HELSINKI, May 3 (Itar-Tass) - The International Energy Agency (IAE) has forecast a 150-percent growth of world demand for fuels by 2030.
The countries that once constituted the former Soviet Union, including Russia, would account for 40 percent of fuel exports to international markets, IAE Executive Director Claude Mandril said summing up the results of a world economy trends survey.
He pointed to the importance of stable energy exports from Russia, including those of natural gas, and to the increase of capital investments into Russia’s gas sector.
