The energy demand is expected to grow by two-thirds in the period to 2040, particularly the electricity demand due to a rising middle class population. Electro mobility does not gain much of a foothold in the projects. These are some of the findings of the Energy Outlook 2017. |

| + | |
− | share a common challenge to meet rising demand in a secure, affordable and sustainable
| + | |

− | this task. These countries have made major efforts in recent years to upgrade policy
| + | |
− | frameworks, reform fossil-fuel consumption subsidies, increase regional co-operation and
| + | |
− | encourage greater investment in the region’s considerable renewable energy potential.

| + | |

| + | |
− | imported oil. At the same time, energy-related air pollution, both indoor and outdoor, also
