Population growth is pro(ected to be roughly " percent per year This would mean the population would rise from 23" billion4 before stabilising at #3& billion3 Economic growth will drive the energy demand4 with the developing countries constituting 5%6 of the increased demand
use3 !e can brea0down the sector into four main industrial activities: iron and steel4 chemical4 non7metallic and other industries3 9emar0able improvements in the energy efficiency of steel production are e'pected /teady decreases in the energy intensity of both chemical and non7metallic industries are e'pected3
the world level4 the energy intensity of industry decreases by "3&6 per year3 This means that the energy productivity of industry is progressing by "3& 6 per year3

slow increase in the overall energy use in transport4 results from a combination of competing factors3 8verall4 the increase in energy demand results principally from the growing number and si:e of vehicles3 This increase is partially offset by better fuel efficiency3
thermal energy use per household is e'pected to decrease in the industriali:ed countries with important improvements in energy efficiency3 In the developing countries4 the thermal energy use slightly increases3 The efficiency gains are offset by the steady increase in energy consumption due to increase of population3
