Worldwide, economic prosperity is tightly linked to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/articles?id=10.1257\/pandp.20241000\">substantial energy usage<\/a>.

Energy is necessary, on the one hand, for economic expansion. It promotes infrastructure, drives industry, and raises living standards. On the other hand, a large portion of the developing world&#8217;s energy still comes from coal, which is a major contributor to GHGs. As developing countries grow, their energy demands are expected to surge, potentially driving global emissions even higher. As shown in Figure 2, projections suggest that by 2100, cumulative GHG emissions from non-OECD nations, mostly developing nations, could be 3 times higher than those from OECD nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"615\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/post-image_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94226\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/post-image_3.jpg 615w, https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/post-image_3-300x175.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Source: M.

The differences are obvious. Figure 3 shows energy consumption per person in a developed country like Canada, versus consumption in less developed countries. While the average Canadian consumed about 100,000 kWh of energy in 2023, the average person in Bangladesh used less than 3,000 kWh. These differences directly translate to disparities in living standards and economic opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"374\" height=\"312\" src=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/post-image_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94227\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/post-image_5.jpg 374w, https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/post-image_5-300x250.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Source: Our World In Data,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ourworldindata.org\/grapher\/per-capita-energy-use?tab=chart\">Energy-mix<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, 3.7 billion people\u2014nearly half the world&#8217;s population\u2014consume less than 5,800 kWh of energy per capita annually, less than 6 percent of the average Canadian&#8217;s consumption. As developing countries strive to improve living standards, their growth is expected to be about three times that of developed countries. By 2050, these countries (excluding China) are expected to account for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bp.com\/content\/dam\/bp\/business-sites\/en\/global\/corporate\/pdfs\/energy-economics\/energy-outlook\/bp-energy-outlook-2024-emerging-economies.pdf\">50 percent<\/a>&nbsp;of the world\u2019s energy needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developing nations face the dual challenge of replacing coal plants with renewable energy and meeting growing energy demands with zero-emission power sources. The significant increase in energy growth as shown in Figure 4 comes from population growth and improvements in living standards enabled through greater energy consumption. This presents a dilemma. While few would argue against the right of these countries to grow and improve living standards for billions, the implications on global emissions and climate change are large.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developed nations face a similar, though less pronounced, challenge. They too must replace existing coal- fuelled power with renewable sources while also investing in new green energy sources to manage growing demand. However, developed nations have more diversified energy sources, such as solar, wind, nuclear, and hydro. Their future energy needs are modest compared to developing nations, largely due to slower economic growth rates. Developed nations also have the financial and technical resources to make the necessary investments in cleaner power sources. Figure 4 shows a flat or slightly increasing forecast for energy demand among OECD countries, driven by minimal population growth and modest economic expansion, which is offset by improvements in energy efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"392\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/post-image_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94228\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/post-image_4.jpg 392w, https:\/\/resourcework2.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/post-image_4-300x292.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/outlooks\/ieo\/pdf\/IEO2021_ReleasePresentation.pdf\">International Energy Outlook, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with those advantages, headlines are being made about how countries such as the United States and Canada will be finding the clean energy required to power the forecasted growth in AI data centers.
