Population

2014 Population Growth Rates • USA: . 77 Definition: The average annual percent change in the population, resulting from a surplus (or deficit) of births over deaths and the balance of migrants entering and leaving a country. The rate may be positive or negative. The growth rate is a factor in determining how great a burden would be imposed on a country by the changing needs of its people for infrastructure (e. g. , schools, hospitals, housing, roads), resources (e. g. , food, water, electricity), and jobs. Rapid population growth can be seen as threatening by neighboring countries. Source: CIA World Factbook - Unless otherwise noted, information in this page is accurate as of January 1, 2014

GDP/Population • Luxembourg-10. 27 x world • United states- 5. 02 x world http: //statisticstimes. com/economy/world-gdp-capita-ranking. php Source: International Monetary Fund World Economic Outlook

GDP/Population • Affluence- average consumption of each person in the population • It is assumed that as the GDP increases, consumption of good/services/energy will increase http: //statisticstimes. com/economy/world-gdp-capita-ranking. php http: //www. imf. org/external/pubs/ft/weo/2015/01/weodata

Energy/GDP • The energy intensity required to produce a unit of GDP is falling in most countries of the world • China GDP grew by about 10% a year between 1980 and 2005, while energy use grew by a little less than 6% per year • Between 2005 and 2010, real GDP continued to grow by about 10% per year, while energy use grew by about 7. 5% per year • Up until 2005, the USA was able to increase real GDP by 3% per year, while increasing energy use by only 1% per year

CO 2/Energy • The amount of carbon by weight emitted per unit of energy consumed • Can be decomposed into fossil and non-fossil shares, and emissions can be expressed as carbon emissions per unit of fossil energy • Scott can you explain how they calculate this?

Decarbonization • Declining average carbon intensity of primary energy over time • Figure 2 -11 shows rate of 0. 3% per year decline • Global rate is decreasing but in some countries carbon intensity is increasing • Median scenarios indicate rate of 1. 1% • most intensive uses of fossil fuels lead to no reduction • Highest decarbonization rate of 2. 5% per year indicate complete transition to non fossil fuels Figure 2 -11: Global decarbonization of primary energy - historical development and future scenarios, shown as an index (1990 = 1). The median (50 th), 5 th, 25 th, 75 th and 95 th percentiles of the frequency distribution are shown. Statistics associated with scenarios from the literature do not imply probability of occurrence.

Global GHG’s • 25% burning of coal, natural gas, and oil • 21% Industrial – primarily from on site burning of fossil fuels for facilities energy • 14% transportation – 95% of energy used for transportation is petroleum based • 10% other energy - emissions from the energy sector not directly associated with electricity or heat production, such as fuel extraction, refining, processing • 6% buildings - on-site energy generation and burning fuels for heat in buildings or cooking in homes • 76% of GHG’s primarily from burning of fossil fuels
