Case Study

Given Asia's phenomenal growth, its energy and development agenda has become a

matter of global attention. The new energy era requires global action and co-operation to address growing concerns over energy security, climate change and access by the poor to modern energy services. To meet the continued rise in energy consumption in the region, Asia must invest more than $ 6 trillion in new energy infrastructure mostly in the power sector by 2030.

In the absence of new policies by Governments and International financial institutions, the world energy needs will be almost 60% higher in 2030 than they are now, and, with most of this supplied by fossil fuels CO2 emissions will also increase at about the same rate. Business, investors, architects and scientists alone cannot change the way we produce and use energy. These groups can anticipate change; they can facilitate it ; they will profit from it but they cannot drive it. Public policies that create markets, remove barriers, level the playing field, and establish clear objectives and targets for renewable energy and energy efficiency help shape the future. Comment.
