DUBLIN, Apr. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Research and Markets

(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dhwjn2/energy_and) has announced the addition of the "Energy & Environment Industry Outlook in 2015 - An Asia-Pacific Perspective" report to their offering.

With the recent plunge in crude oil prices, it is a good time to think about the relationship between crude oil and the energy and environment markets. Many believe that the downward trend is temporary, with superficial impact on the markets. Although prices continue to plummet, industry challenges and operation cost still remain acute such as cost of power transmission and distribution. Other industry challenges include high non-revenue water with low electricity tariff for water utilities, lukewarm uptake of renewable energy, and random development of smart cities and green buildings. The study focuses on the above-mentioned developments as well as current and future trends of the Asia-Pacific energy and environment industries in 2015.

The top trends of the energy and environment industry in Asia-Pacific (APAC) in 2015 are:

- Oil Price in the New Normal Territory?
- Lower liquefied natural gas (LNG) Prices Invigorate Gas to Power Market
