Notes: A. From commercial energy sources (not including traditional biomass fuels.) b. Energy-Saving Scenario assumes adoption of significant energy efficiency measures. c. Current Trends Scenario assumes that current energy use patterns dominate future consumption. d. FSU is the former Soviet Union; CEE is Central and Eastern Europe.
