Snapshots

The Asia and Pacific region accounts for almost 40% of global energy demand.
Most economies in the region rely on imports of energy and the biggest energy users have increased
their dependence on imports since 2000.
Energy efficiencygross domestic product (GDP) per unit of energyhas improved in most
economies.
Seven economies subsidize fossil fuels by more than 30% of the fuels supply cost.
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions continued to rise, but most economies eliminated ozone-depleting
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

Key trends
The region accounted for almost 40% of global
energy demand in 2010. This far exceeded the shares
of Europe and North America, which were about
22% each (Figure 6.1). Due to growth in income and
population in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC)

during the last 2 decades, its share of regional energy


use has increased to almost half of the total. In terms
of total demand, the PRC consumes over three times
that of India and almost five times that of Japan.

Figure 6.2 shows the average annual percentage


growth of energy use and production of 29 reporting
economies between 2000 and 2010. The PRC, Kazakhstan,
and Viet Nam recorded high average annual growth in
energy use of about 7%. On the production side, energy
output increased by a rapid 24% annually in Mongolia,
a producer and exporter of coal, and by 13% annually in
Azerbaijan, which produces and exports hydrocarbons.
Most Asian economies require imports to meet energy
demand. Figure 6.3 shows net imports as a percentage
of each economys domestic energy use from 2008 to
2010. Bars to the left are for 11 economies that are
not energy exporters. Two economiesHong Kong,

China and Singaporeimport nearly all their energy


requirements. The four biggest energy usersthe
PRC, India, Japan, and the Republic of Koreaaccount
for almost 80% of total regional energy use and all
four increased their import dependence since 2000
(Table 6.3). In particular, the region is a major importer
of oil and these imports are rising. On current demand
trends, regional oil imports could nearly triple from
11 million barrels a day to more than 30 million barrels a
day by 2035, given that Asia only has an estimated 16%
of the worlds proven conventional gas reserves and 15%
of technically recoverable oil and gas liquids (ADB 2013).
The region is quite vulnerable to interruptions in global
supplies. Dependence on oil imports can be addressed

Energy and Environment

Seven economies in Asia subsidize fossil fuels by more


than 30% of the fuels supply cost. Figure 6.4 shows
the subsidy rates for 17 economies. In Turkmenistan
and Uzbekistan, consumers pay only 40% of the price
prevailing on the international market. Fuel subsidies
have several drawbacks. They encourage consumption
while ignoring the negative externalities to the
environment. By underpricing fossil fuels, subsidies
deter investment and innovation in cleaner energy
sources. Subsidies stimulate fuel imports or reduce
exports, hurting national trade balances, and they drain
government resources that could be used for social and
economic development. Moreover, unless subsidies are
well targeted, they can benefit the relatively rich rather
than the poor.

Energy efficiency has improved in most economies.


Efficiency in energy use is influenced by several factors,
including changes in industrial structure, technology, and
energy mix. Agriculture and services tend to generate
higher GDP per unit of energy than manufacturing.
Figure 6.5 shows the changes in GDP per unit of energy
between 2000 and 2010. Several economies that
recorded the biggest improvements in efficiency had
access to cheap energy as states of the former Soviet
Union, and their more efficient use in recent years can
be partly attributed to increases in energy prices.
Energy efficiency improvements of at least
30% were observed in Cambodia, the PRC, India, the
Philippines, and Sri Lanka. (Gains in the PRC came from
a low base and its energy productivity remains relatively
low.) Table 6.1 shows that in 2010, seven economies
in Asia recorded energy efficiency in 2010 in excess of

the global average of 6.9, measured in GDP per unit


of energy use. They were Bangladesh; Hong Kong,
China; Japan; the Philippines; Singapore; Sri Lanka; and
Taipei,China.
Asias economic development has brought about
rising emissions of GHGs. Figure 6.6 presents per
capita emissions of carbon dioxide plus the carbon
dioxide equivalents of the two other main GHGs
nitrous oxide and methane gasfor 2010. The highest
per capita emitters were Brunei Darussalam, Australia,
and Kazakhstan. Per capita emissions increased in
most of the reporting economies between 2005
and 2010, with Cambodia (77%), the PRC (35%), and
Viet Nam (30%) registering the highest increases. Per
capita GHG emissions fell by 56% in Singapore between
2005 and 2010.
GHG emissions contribute to global climate
change, which is expected to cause rising sea levels
and more severe storms, droughts, heat waves, and
floods. The World Bank has projected that an increase
in global temperatures of 2 degrees C, which it said is
possible within 2030 years, would cause widespread
food shortages that hit the poor the hardest (World
Bank 2013).

While limited progress has so far been made


on reducing GHG emissions, Table 6.6 shows that
most economies in the region have eliminated ozonedepleting CFCs, which were previously used in a range
of products from aerosols to refrigeration.
Half the economies in the region expanded the area
devoted to agriculture between 2000 and 2011.
Changes in dietary preferences and increases in food
prices were among the factors that stimulated the
expansion of land used for crops and pastures as a
percentage of total land area. This trend is most notable
in relatively small economies, but is also observed in
Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand (Table 6.5).

It is expensive to identify and maintain a sample of sites


that accurately measure nationwide water pollution.
Comparability between countries is generally less than
comparable over time for a single country.

Data issues and comparability


Most of the energy data are compiled by the
International Energy Agency using standard procedures
and conversion factors. Statistics of CFC consumption are
collected by the United Nations Industrial Development
Organization as part of the process of monitoring the
2006 Montreal Protocol on limiting CFC emissions. Other
United Nations agencies monitor outputs of GHGs and
other pollutants.
Statistics on water pollution are based on analyses
of water drawn from sites in samples of lakes and rivers.

The Food and Agricultural Organization of the


United Nations monitors land use and forestry data
using country reports and satellite imagery.
