Energy

Despite technological advances that have promoted energy efficiency gains,
energy use in OECD countries will continue to grow another 35 per cent by
2020. Commercial and residential energy use is the second most rapidly
growing area of global energy use after transport.
In 2002 the motor vehicle stock in OECD countries was 550 million vehicles
(75 per cent of which were personal cars). A 32 per cent increase in vehicle
ownership is expected by 2020. At the same time, motor vehicle kilometres
are projected to increase by 40 per cent and global air travel is projected to
triple in the same period.
Households consume 29 per cent of global energy and consequently
contribute to 21 per cent of resultant CO2 emissions.
One-fifth of the world’s final energy consumption in 2013 was from
renewables.
