Although, for a historical perspective, most increases have occurred in currently high-income regions, more recently the largest increase occurred in emerging economies. Given the aspirations for income growth in medium- and low-income countries, a continued high rate of growth in energy demand is to be expected in the coming decades, with important implications for sustainability.

TIMER model, energy demand module
Some sectors are represented in a generic way as shown here, the sectors transport, residential and heavy industry are modelled in specific modules.

Key policy issues

  • How will energy demand evolve particularly in emerging and medium- and low-income economies?
  • What is the mix of end-use energy carriers to meet future energy demand?
  • How can energy efficiency contribute to reducing the growth rate of energy demand and mitigate pressures on the global environment?

Introduction

"model component" is not in the list (driver component, pressure component, interaction component, state component, impact component, response component) of allowed values for the "FrameworkElementType" property.
