The document summarizes key findings from the World Energy Outlook 2012 report. It finds that:
1) Global energy demand is expected to increase over 35% by 2035, driven primarily by rising living standards in China, India, and the Middle East.
2) Emerging economies like China and India will account for most of this increased demand and will steer global energy markets and trade flows away from OECD countries.
3) Energy efficiency represents a major untapped resource that could halve the growth in global energy demand by 2035 while also reducing costs and delaying carbon lock-in.
