Energy Investment Outlook for the Apec Region ASIA PACIFIC ENERGY RESEARCH CENTRE ENERGY INVESTMENT OUTLOOK FOR THE APEC REGION 2003 Published by Asia Pacific Energy Research Centre Institute of Energy Economics, Japan Inui Bldg.-Kachidoki 16F, 1-13-1 Kachidoki Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-0054 Japan Tel: (813) 5144-8551 Fax: (813) 5144-8555 Email: [email protected] (administration) ã 2003 Asia Pacific Energy Research Centre APEC#203-RE-01.5 ISBN 4-931482-24-4 Printed in Japan PAGE II FOREWORD APEC economies are increasingly concerned about the adequacy and reliability of energy supplies as their needs for energy expands. Timely investment in energy production facilities and transportation infrastructure is essential to ensure that energy remains steadily available to fuel economic growth. Thus, a study of energy investment requirements, the ability of economies to meet these requirements and policies to promote required investment should be of broad interest across the APEC region. This report estimates future investment requirements for each major energy sector and every APEC economy, building upon information developed in the APEC Energy Demand and Supply Outlook 2002. It also assesses the burden of energy investment relative to economic output over time as economies develop. Further, it examines the principal factors affecting the adequacy of energy investment and suggests ways for APEC members to ensure that energy investment requirements continue to be met. This report is published by APERC as an independent study and does not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the APEC Energy Working Group or individual member economies. But we hope that it will serve as a useful basis for discussion and analysis both within and among APEC member economies for the promotion of investment in the energy sector. Masaharu Fujitomi President Asia Pacific Energy Research Centre PAGE III ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Juan Ramón Mota Aguilar and Naok o Doi were the project co-leaders: the former was responsible for estimation of energy investment requirements including modelling, while the latter was responsible for analysis on issues relevant to energy investment including historical trends and financing. Yonghun Jung provided overall guidance and valuable insights on the study directions. Jeffrey Skeer greatly contributed to writing of the draft report. We would like to thank all of those who contributed to this study, which could not have been successfully completed without the hard work and inspiration of many individuals. Especially valuable advice and insights were received from a number of energy experts worldwide , including J. Phil Prince (Canadian Energy Research Institute), Aya Yamazaki (Japan Bank for International Cooperation), Fatih Birol (International Energy Agency), Neil Davis (Energy Information Administration, US Department of Energy) and Gordon Kwan (HSBC Securities).

  • Analysis and Forecast to 2024 Gas 2019 Analysis and Forecast to 2024 Gas Market Report 2019 Foreword
    Gas 2019 Analysis and forecast to 2024 Gas 2019 Analysis and forecast to 2024 Gas Market Report 2019 Foreword Foreword In 2018, natural gas played a major role in a remarkable year for energy. Global energy consumption rose at its fastest pace this decade, with natural gas accounting for 45% of the increase, more than any other fuel. Natural gas helped to reduce air pollution and limit the rise in energy-related CO2 emissions by displacing coal and oil in power generation, heating and industrial uses. The global gas narrative varies across regions: cheap and abundant resources in North America; a key contributor to reducing air pollution in the People’s Republic of China; a main feedstock and fuel for industry in emerging Asia; challenged by renewables in Europe; an emerging fuel in Africa and South America. What ties these together is the central position of gas in the global energy mix as one of the key enablers of the energy transition. Natural gas can be part of the solution to a cleaner energy path – both on land and at sea as an alternative marine fuel – but it faces its own challenges. They include ensuring price competitiveness in developing economies, guaranteeing security of supply in increasingly interdependent markets, and continuing the reduction of its environmental footprint, particularly in terms of methane emissions. Natural gas is at the heart of three core areas for the IEA: energy security, clean energy and opening to emerging economies. I hope that this latest edition of the IEA’s outlook for gas markets will help enhance market transparency and enable stakeholders to better understand current and future developments.

  • 2 China's Natural Gas Market
    Executive Summary Couv 18/09/02 9:53 Page 1 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY DEVELOPING CHINA’S NATURAL GAS MARKET The Energy Policy Challenges Driven by an increasing recognition of the many advantages of natural gas and by the need to diversify its coal-dominated energy supply, China’s natural gas industry is poised for rapid expansion. Some major gas infrastructure projects have been launched to support ambitious gas growth targets in the country for the next five years and beyond. Meeting such targets is easier said than done: expensive gas faces sharp competition from cheap DDEVELOPINGEVELOPING and abundant domestic coal; development of gas infrastructure needs money and will take time; and CHINA’S downstream market must be developed. For gas to CHINA’S achieve its full potential, China must put in place a clear gas policy and regulatory framework. All these NATURALNATURAL GASGAS pose significant energy policy challenges for the Chinese government. MARKETMARKET This study describes China’s gas market situation and examines the key issues facing its industry and policy makers. Drawing on the experiences and lessons from developed gas markets around the world and taking The Energy Policy Challenges into account the specific circumstances of the Chinese gas market, it also offers a number of policy suggestions for the Chinese government to consider in its effort to boost the country’s natural gas industry. page2-20x27 8/04/02 15:20 Page 1 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY ORGANISATION FOR 9, rue de la Fédération, ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION 75739 Paris, cedex 15, France AND DEVELOPMENT The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an Pursuant to Article 1 of the Convention signed in autonomous body which was established in Paris on 14th December 1960, and which came November 1974 within the framework of the into force on 30th September 1961, the Organisation Organisation for Economic Co-operation and for Economic Co-operation and Development Development (OECD) to implement an inter- (OECD) shall promote policies designed: national energy programme.

L.J. de Vries – TU Delft, Energy & Industry section Program MSc. System Engineering, Policy Analysis and Management Section Energy and Industry Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management Delft University of Technology Preface This report is the result of six months of research. It is written as a thesis to attain a master degree in System Engineering, Policy Analysis and Management (SEPAM) at Delft University of Technology. It was started with my ambition to raise a topic of discussion about energy sector in Southeast Asia and particularly, in Indonesia. During my preliminary research, I found that there was a cross-border gas pipelines master plan, called Trans-ASEAN Gas Pipelines (TAGP), proposed by the ASEAN Council on Petroleum (ASCOPE). Besides gas pipelines, the region also actively develops LNG infrastructure to facilitate LNG export and import trades. These aroused my curiosity about the projects, especially to know whether these two gas infrastructure master plans (i.e. TAGP and LNG infrastructure) could facilitate the regional (within Southeast Asia) and international gas trades in the future. At the end (which was actually the start of this research), I decided to focus on the development of gas infrastructure and gas market in Southeast Asia.
