Enigin Update - Middle East experiences Largest Rises in Energy Consumption
ENERGY consumption in China and the United States is growing quickly, but no region has experienced a greater boom in demand recently than the Middle East.
A GE report compared figures from 2007, the most recent year for which data are available through the International Energy Agency and the World Bank, with the demand exactly a decade earlier - it provides a snapshot of just how much energy demand has grown in the Middle East.
Growth figures include:
* Oman, up 135.9%
* Qatar, up 112.9%
* Iran, up 95.9%
* Yemen, up 94.5%
* Egypt, up 73.2%
* Saudi Arabia, up 61.8%
These figures are put into context when compared to an 80% growth in China and a 9.1% growth in the U.S.
Of course, none of the Middle Eastern countries consume anywhere near as much energy as either China or the U.S. (Iran is closest at 184,935 kilotons, a fraction of the U.S.’s 2.3 million kiloton consumption and China’s 1.95 million kiloton consumption). But the Middle East’s rapid change is a key driver in the region’s current push to maximize efficiency and to pursue sustainable energy goals.
Enigin Distributors across the middle east have the energy efficient technology from Enigin to enable businesses and the public sector reduce their energy demands, plus brand new systems for monitoring and publicising renewable energy use. - providing financial savings, reduced carbon footprint and a responsible public image.
