Overview of the Northeast Asia energy situation

David von Hippel, Timothy Savage and Peter Hayes

Energy Policy, 2011, vol. 39, issue 11, 6703-6711

Abstract: Rapid economic growth in Northeast Asia has vastly increased regional needs for energy services. In several countries of the region, this ongoing growth has been accompanied by significant environmental problems. The countries of the region already constitute the largest import market for liquefied natural gas (LNG). The region has accounted for a progressively larger share of world primary energy use; its share has risen from under 19% in 1999 to over 25% in 2007.
