China's energy demand is 4 times that of India
at Thursday, July 22, 2010
China and India import much of their fuel requirements and the rising demand in China for fuel is bound to create ripples, if not waves, in the global energy markets. More worryingly, it will mean more competition between India and China to acquire energy assets in other countries—something in which China has had far more success than India.
BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2010 puts India's demand at 469 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2009, compared with China’s 2,252 million tonnes.
