East Asian energy demand and supply

East Asian energy demand and supply: "Japan, China, Taiwan, and South Korea are all major energy markets, the world’s largest consumers of coal and LNG, and important centres for refining and petrochemicals. East Asia was at the forefront of the boom times, and also suffered through the slumps, yet it has grown enormously and is a global economic powerhouse.

Now, emphasis in the energy industry is shifting towards energy efficiency, environmental protection and overall cost effectiveness. In East Asia, Japan has been the pioneer in these areas, but South Korea and Taiwan have been swift to follow. With a market the size of China’s, and with such a sincere desire to modernise and promote growth, these ideas will be more difficult to implement. But there are signs of change as well, and these changes may be the next wave of progress in East Asia. Asia will continue to have a leading role in the world economy and the global energy market, and East Asia will continue to have a leadership role within Asia."
