Exports and Imports • Oil • The fifth largest oil exporter in the world. • Exports over 2 million barrels per day. • Gas • The third largest exporter. • Over 100 billionscmexportedannually. • Hydro • Approximately 17 TWh. • Imports are insignificant compared to exports
Present situation of Hydro • Because of environmental conflicts it is hard to achieve acceptance for large scale hydropower. • Focus on improved use of already developed rivers. • Old plants may be replaced by more efficient plants. • The government has presented a strategy for development of Small hydro. • Important for energy supply. • Important for local development. • Secure income for farmers to maintain settlement patterns in rural areas. • International focus on renewable energy.
Resources and Usage • Hydro • Approximately 96% of all power production is hydropower. • Annual production: 124 TWh, annual variation +- 20% • Installed capacity: 29.600 MW, 1250 power plants. • Reservoir capacity: 83,4 TWh • Wind • 10 TWh licensed by the government. • 1,8 TWh developed or under construction. • 4,1 TWh appealed to the officials. • 4,1 TWh has a final license – ready for development.
Resources and Usage • Oil • The total oil resources are between 10,6 and 16,9 billion scm. • 7,1 billion scm has already been produced. • Over 2 million barrels per day produced • Russia 10,1 and Saudi-Arabia 9,8 • Gas • Over 4.000 billionscm of recoverable gas reserves • 2.000 billionscmtobediscovered. • 30% of all gas production in Western Europe. • The fifth largest producer in the world, but has only 1.6% of the world’s proven gas reserves. • Others • Solar, osmotic etc.
