3 I. INTRODUCTION Sustained economic growth and increasing population in the East Asia Summit (EAS) region are the two major drivers responsible for the doubling energy demand in The increase of energy demand threatens energy security and the effort to curb carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. These common energy challenges will need to be addressed through concerted efforts, including: collective measures and actions to rapidly develop and deploy energy efficiency and saving, high-efficient and low-emission coal-fired power plant technology, and nuclear safety, and to double the share of renewable energy to the overall energy mix for inclusive and sustainable development. The energy outlook and energy saving potential present the balance of energy best-mix based on each country s policy and targets, and predict the pattern of future energy consumption 3

4 THE EAST ASIA SUMMIT The EAS is a collection of diverse countries. It is composed of the 10 ASEAN member countries Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao People s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Viet Nam, and six other countries Australia, China, India, Japan, Republic of Korea (henceforth, Korea), and New Zealand; EAS countries are diverse in terms of per capita income, standards of living, population density, energy resource endowments, climate, and energy consumption per capita; Some EAS countries have what might be called mature economies, the majority have developing economies. Several countries have a per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of less than US$1,000 (in 2005 prices), and a large percentage of the people still meet their energy needs mainly with traditional biomass fuels; Despite the differences amongst the 16 countries, the EAS leaders agreed that the EAS could play a significant role in community building, which could be an important cornerstone for the development of regional cooperation in the years to come. 4

5 THE OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE The objective of this study is to analyse the potential impacts of proposed additional energy saving goals, action plans, and policies in the EAS region on energy consumption by fuel and sector and greenhouse gas emissions; The study also provides a platform for energy collaboration and capacity building between EAS countries on energy modelling and policy development; The study supports the Cebu Declaration, which highlighted a number of goals including the following: improving the efficiency and environmental performance of fossil fuel use; reducing the dependence on conventional fuels through intensified energy efficiency and conservation programmes, increase the share of hydropower, expansion of renewable energy systems and biofuel production/utilisation, and for interested parties, civilian nuclear power; and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions through effective policies and measures, thus contributing to global climate change abatement. 5

6 II. METHODOLOGY AND ASSUMPTIONS ASEAN countries: The energy models of ASEAN countries were developed using the Longrange Energy Alternative Planning System (LEAP) software. Final energy consumption is forecasted using energy demand equations by energy and sector and future macroeconomic assumptions. Other countries: Other countries used the IEEJ model, which has a macro-economic module that calculates coefficients for various explanatory variables based on exogenously specified GDP growth rates. The macro-economic module also projects prices for natural gas and coal based on exogenously specified oil price assumptions. The Working Group members were asked to specify assumptions about the future electricity generation mix in their respective countries by energy source. These assumptions were used to determine the future electricity generation mix. Many assumptions were used to make prediction based on each country s situation of data availability. 6

7 Population Assumptions Assumed Population in the EAS Region, 2013 and 2040 Assumed Average Annual Growth in Population, 2013 to 2040 The population in the EAS region is projected to increase at an average annual rate of about 0.6 percent, reaching about 4 billion in The population growth is assumed to be fastest in developing countries. Only Japan will experience negative growth by

8 Economic Assumptions Assumed Economic Activity in the EAS Region, 2013 and 2040 Assumed Average Annual Growth in GDP, 2013 to 2040 The GDP annual growth rate is predicted to be 4.0 percent from 2013 to The growth rates are assumed to be quite high in the developing countries, with the highest growth rates in India, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Cambodia, Viet Nam, and Philippines. 8

By energy sources, natural gas demand in the BAU is projected to show the fastest growth, increasing by 4 percent per year, from 243 Mtoe in 2013 to 704 Mtoe in Although oil will retain the largest share of total final energy consumption, it is projected to grow at a lower rate of 2.6 percent per year from , reaching 2,164 Mtoe in

However, this study shows that even in the APS, the emission will be about 4,870 Mt-C. It is supposed to be at zero emission for the efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 C to be successful. 18

NECESSARY INVESTMENT COST FOR POWER GENERATION BAU APS PV/Wind/Bio mass 21% Coal 41% PV/Wind/Biom ass 38% Coal 12% Gas 3% Hydro/Geoth ermal 13% Nuclear 31% Nuclear 19% Gas 6% Hydro/Geother mal 16% About US$4 trillion investment cost for power generation would be needed to meet the growing electricity demand in the EAS region; ASEAN alone would need about $US 600 billion investment cost for power generation. It is clear that investment in power generation under the APS could shift to low-carbon power generation sources such as nuclear and PV/wind/biomass 19

20 VII. CONCLUSIONS & POLICY IMPLICATIONS Sustained population and economic growth in the EAS region will lead to significant increases in energy demand to almost double from ; Coal will remain the significant fuel source. Coal s share of the total primary energy mix is forecast to decline from around 52 percent in 2013 to 45 percent in On the other hand, the share of gas is projected to increase to 14 percent from 9.5 percent over the same period. Electricity demand will increase more than double from nuclear will increase 5.4 times and new and renewable energy (NRE) 2.5 times during this period, coal will still have the largest share in power generation, at 58.4 percent, in 2040; Industry remains a major consumer of energy, but the transport sector s consumption continues to increase rapidly. These two sectors are challenging sectors in terms of improving energy efficiency and reducing CO 2 emissions; Under COP21, to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 C, it will require zero emissions sometime between 2030 and However, this study shows that even in the APS, the emission will be about 4,870 Mt-C. To meet growing electricity demand by 2040, the EAS region will need about $US 4.0 trillion for power generation investment. ASEAN alone will need about $US 600 billion. 20

21 POLICY IMPLICATIONS It should be noted that appropriate policies will differ between countries based on differences in country circumstances, policy objectives, and market structures and that not all members necessarily agreed to all recommendations Energy Efficiency Action Plans in Final Consumption Sectors: The industry sector would be a major source of energy savings because it will still be the largest energy-consuming sector by There are several EEC action plans to be implemented, which include building design and replacement of existing facilities and equipment with more efficient ones; Renewable energy policies: There is a need to shift from fossil to non-fossil fuels. This could be attained by increasing the share of new and renewable energy as well as nuclear energy in the energy mix of each country; Technology development policies: To curb the increasing CO 2 emissions, environmental technologies will need to be considered (CCS, CCT, Hydrogen fuel and others); Energy supply security policies: The region is largely depending on imported oil and gas. Thus, measures to secure the supply of energy will be very important for the region. 21
