Abstract
A majority of the countries in the world are importers of petroleum and its products. The fossil fuels are being consumed at a rate, which is a million times faster than their rate of formation. The prices of petroleum products are mounting at an alarming pace due to the unmatched contribution to our energy requirements. The fast depletion of the reserves is another major factor contributing to the rise in prices. Most developing countries are in the initial stages of industrialization; their energy consumption has been growing at a greater rate compared with that of the developed countries. During 1990-2000, conventional energy consumption of the Asia-Pacific countries increased by 32.5 % compared with 11 % growth of world consumption. The trend of growth in global energy consumption is expected to continue in the future primarily because of the expected growth in world population and the economic growth of the developing countries.
