This book examines key issues and policy options of developing Asia's energy security. Rapid growth has transformed Asia's presence in the world economy. Past growth has dramatically improved Asia's living standards, lifting millions out of poverty. Future growth will do the same. But, crucially, can Asia secure the energy it needs to fuel this dramatic economic expansion? This book stresses that the threefold challenge of energy supply security, environmental sustainability, and affordable access requires a multipronged approach. The book also explains that the region must actively contain it |
