2 Growing economies and populations drive energy use higher; reduced energy intensity, reflecting energy efficiency gains, moderates this trend average annual change ( ) percent per year 7 6 Energy Intensity GDP per capita Population U.S. OECD Europe Japan South Korea China India Brazil Middle East Africa Russia Source: EIA, International Energy Outlook 2013 MIT Energy Initiative Symposium, May 12,

3 U.S. energy use grows slowly over the projection reflecting steady growth in GDP offset by declines in energy intensity U.S. primary energy consumption quadrillion Btu 120 History 2012 Projections Renewables (excluding liquid biofuels) Natural gas Coal Nuclear Liquid biofuels 27% 8% 18% 8% 1% 27% 9% 19% 8% 2% 30% 10% 18% 8% 2% 20 Oil and other liquids 37% 34% 32% Source: EIA, Annual Energy Outlook 2014 MIT Energy Initiative Symposium, May 12,
