Qld well placed to supply energy demand growth in Asia

The Queensland Resources Council (QRC) on Wednesday said Queensland was well placed to supply India’s growing demand for coal, as the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicted an upsurge in coal demand. In its 2015 World Energy Outlook, the IEA noted that developing Asia, a region in which India took over from China as the largest source of consumption growth, was the leading demand centre for every major element of the world's energy mix in 2040, including oil, gas, coal, renewables and nuclear.
