This report provides an analysis of both the current and forecasted energy supply and demand balances that will accompany ASEAN´s growth in the next two decades, and the various implications that will arise due to the supply-demand shift. Contemporary energy issues, such as renewable energy, nuclear energy and climate change, will be evaluated. Policy recommendations to counter national and regional energy challenges will also be discussed.

Text sample:
Chapter 3: Transport Fuel Utilization in ASEAN:
The transport sectors of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines accounted for 17-35% of total energy consumption in 2009 (Exhibit 12). Transport Consumption is positively correlated to economic growth, and vehicle population for several ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines) combined are expected to grow from 10 million vehicles in 1990, to 79 million in 2030 (Exhibit 13). The projected transport sector consumption of energy of these same countries combined is estimated to rise from 87 Mtoe in 2007 to 176 Mtoe in 2020, and to 299 Mtoe in 2030 (Exhibit 14). Correspondingly, the share of energy due to transport consumption is estimated to rise from 24.6% in 2007 to 29.2% by 2020, and will rise marginally once more to 31% in 2030 (Exhibit 14). In per capita terms, this translates to a surge from 26 vehicles per 1000 persons in 2010, to 127 vehicles per 1000 persons in 2030, a massive 492% increase (Exhibit 15)!
