Energy consumption of Asia accounts for 36% of the global total at present. China, India and the ASEAN countries have largely contributed to the ever-growing global energy consumption. Asia is predicted to account for 80% of coal, 26% of natural gas and 52% of electricity consumption of the world by 2040 . The share of Asia in the global primary energy consumption will increase to 48% by 2050. China continues to be the world's largest energy consumer, and the combined consumption of India and ASEAN will be similar to that of China by that time .
