Asia's Energy Adequacy, Environmental Sustainability, and Affordability: An Overview

摘要: The three pillars of Asian energy security are an adequate, reliable supply; environmental sustainability; and affordable access for all. As Asians become more affluent, managing demand by tackling outmoded subsidies so prices reflect true costs, exploring green innovations in technology prudent infrastructure design, changing behavior will be crucial to achieving as expanding both renewable nonrenewable sources environmentally sound cost-effective manner. Without radical changes the region’s mix, oil consumption double, natural gas triple, coal increase 81%. This would double carbon dioxide emissions nearly 24 billion tons per year 2035 which is than 22 experts see maximum sustainable whole world. To fully manage explore new sources, cooperative programs that integrate delivery systems regionally must implemented. Jointly promoting savings does not require or pose high but it political cooperate confidence makes cooperation possible. Cross-border collaboration technologically commercially viable. What missing commitment markets build necessary infrastructure.
