Coal and Investment : Regional Investment Strategies For Coal, Power Infrastructure and Technology Transfer
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) region currently comprises eighteen economies which together account for some 40 per cent of the world's population and about 45 per cent of world trade. The economies are highly disparate in terms of degree of development and expected rates of economic growth. Taken as a whole, the economies of the region have been experiencing rapid economic growth in real terms, the average from 1980 to 1994 being an estimated 3.5 per cent per year compared with a world average of 2.7 per cent Coal has been the largest single source of energy for power generation for APEC economies and it is also an important direct source of energy for industry. Forecasts made to date .indicate that it will continue to play a central role in meeting the region's expanding demand for energy. Within the APEC region as a whole, electricity has been, and is expected to continue to be the most rapidly expanding form of energy, and coal has been the main fuel source. In some economies the expected further expansion in. coal usage for generation of electricity and for direct use in industry reflects the likely increasing availabilities of relatively low cost supplies of coal within the region, along with markedly increasing demand accompanying rapid industrialisation.
