World energy supply and demand
![Page 3: Energy supply](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812bd4550346895d9038f3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Energy sources Almost all the energy we use originates
from the sun. The energy reaches us on earth via
radiation. The only energy sources that are not
connected to the sun are:- Nuclear power.- Earth heat.

Bio-fuels Fuel that comes from living organisms. Firewood, charcoal, peat, halm, energy
grass.
PROS CONS
• Easy to use and get • Deforestation
• No special equipment needed
• Land erosion
• Cheap • Desertification
• Greenhouse effect

Hydropower To be able to use water as power source,
inland waters have to be large enough and landscape have to be hilly.
Hydropower plants produce about 24 % of the world's electricity.
PROS CONS
• Renewable energy source
• Affects the eco-system negatively
• Sustainable • Conflicts of interest about who ”owns” water
• Cheap to build
• Clean/no pollution

Oil Biggest energy source in the world. Produces about 35 % of energy in the
world. Raw material for petrol, lighter fluid,
kerosene and plastics.PROS CONS
• Many possible uses. • Oil spills during extraction or transport.
• Easy to transport. • Carbon dioxide emissions• Easy to store.
• Political power tool.

Gas Used to make electricity, as fuel for
buses, and as industrial energy source. Gas reserves will run out in 60 years.
PROS CONS
• Cleanest fossil fuel, producing less carbon dioxide than oil and coal.
• Gas = inflammable Risky transport.
• Political conflicts about pipelines.

Coal Second biggest energy source
in the world. Coal reserves will run out in a couple of
hundreds of years.
PROS CONS
• Cheap. • Coal dust & ashes pollute the air.
• Easy to extract. • Produces carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide & different heavy metals.
• Easy to store and transport.

Nuclear power In 2012, there were 439 nuclear power
plants in operation in the world. New power plants built in Asia. In Europe and Asia opposite trend.
PROS CONS
• Cheap energy. • Nuclear fuel is dangerous.
• Relatively safe for the environment.
• Danger of nuclear meltdown.
• Nuclear waste is radioactive.

Wind power In 2010 wind energy production counted
for about 2.5% of total worldwide electricity. PROS CONS
• Wind power is totally renewable.
• Wind does not blow consistently or steadily.
• Low ongoing costs. • Noisy.
• Emits no air pollution. • Visual pollution.

Wave energy Making use of the motion energy from
waves. Wave farms
PROS CONS
• Renewable energy source.
• Impact on commercial fishing.
• No air pollution. • Noise pollution.
• Navigation hazards.
