Explanation The Figure 4-3 shows the World energy consumption. The share of energy consumption in developed countries will increase a little in the coming years as the energy consumption per person is already very high than the world average and will account for increase in 18% of world energy consumption. In developing countries, china and India will take a big share in energy consumption in future. They together accounts for half the increase in the world energy consumption between the year 1995-2035. Conclusion: In 1995, the world energy consumption is 605 EJ and in 2035 it is 812 EJ
