The Asian‐Pacific region is undergoing massive development. Most of the nations in the area have growing populations and growing economies. Many nations in the region are changing from a low‐energy, village‐based agrarian lifestyle to one of high‐energy usage which is manufacturing and urban‐based. This paper discusses the impact of demographic and social change on the energy supply and demand patterns in the region, on global energy resources and on the trade in those resources.
