Coal suffers a sharp change in fortunes, from being the fastest growing fossil fuel since 2000 (3.8% p.a.), to the slowest growing fuel from 2013 to 2035 (0.8% p.a.). This reflects the slowing of coal-based industrialization in Asia, compounded by the effects of environmental regulations and low gas prices in key markets. Natural gas is the fastest growing fossil fuel (1.9% p.a.), with oil (0.8% p.a.) marginally ahead of coal.
