  1. Brief General Energy & Environmental Overview Tim Carr Kansas Geological Survey - KU Richard Nelson Engineering Extension – KSU

  2. World & National Energy Issues – Quick Overview • World Energy Supply & Demand – Total & Regional • Total world energy consumption expected to increase 57% by 2025 – 40% in US. • China’s economic growth is expected to be the highest in the world and have the world’s largest economy.

  3. The Environmental Impact Factor I = P * C * TF Environmental Impact, I = Population, P * Consumption, C * Technology & Fuel, TF

  4. Coal - abundant resource, but potentially huge environmental consequences Petroleum - only viable liquid fuel, but potential resource problems and a contributor to GHG emissions Nuclear - waste disposal problems (?), potential proliferation aspects, but no real unsolvable environmental problems Renewables - diffuse, intermittent, costly (?), but sustainable and “environmentally-friendly” and a means for climate change management The Environmental Impact Factor Coal is the most abundant fuel – also most carbon intensive! Clean energy, but somewhat intermittent delivery

  5. Improve total system efficiency with respect to all energy resources Consider the “Total Picture” Resource Allocation (fossil fuels and renewables) Efficient Energy Use (efficiency and conservation) Effect on Environment (air, soil, and water quality) Development and Implementation of Alternative Energy Sources and Technologies Economics (true cost and life-cycle accounting)

  6. Where Energy Comes From

  7. Overview The Challenge • Energy Today - 214 MMBOE/D • US 45.6 MMBOE/Day • Energy 2025 - 300 MMBOE/D • US 60.2 MMBOE/Day • Energy – Basis for Civilization • The Resource Is Adequate China Oil Consumption is forecasted to increase 15% in 2004 OECD Oil Consumption is forecasted to increase 1% in 2004

  8. Humanity’s Top Ten ProblemsNext 50 Years Richard Smalley, 2003 (1996 Noble Laureate in Chemistry) • ENERGY • WATER • FOOD • ENVIRONMENT • POVERTY • TERRORISM & WAR • DISEASE • EDUCATION • DEMOCRACY • POPULATION 2003 6.3 Billion People 2050 8-10 Billion People

  9. World Energy GDP vs. Energy Consumption 14,000 UAE 12,000 10,000 Kuwait Iceland United States 8,000 Canada Singapore Energy Consumption (thousand metric toe per capita) Finland Trinidad & Tobago Sweden 6,000 Norway Australia Saudi Arabia Belgium Mozambique Netherlands New Zealand Germany France Russia Czech S. Korea Japan 4,000 UK Switzerland Estonia Slovakia Ireland Turkmenistan Israel Slovenia Austria Oman Denmark Greece Spain Italy 2,000 Portugal Argentina China Chile Uruguay 0 0 5,000 10,000 15,000 20,000 25,000 30,000 GDP per capita (million Int. $ at PPP)

  10. US Energy Efficiency

  11. Energy Today – 214 MMBOE/Day US 45.6 Million BOE/Day Energy 2025 – 300 MMBOE/Day US 64.3 MMBOE/Day Growth 18.29 Million BOE/Day Over the next 25 years Portfolio of Energy Options Technically Sound Economically Sustainable Significant in Size Minimize Environmental Impact Need for Investment Technology Education People The Need for Action Today, 1.6 billion people –one quarter of the world population have no access to electricity. In 2030, 1.4 billion people 17% of the world population will still not have electricity. 2.4 billion people rely on traditional biomass – wood, agricultural residues and dung – for cooking and heating.
