International Energy Outlook 2009: World marketed energy consumption is projected to rise by 44 percent from 2006 to 2030. Total energy demand in the non-OECD countries increases by 73 percent, compared with an increase of 15 percent in the OECD* countries. Unconventional sources including biofuels could provide nearly half of the growth in global liquid fuel supplies during 2006-30 and global emissions of the main greenhouse gas carbon dioxide will jump more than 39 percent by 2030, without new policies and binding pacts to cut global warming pollution.
