  1. Peak Oil The Forward End of the Curve Presentation to the City of Madison April 10, 2006 By Mark Daugherty Focus On Energy Renewable Energy Business Development This presentation is funded in part by Focus on Energy.

  2. Oil and Gas Supply

  3. Global oil discoveries are following a typical bell shaped curve. 2003 first year since 1920s no single discovery > 500 million barrels. (No single field found large enough to meet demand for 1 week.)* Note: Global data shown here is reported by ExxonMobil, it is consistent with many others. See: Harry J. Longwell, executive VP of Exxon-Mobil corporation, http://www.energybulletin.net/primer.php, http://www.feasta.org/documents/wells/contents.html?one/longwell.html and C.J.Campbell, ASPO http://www.peakoil.net/, http://www.peakoil.ie/downloads/newsletters/newsletter35_200311.pdf * IHS Consultants at http://www.ihsenergy.com/

  4. Global conventional oil production peak estimated in 2006 to 2008 timeframe. Data Forecast From the Association for the Study of Peak Oil (ASPO) 2004 See also: Global Oil and Gas Depletion: an Overview, R.W. Bently, Energy Policy 30 (2002) 189-205.

  6. Natural Gas : US, Canada & Mexico Discoveries and Production Discovery curve shifted 23 years. V1 V2 V1 = V2 See: http://www.peakoil.net/JL/JeanL.html

  7. In 2002 Oil and Gas made up 62% of global primary energy supply. Source International Energy Agency (IEA) http://www.iea.org/statist/index.htm

  8. What about non - conventional fossil fuel supplies? • Technologies include: tar sands, oil shale, heavy oil, gas to liquids technology • Like trying to drink through a smaller and smaller straw. • Lower energy return, Extensive environmental damage. • Strip mining + heating or steam injection. • 1.5-2 tons material processed per barrel of oil. • Bottom line: higher cost, smaller volume ~ 10 times current global coal mining required to meet present oil needs with tar sands or oil shale.

  12. Burning fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change. Minimum Artic Ice 1979 Minimum Artic Ice 2005 Ice ~ 43% thinner in 1996 than in 1976 Inage: MSNBC, Associated Press, Sept. 29, 2005 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9527485/ Thinning: Professor Peter Wadhams, Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge, UK, BBC news, Wednesday, 27 March, 2002 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/1894740.stm

  13. Antartica - Collapse of Larsen B Ice Shelf 31 January, 2002 5 March, 2002 • 3,250 km2 of shelf area disintegrated. • Glacier speeds increased ~ 250% after collapse. National Snow and Ice Data Center http://nsidc.org/iceshelves/larsenb2002/ http://nsidc.org/news/press/20031219_speed_up.html

Alley, U. of Pennsylvania, Cited by John P.

  17. Three options to meet demand for carbon-neutral energy • Fossil fuel with carbon sequestration • 25 billion metric tons of CO2 produced annually • Equal to the volume of Lake Superior • 1% leak rate would nullify sequestration in a century • Nuclear power • 10 TW of nuclear power = a new 1-GWe plant every 2 days for the next 50 years. • Then terrestrial uranium exhausted in 10 years. • Renewable energy • Exploitable hydroelectric < 0.5 TW • Tides and ocean currents < 2 TW • Geothermal energy << 12 TW • Wind potential ~ 2-4 TW • Solar ~120,000 TW strikes the Earth • 10% efficient solar energy “farm” covering 1.6% of the U.S. land area would meet the country’s entire domestic energy needs (2005 Global Consumption ~ 14 TW) • Comparable with the land area covered by the nation’s federally numbered highways.

  18. Possible Cumulative Global Supply with Coal Restriction For background data see: http://www.eia.doe.gov/, http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/international/gas.html, http://www.eia.doe.gov/neic/infosheets/coalreserves.htm, http://www.iea.org/, http://www.euronuclear.org/info/encyclopedia/u/uranium-reserves.htm, http://www.peakoil.net/

  19. It will be difficult to meet current energy demand growth indefinitely. Demand at 1.8%/yr growth Total energy supply from previous slide.

  20. Effort is required on 2 fronts • Reduce energy consumption growth • Use efficiency and conservation • Economic growth still possible • Develop non-fossil fuel supplies • Solar electric, wind, solar thermal, biomass • Grid, storage, forecasting and control optimized for non-fossil fuel supply utilization.

  21. Front 1:Increasing efficiency and conservation by 1.8% per yr Stabilize demand growth. Allow economic growth. Demand at 1.8%/yr growth Efficiency and conservation Stable demand Supply

  22. Front 2:Increase renewable energy supply Renewable energy supply Conventional Supply

  23. Current renewable energy growth rates exceed those required to transition to a fully renewable energy supply. • 2004 investment in renewables ~ US $30 billion • Investment in entire power generation sector ~ $150 billion • Renewable energy capacity to 160 GW ~ 4% of global power.  http://www.ren21.net/globalstatusreport/RE2005_Global_Status_Report.pdf http://www.earthscan.co.uk/news/article/mps/uan/508/v/3/sp/ IEA: http://www.oja-services.nl/iea-pvps/ AWEA: http://www.awea.org/pubs/documents/globalmarket2003.pdf

  24. How should we invest the remaining fossil energy? Electrical Generation Liquid Fuel Production Output Input Energy Input Energy Output Coal Ethanol Nat. Gas Bio Diesel Solar (PV) (30 to 80 depending on site and technology) Wind Note: Coal and Natural Gas energy output limited to combustion efficiency at a maximum. Fuel supply, plant construction and decommissioning, and O&M energy uses reduce output below combustion efficiency. Solar, wind and bio can have terrestrial energy output greater than one since they are accessing solar energy entering the terrestrial system from the sun. See: http://www.awea.org/faq/bal.html, http://www.ecotopia.com/apollo2/knapp/PVEPBTPaper.pdf

  25. What might a Wisconsin Renewable energy supply look like? Notes: This is a rough estimate, only intended to show magnitudes. Wisconsin current electrical generation capacity ~12,000 MW. Wind is not necessarily all located in Wisconsin. Wind at 27% capacity factor. Solar at 1250 kWh/yr per rated kW output.
