- Demand for coal in Asia and the Pacific will increase by 52.8% from 2010 to 2035, reaching 3,516.3 million tons of oil equivalent (Mtoe) by 2035;
- Oil demand in Asia and the Pacific is projected to increase by 1.9% yearly over the outlook period and reach 1,973.0 Mtoe by 2035, 59.3% higher than the 1,238.2 Mtoe in 2010;
- Demand for natural gas is projected to increase at 3.9% per year, reaching 1,463.2 Mtoe in 2035, 2.6 times the 2010 level of 566.7 Mtoe;
- Driven by economic and industrial development and higher living standards, electricity demand in Asia and the Pacific is projected to more than double between 2010 and 2035, reaching 16,169.2 terawatt-hours in 2035;
- CO2 emissions in Asia and the Pacific as a whole will increase from 13,404.0 million tons of CO2 in 2010 to 22,112.6 million tons of CO2 in 2035 at a growth rate of 2.0% per year, slightly slower than the projected growth in energy demand of 2.1% per year; and
- To meet energy demand in the BAU case, Asia and the Pacific as a whole will need a cumulative investment of about $11.7 trillion in the energy sector (2010–2035), from upstream energy extraction and production to midstream energy transformation and transportation to downstream energy distribution.
