IEEJ:May 2017 © IEEJ2017 Asia/World Energy Outlook ― Focusing on ASEAN Economies towards Market Integration ― * * * * * Zheng LU Shigeru SUEHIRO Yuji MATSUO Yukari YAMASHITA Kokichi ITO This paper presents the major results of a long-term outlook of energy supply and demand, and CO2 emissions for Asia and the world, especially the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region. The world’s primary energy consumption will reach 18.9 Gtoe (billion tons of oil equivalent) in 2040, up 40% from 2014. During the same period, ASEAN’s primary energy consumption will expand 2.2-fold, accounting for 14% of the global increment. ASEAN’s coal consumption will increase 3.5-fold, accounting for 40% of the world's increment. One-fifth of global energy-related CO2 emission growth (9.5 billion tons from 2014 to 2040) will be due to ASEAN. Due to a rapid increase in fossil fuel demand, ASEAN will become a net importer of fossil fuels. On the other hand, ASEAN countries will require enormous investment in energy resource development and infrastructure construction. In order to promote effective use of regional energy resources, infrastructure consolidation, such as power grid interconnection, can be expected to reduce energy imports, increase the energy self-sufficiency rate and suppress CO2 emissions. Keywords: Energy outlook, ASEAN, Integration of market, Energy investment 1. Foreword developed countries. As energy infrastructure In response to weak economic recovery in development is insufficient in ASEAN countries such Western countries and economic modulation in China as Myanmar and Cambodia, the ASEAN region’s and other emerging countries, global energy non-electrification rate was as high as 19% as of consumption growth has decelerated over recent 2013, with some 120 million people having no access years. Over a medium to long term, however, global to electricity. Economic growth will inevitably lead energy demand is expected to continue expanding energy consumption to increase further. due to global economic and population growth, ASEAN has Indonesia, Malaysia and other centering on Asia. Following China and India, the countries rich with fossil energy resources and still Association of Southeast Asian Nations will remains a net fossil fuel exporter. In the future, contribute to such global energy demand expansion. however, ASEAN will increase its dependence on ASEAN has a population of 600 million, greater fossil fuel imports as oil and other fossil fuel than in the European Union, including many production in the region fails to catch up with fossil countries with great economic growth potential, and fuel demand growth. While ASEAN has great supply is expected to continue strong growth. Given that potential for renewable energy including hydro, ASEAN consists of countries in various economic geothermal and biomass, the uneven distribution of development stages, ASEAN growth will become renewable energy resources has been a bottleneck for steadier if the ASEAN Economic Community, their development. In order to effectively utilize launched in late 2015 to repeal internal tariffs, regional energy resources, ASEAN countries plan to increases its effectiveness. internationally connect their energy infrastructures Per capita energy consumption in the ASEAN such as the electric grids. region is still lower than in Japan and other For this paper, we prepared a long-term energy supply and demand outlook for Asia and other regions of the world, using a group of quantitative *Energy Data and Modelling Center, Institute of Energy Economics, Japan 13-1, Kachidoki 1-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo models, such as an econometric energy supply and 104-0054 Japan IEEJ:May 2017 © IEEJ2017 demand model, based on actual economic, social, and 2040.
