These measurements show concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO) at altitudes of 15,000 feet. Red colors in these images indicate highest levels of CO (450 parts per billion). Blue colors indicate lowest levels of CO (50 ppb). Terra detected strong sources of CO in Southeast Asia during April and May 2000. The air pollution plume from this region moves over the Pacific Ocean and reaches North America, frequently at fairly high concentrations. Scientists say that fires and possibly industrial sources are major contributors to these events. See animated pollution patterns at Source: http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov/gsfc/earth/terra/co.htm

• How can we provide the benefits of energy to the population of the globe without damaging the environment, negatively affecting social stability, or threatening the well-being of future generations?

• A clean, secure and sufficient supply of energy is simply essential for the future of our country. We need energy to heat and light our homes, to power our businesses and to transport people and goods. Without it, we could not function as an economy or modern society. But we now face two immense challenges as a country – energy security and climate change.

• Business has already found that it is possible to reduce emissions from its operations. Counterintuitively, BP found that it was able to reach its initial target of reducing emissions by 10 percent below its 1990 levels without cost. Indeed, the company added around $650 million of shareholder value, because the bulk of the reductions came from the elimination of leaks and waste. Other firms -- such as electricity generator Entergy, car manufacturer Toyota, and mining giant Rio Tinto -- are having similar experiences.

The Climate Savers Computing Initiative is setting a new 90 % efficiency target for power supplies, which if achieved, will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 54 million tons per year - and save more than $5.5 billion in energy costs."

Oil consumption growth in 2004 was the largest in volume terms since 1976. Consumption grew by almost 2 .5 million barrels per day (b/d), which is more than double the 10-year average rate.
Chinese oil consumption rose by nearly 900,000 b/d. But oil consumption growth was a global trend, with consumption in all regions rising above the 10-year average rate on the back of the world economy.

Reserves are those quantities of petroleum anticipated to be commercially recoverable by application of development projects to known accumulations under defined conditions. Reserves must satisfy four criteria:
•discovered through one or more exploratory wells •recoverable using existing technology •commercially viable •remaining in the ground
All reserve estimates involve uncertainty, depending on the amount of reliable geologic and engineering data available and the interpretation of those data.
Proved reserves are those reserves considered to have a reasonable certainty (normally at least 90% confidence) of being recoverable under existing economic and political conditions, and using existing technology. Industry specialists refer to this as P90 (i.e. having a 90% certainty of being produced). Proved reserves are also known in the industry as 1P
Proved reserves are the only type the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission allows oil companies to report to investors.
Probable reserves are based on median estimates, and indicate a 50% confidence level of recovery. Industry specialists refer to this as P50 (i.e. having a 50% certainty of being produced). Referred to in the industry as 2P (proved plus probable).
Possible reserves have a less likely chance of being recovered than probable reserves. This term is often used for reserves which have at least a 10% certainty of being produced (P10). Reasons for classifying reserves as possible include varying interpretations of geology, reserves not producible at commercial rates, uncertainty due to reserve infill, projected reserves based on future recovery methods. Referred to in the industry as 3P (proved plus probable plus possible).Unproved reserves are used internally by oil companies and government agencies for future planning purposes.
Curves represent categories of oil in assessment. There is a 95-percent chance (i.e., probability, F95) of at least volume V1 of economically recoverable oil, and there is a 5-percent chance (F05) of at least volume V2 of economically recoverable oil.

The Economist: Half of the world's population enjoys fuel subsidies. This estimate, from Morgan Stanley, implies that almost a quarter of the world's petrol is sold at less than the market price. U.S. Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman stated that around 30 million barrels per day (4,800,000 m³/d) of oil consumption (over a third of the global total) is subsidized.But energy analyst Jeff Vail warned that cutting subsidies would do little to reduce global prices.

Heating degree day (HDD) and cooling degree day (CDD) are quantitative indices demonstrated to reflect demand for energy to heat or cool houses and businesses. These indices are derived from daily temperature observations. HDD are calculated over a period of time by adding up the differences between each day's mean daily temperature and the "balance point" temperature (Tbase) of 18 °C, above which the building is assumed not to need any heating. The degree-day figure for a given month or week is the accumulated total of daily results over the period in question.
The daily result for HDD is selected from the following formulae:
Condition Formula used
Tmax<Tbase Dh=Tbase-(Tmax+Tmin)/2
Tmax>=Tbase Dh=(Tbase-Tmin)/2-(Tmax-Tbase)/4
(Tmax+Tmin)/2>Tbase Dh=(Tbase-Tmin)/4
Tmin>Tbase Dh=0
The daily result for CDD is selected from the following formulae:
Condition Formula used
Tmin>Tbase Dc=(Tmax+Tmin)/2-Tbase
Tmin<=Tbase Dc=(Tmax-Tbase)/2-(Tbase-Tmin)/4
(Tmax+Tmin)/2<Tbase Dc=(Tmax-Tbase)/4
Tmax<Tbase Dc=0

How to think on energy & environment?
Júlia Seixas & J. Joanaz Melo, 2006 FCT | UNL 36
Acid Rain
Rain water is naturally acidic, because carbon dioxide in the atmosphere combines with water molecules to form carbonic acid. Acidic precipitation or acid deposition occurs when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere react with oxygen in the air to form sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and nitric acid (HNO), which falls to the surface as rain, snow, or dust. To be considered acid precipitation, the precipitation has to have a pH of 5.0 or lower.

Science, Oct 18, 2004: “if current melting rate continues, the last ice atop the 19,300-foot African mountain could disappear between 2015 and 2020”
Climate archive disappearing with the snows of Kilimanjaro
Thompson's research is finding that the Earth is heating up and the warming is taking its toll on the ice. The glaciers - including the snows of Kilimanjaro - are retreating. And when they melt, the archive is gone. "Something that's really striking about the late 20th century is the scale at which the retreat has taken place," Thompson said.

Júlia Seixas & J. Joanaz Melo, 2006 FCT | UNL 48
The Challenge
If we have to change our energy technologies over a relatively short period of time, where are the best alternatives?
How should we invest in developing better alternatives?
What are the drivers that will encourage timely development and market penetration of these technologies?
Do we also have to change behaviors (and values)?
Are (public) policies appropriate to tackle the challenge?
4. Thoughts and questions
What can we do?In choosing careers?
In our professional lives? As private | national | global citizens?
How much are we willing to do?
