Abstract
Oil, natural gas and coal are the major and depletable energy resources of the world. Trends of these energy resources combined with the total primary energy consumption, national gross domestic product, population growth and associated carbon dioxide emissions of the world during the last decade (nineties) are discussed. Also, discussed are the global electric power generation and gas turbine market. The analyzed data and trends of various parameters reveal that the energy market and related industries are expected to grow, in coming years, comparatively at a higher rate in Asia & pacific and Central & South America regions provided the observed industrial and economic growth of the last decade continue. Even though North American boom for gas turbines in power generation is over, the need for gas turbine is expected to grow in the Asia & Pacific region with the increasing demand for energy there.
