World Energy Resources To catalyze the potential of

World Energy Resources • To catalyze the potential of renewable energy sources into production line power requires two basic physical ingredients: – The raw resource – Infrastructure to export the resource as electricity

Renewable Potential is Variable

Survey of Energy Resources 2004 Hydropower: Usage/Potential (2002)

Conclusions • No shortage of global energy resources • R/P ratio for fossil fuels: – Oil 40 years – Natural Gas 60 years – Coal 200 years • Uneven distribution of strategic resources around the world • Consumption areas do not all coincide with production areas • Environmental issues/rules will play a strategic role in sustainable development • Substantial increase of non-hydro renewables, but total share only some 5% in 2030 (with wind and bioenergy the leading players)
