Can The World's Energy Supply Meet Rising Energy Demand?

 

Press Release from China Decision Makers Consultancy

March 10, 2006

"The stakes are enormous," said Conference Producer Winnie Yang, senior project manager at China Decision Makers Consultancy, the conference's organizer. "More developed countries like Japan and the United States continue to use more and more energy, while billions of people in India and China are just beginning to use energy.

Some analysts in the industry fear that many countries have overstated their proven reserves of oil, natural gas and coal," Yang continued. "If this is the case, then, in addition to practicing better energy conservation, we should exploit alternative sources of energy, like nuclear, solar and wind power and biomass energy even more quickly than before."

Looking at the growing energy use in just one country - China - can be sobering.

2006 is bound to be an exciting period of development for the renewable energy industry. The perfect storm is brewing in renewable energy with the implementation of the Renewable Energy Law and its pricing and fee-sharing rules for on-grid renewables; the renewed target of 130GW electricity from renewable by 2020, and the increased market acceptance of renewable technologies and services.

In addition, power grids development is drawing more and more attention due to the serious imbalance between power T&D and power generation caused by a number of factors, including improper governmental incentives and underinvestment.
