The statistical model developed for this study (a joint effort by Ernst & Young and the Getulio Vargas Foundation) estimates the growth in world energy demand at 2.6% per year, taking the reference scenario as a basis. The countries that will demand the most of this input are those  that have the greatest economic growth rates, such as China,with consumption expansion of 4.9% per year, and India, with 3.8%. Brazil will be the seventh largest energy consumer in the world (today it occupies the 11th position), with average annual growth of 3.3%.
