<br />Note that this is wildly different from ''industry.energy'' which is global. That's because a lot of manufacturing happens in poorer countries.

==If every country was as "developed" as western nations==
Take the numbers from the status quo, and scale up ''some'' of them.
 
Use the ratio of energy-per-capita, in developed countries vs world average.

We have to scale just the ''non-heating'' component, but we don't have exact data on it. Best estimate: assume that the status quo is 50/50 heating & nonheating (similar to residential). So we scale up half of it.
