Energy status in Southeast Asia Energy status in SEA is presented from six aspects: energy supply and demand, energy and electricity mix, energy independence, energy intensity, renewable energy development, and carbon emissions. 3.1. Energy supply and demand
South East Asia's primary energy mix is dominated by fossil fuels today, accounting for 81%, on par with the global average. Coal reliance diminishes slowly, but oil will remain at similar levels as today and natural gas will grow, although contributing an overall lower share of primary energy.
Today, the region's final energy demand is 68% fossil, dominated by oil (Figure 2). The fossil share will reduce to 44% in 2060, which is the highest proportion of all global regions except for the oil-and-gas-dominated Middle East and North Africa, and North East Eurasia. Reliance on coal remains strong across South East Asia.
Laos hydropower potential, a crucial part of the renewable energy mix. With its uneven energy distribution, South-East Asia must enhance its energy interconnectivity. Infrastructure investment remains an important obstacle in the region. ASEAN countries can look to Europe as an example in fostering regional collaboration.
