West Asian nations are dependent to East Asian nations for energy. At the meantime East Asian countries, e. g. Iran and Saudi Arabia, has very high energy intensity. This means that in the future it is possible that domestic needs force these countries to constrain energy export. The consequence may be a big problem for energy security of west Asian nations. On the other hand in many cases technological developments of eastern Asian countries can make a great change in energy consumption optimization in the east part of the continent. This argument gets a real regional form when we take into account how micro consumption behavior of people in western countries at macro level may affect western Asian countries. In this study we focus on this micro-macro chain of actions and how a regional collaboration can benefit both sides of the continent.
