In no small part, the strong and robust energy consumption growth engenders volatile energy prices, especially oil and coal. Rather an unexpected surge in demand for energy has put a strain on energy markets as energy supply is constrained by upstream and transportation infrastructure. Most APEC economies are increasingly concerned with energy security and the development of new and renewable technologies to reduce its dependence on conventional, imported energy. The high cost of these new types of energy is the major stumbling block for their deployment and is still waiting to be resolved. Individual APEC economy energy policy initiatives and notable developments particularly on energy security, upstream and downstream development, transformation and transportation, market reform, efficiency and conservation, alternative energy development, renewable energy deployment, environmental protection, and international/regional cooperation are compiled in this report. We extend our special thanks to the efforts of APEC member economies in improving the accuracy and currency of the information provided. We also would like to acknowledge the expert contributions of the APERC researchers to this report and a special note of gratitude to the guidance and provision of the basic energy statistics of the EGEDA members. We sincerely hope that this report would help deepen the mutual understanding among the member economies on current energy issues in the region.

It is the only continent that is its own country and lies between the Indian and South Pacific Oceans. Its dry flat continent spans approximately 7.6 million square kilometres, mostly plateaus, deserts, and fertile plains and is divided into six states and two territories. Its population of about 19.66 million (in 2002) live mostly in cities or major regional centres in the eastern and southeastern seaboard. Australia is abundant in minerals, fossil fuels and other energy resources. It is famous for its Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef in the world, located along its northeastern coast. For more than two decades, from 1980 to 2002, Australia’s economy grew by an average rate of 3.3 percent per year. In 2002, GDP reached US$497.15 billion from US$ 483.91 billion (1995 US$ at PPP) in 2001, further reducing its unemployment rate to 6 percent from 6.3 percent the previous year. The Australian economy has remained relatively robust despite the global economic slowdown, owing much to the buoyant property market and strong domestic demand. It has steered clear of economic recession, and is expected to continue to outperform most of the developed economies in the coming years. Over 70 percent of Australia’s international trade is with APEC economies and Asia accounts for around 60 percent of Australian trade. Australia is a major exporter of coal, LNG and uranium. The resource sector is the largest exporting sector of the Australian economy and covers over 35 percent of Australia’s export earnings. This has made the Australian economy very sensitive to changes in foreign earnings, arising from fluctuations in international market prices.
