to result in increased energy demands from China. However, assessing the demand that is likely to emerge can be difficult due to a larger number of potential influences which may
impact in that demand (Crompton and Wu, 2005). However, over the last decade, despite the decrease in energy intensity in China due to new technologies and more efficient use of
energy the revision of ongoing energy forecasts for China are being revised upwards (IEA, 2006). The IEA produces regular assessments of energy needs, which are measured tons of oil equivalent,
whatever the source of the energy. In 2005 the IEA revised their estimate for Chinas energy needs up until the year 2030, this was a upwards revision by a
total of 1.6 billion tones of oil equivalent; this was a revision increasing the demand (Rosen and Houser, 2007). It is estimated that by 2030 China will be consuming 20%
of the global energy which is used. Figure 1 below shows the old and the revised IEA energy forecasts for China compared the several other main energy consumers to place
this into a meaningful context. Figure 1 Energy demand forecasts in million of tons of oil equivalents (Rosen and Houser, 2007).
From this it is possible to see China will not be alone with increasing energy needs, but the pace of that increase is at a much greater rate and
with the revised estimate by 2030 China will be the single largest user of energy. A key consideration when looking at energy use and provision, planning and looking at
energy security is to consider how these energy needs will be met. Energy may come from a wide range of sources; the quantity is measured in tones of oil,
