The switch to more low-carbon energy will require an extra investment (投资) of￡2.7 trillion-about 0.2%
of GDP-the IEA report said, with an average￡11 spent per head worldwide on more efficient cars, buildings
and so on. The improved energy efficiency would deliver fuel-cost savings of almost￡4.5 trillion.
The report says that the world energy demand will grow by l.6% per year on average between 2006 and
2030. This figure is lower than planned last year because the economic slowdown has reduced demand.
Demand for oil will rise from the current 85 m barrels (桶) per day to 106 m barrels by 2030.
Demand for coal will rise more than any other fuel-despite the environmental damage it causes-making up
more than a third of the increase in energy use.
The report claims oil will remain the world's main source of energy for many years to come even with the
rapid development of altemative renewable energy technology but the amount of oil remaining, production
costs and consumer price will remain unpredictable.
Mr. Tanaka, IEA executive director, said big international oil and gas companies would in the future have
limited chances to increase production while in contrast national companies are planned to make up about 80%
of the increase of both oil and gas production to 2030.
The report says measures to control CO2 emissions (排放) will improve energy security by reducing global
fossil-fuel energy use but this would not alarm the world's major oil producers.
"OPEC production will need to be 12 m barrels higher per day in 2030 than today. It is clear that the energy
departments will have to play the leading role in handling climate change," said Mr. Tanaka.

| Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010. While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.
