In 2023, about 7.8 thousand British thermal units (BTUs) were needed to generate one U.S. dollar of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the Asia-Pacific region, which marked a reduction from about 10.9 thousand BTUs per U.S. dollar of GDP in 2000. It was forecasted that the region will need about four thousand BTUs to generate one U.S. dollar of GDP by 2050.

Characteristic
Energy intensity in thousand British thermal units per U.S. dollar GDP
Energy intensity refers to the amount of energy required to produce a unit of economic output, such as per U.S. dollar of GDP. It is a measure of how efficiently energy is used in an economy. Lower energy intensity indicates higher energy efficiency, meaning less energy is needed to generate economic value.
