Global CO2 emissions will rise more slowly through 2035 due to increasing renewable energy and energy efficiency. China will remain the largest energy consumer, though its growth will slow, while energy demand in India will grow the fastest. Transportation will see the slowest growth and transition to natural gas, biofuels, and electricity, while power generation accounts for over half of increased energy demand. Natural gas will be the fastest growing fossil fuel.

1. What will this mean for the environment?5
Global CO2 emissions will
rise but more slowly
owing to increasing shares
of gas and renewables
and energy intensity
reducing worldwide,
as rising economic growth
is now accompanied by
flattening energy demand.

Overall, China will still import and consume the
most energy using more per head than the EU,
What are the wider implications?4
but growth will slow and later be fastest in India.
Rising shale gas and tight oil
output help the US achieve energy
self-sufficiency.

Transport will be
the slowest
growing sector and
use more natural
gas, biofuels and
electricity,
but will still be
dominated by oil.
Power generation will account
for more than half of growth.
