Why is it important?

Oil consumption in industrial and transport sector, gas consumption in fertilizer and power sector, and electricity consumption in industrial sector have positive and significant impact on economic growth in the long run. However, oil consumption in agricultural and power sector, coal consumption in power and brick kilns sector, gas consumption in cement sector, and electricity consumption in agricultural sector have negative and significant impact on economic growth.

Perspectives

For sustainable energy supply, reduce the consumption of oil and coal to indigenously available resources, however, for sustainable economic growth, encourage industrial sector to use electricity, while fertilizer and power sector to use gas.
