KUALA LUMPUR: Energy demand in ASEAN and the Asia-Pacific region is expected to rise in the coming years, driven by the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) under the Fifth Industrial Revolution, said Petroliam Nasional Bhd (PETRONAS).
The growth in energy demand will also be fuelled by the perpetual hunger for growth, rightful justifiable pursuit of economic development, rapid urbanisation, growing middle income and the demographic within ASEAN and the Asia Pacific, PETRONAS president/group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik Tengku Aziz said during the closing ceremony of Energy Asia 2025 conference here today.
