy source will be from crude, whose world reserves are concentrated to 75% in a few countries of the Middle East, a region of strong political instability.

Abstract
IEA estimates in its World Energy Outlook 2008 indicate that the world energy consumption amounted to 11.4 Gtoe in 2005 and it will grow up of about 30% in 2020, with an average annual rate of 1.8%. The increase in consumption is due predominantly to the electricity sector (50%) and to the transport sector (20%). Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) will cover about 80% of this growth: the dominant primary energy source will be from crude, whose world reserves are concentrated to 75% in a few countries of the Middle East, a region of strong political instability.File in questo prodotto:
