Energy Resources in the Future
Recent statistics indicate that in 2005 the world consumed about 0.5 ZJ (ZJ = 10 Joules) of energy. If one assumes that the future world population stabilizes at 10 billions, and the people consume a similar amount of energy per capita to that of the people in the presently developed countries, the world will need about 2 ZJ a year. A recent survey of the available future energy resources indic...
متن کاملPlanning for future energy resources.
WE AGREE WITH M. I. HOFFERT ET AL. (“Advanced technology paths to global climate stability: energy for a greenhouse planet,” Review, 1 Nov., p. 981) that stabilizing atmospheric CO2 concentrations at 550 parts per million (ppm) or below will require investment in energy research and development well in excess of current levels. However, their conclusion—that known technological options are not ...
متن کاملHuman resources for future alternative-energy research.
To the Editor – We face, after over two decades of not-so-benign neglect, a serious deficit of alternative-energy (AE)-oriented basic science researchers. Indeed, a major problem in meeting the global energy challenge may well be the paucity of top scientists pursuing AE-related research problems. This deficit has the potential to self-proliferate, because a limited core of experienced research...
متن کاملEnergy Resources for the Past , Present and Future 1
The paper traces the development of fuel utilisation from the late eighteenth century to the present day. Initially coal is given some emphasis. The beginning of the oil industry is discussed in some detail, also its development in response to such factors as the proliferation of the motor car. World events including the two World Wars are examined for their effects on fuel supply and demand. F...
