Demand of Fossil Fuels as Source of Energy Continues to Grow to support the Power Generation, Industry and Transportation needs World Energy Demand By Primary Use By Fuel Oil Production Oil Consumption - World demand for energy continues to grow. Asia Pacific - Fossil fuel will still be the dominant source of energy. - Gas is growing very fast. - Increasing demand drives the development and production of oil and gas reserves. - Rapid increase in the consumption of oil as source of energy in the Asia region. - China economic growth is driving the rise of demand of LNG in China. - Demand of LNG in Japan is expected to be constant despite nuclear restart
