✦ Synopsis
The relationship of energy use to economic activity and social well-being needs to he understood to achieve understanding of the role of energy use at the national level requires. Gross domestic product (GDP) measures the value of goods and services produced in a country in one year. There is a close relationship between energy supply, energy consumption, and GDP, which indicates the economic development of a country. The living standard of a country is often measured by the per capita GDP. This article presents the evaluations and future projections of energy and energy resources of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The total primary energy supply, total final energy consumption, and energy intensities for supply and consumption are analysed. The energy data for all OECD countries are presented and analyses of the differences in energy and GDP ratios are conducted at an aggregate level by examining differences in the factors that affect the energy intensities. To provide accurate projections for the future, new correlations are developed between average GDP, total primary energy supply, total final consumption, total per capita primary energy supply, total per capita final consumption and total OECD population. 97lQ3403 Energy consumption in horticulture under glass Breuer, J. G. TVVL Mug., November 1996, 25, (ll), 56-61. (In Dutch) Approximately 10,000 ha are under cultivation for Dutch horticulture under glass and it currently consumes more than 4 billion m3 of natural gas per year. By the year 2000 a 50% reduction in gas consumption compared to the 1980 level is hoped to be reached through improved energy efficiency. Consumption was reduced to about 62% of the 1980 level by 1994. However, there was failure concerning the objective to stabilize total COZ emissions. The conservation methods are explained in detail. 97lO3404 Energy efficient lighting in China-problems and prospects
