"Unless we make decisions now our electricity will start to run out within five years." Professor Ian Fells, World Energy Council
"This is a very, very difficult problem to solve, and we just have never attempted to solve a problem of this magnitude in this world ever before."Kelvin Beer, Gas Strategist, Deloitte Petroleum Services
"Britain's homes could be without light and heat for long periods by 2020”
A vision of Britain in 2020, Guardian, 1 July 2003
Energy flows from many sources, exists in a variety of interchangeable forms, and drives all systems
Energy is fundamental to the quality of our lives
Energy is a key ingredient in all sectors of modern economies
The US economy had the energy bill of 1 trillion in year 2007
Pakistan had the oil import bill of $3.5 billion in the first 7 months of 2006. 65% greater than the last year
An energy crisis is any great bottleneck (or price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy
It usually refers to the shortage of oil and additionally to electricity or other natural resources.
a situation marked by disruption in oil supplies resulting in increases energy prices that threatens economic and national security
1973 Oil Crisis
Oil export embargo by Arab states
The price of oil quadrupled by 1974 to nearly US$12 per barrel
A National Maximum Speed Limit of 55 mph
Japan shifted its focus from oil intensive industries to electronics
Pro Arab approach of Western Europe and Japanese Governments
Introduction of medium size hatchbacks-Fiat Ritmo, Ford Escort MK3, Renault 14, Volkswagen Golf
1979 Oil Crisis
Occurred in US due to Iranian Revolution
Oil Price increased to $39.5 /barrel from $15.85
Long lines at gas stations-an estimated 150, 000 barrels/day
Solar panel of White House
Coupons for gasoline rationing
Poor sales of Sedans and RWD vehicles
1990 spike in the prices of the oil-Gulf War
Resulted due to the 1st Gulf War
Mild than the previous crisis
OPEC increased the output to tackle crisis
Oil price hit record $42 per barrel
The 2000-2001 California electricity crisis
Resulted due to the manipulation by electricity producers Enron & Reliant energy
Combination of extremely high prices and rolling blackouts
Downsizing by the retail companies
State intervened into the deregulated energy market to save the consumer
Peak Oil-the point or timeframe at which the maximum global petroleum production rate is reached
Oil production follows a bell curve
Plentiful oil at the peak of the curve, scarce and expensive at the down
Peak- the point of 50% endowment of oil
2005- the year of peak oil
Worldwide Oil Production in 2030 would be same as in 1980 BUT not the consumption
the issue is not of “running out” but of “not having enough”
Shortfall in oil supply of 10% is enough to shatter an oil dependent economy
The coming shocks in oil demand/supply won’t be short-lived
Peak Oil applies globally but timings differ
Country Year of Peak Oil
Country Year of Peak Oil
Australia 2004 Libya 1970
Canada 1973 Mexico 2003
China 2005 New Zealand 1997
France 1988 Nigeria 1979
Germany 1966 Norway 2000
India 1997 Russia 1987
Austria 2001 Trinidad 1981
Iran 1974 Venezuela 1970
Indonesia 1993 UK 1990
Japan 1932 USA 1970
The effect of decrease in production can be devastating
3% decline in oil production predicted by Dick Cheney, CEO of Halliburton
Andrew Gould, CEO Schlumberger, predicted the decline of 8% a year
1973- the production drop of 5% caused the price to soar by 400%
An overall decline of 50% is expected over the next 9 years
Above given two points have a message for all of us….THINK!!!!!!!!
Are we heading towards a
“post industrial stone age”…???
"Big deal. If gas prices get high, I’ll just drive less. Why should I give a damn?“
petrochemicals are key components to much more than just the gas in your car
The construction of a Camry at TOYOTA consumes 20 barrel of oil, an amount twice to its weight
Average car consumes during its construction 10% of the energy used during its lifetime
“All forms of modern technologies are not petroleum products”
Modern Medicine, Water Distribution is powered on oil
In US, approximately 10 calories of fossil fuels are required to produce every 1 calorie of food
Pesticides are made from OilFertilizers are made from ammonia, an
fossil extract
All farming implements such as tractors are constructed and powered using oil
Oil storage systems such as refrigerators are made in oil powered plants and run on electricity
The production of one pair of regular cotton jeans at LEVI’S takes three quarters of a pound of fertilizers and pesticides
“we people gobble oil like two legged SUVs”
Microchipsthe construction of single 32 megabyte DRAM
chip requires 3.5 pounds of fossil fuels “the DAEWOO plant has the capacity
of the production of 20 million such chips in a year”
The construction of a desktop consumes 10 times oil than its weight
The worldwide banking system stands on the availability of cheap oil
“its not physics but reality that money equals energy”
Real usable wealth represents usable energyReal costs represents the energy cost of
doing somethingReal value represents energy cost of building
something
“The scene is set for the Second Great Depression”
“the world's wealth may soon evaporate as we enter a technological and economic "Dark Age.“
London Times, October 2005
“The Government has admitted that companies across Britain might be forced to close this winter because of fuel shortages. “
The Daily Telegraph, April 2007
“the consequences would be unimaginable. Permanent fuel shortages would tip the world into a generations-long economic depression. Millions would lose their jobs as industry implodes. Farm tractors would be idled for lack of fuel, triggering massive famines. Energy wars would flare. And carless suburbanites would trudge to their nearest big box stores, not to buy Chinese made clothing transported cheaply across the globe, but to scavenge glass and copper wire from abandoned buildings”
Chicago Tribune, July 2006
"The price of houses will collapse. Stock markets will crash. Within a short period, human wealth -- little more than a pile of paper at the best of times, even with the confidence about the future high among traders -- will shrivel."
Jonathon Gatehouse, Oxford Geologist
“A Pakistan with serious energy shortages will not be a pleasant Pakistan”-Robert M Hathaway, director of the Asia Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars in Washington.
Governmental figures:By 2015 energy demand in Pakistan will be
nearly 22 percent greater than projected supply
By 2030, this energy shortfall will be 64 percent.
Today, oil and natural gas supply nearly 80 percent of Pakistan’s energy needs.
Pakistan currently produces less than 20 percent of the oil it consumes. This fosters a dependency on imported oil that places considerable strain on the country’s finances.
Gas needs not nearly as critical, Pakistan’s projected natural gas needs are expected almost to double (from 2004 levels) by 2010.
Hydropower and coal are under-utilized
Coal energy mix from 7 to 18 percent by 2018 — a course that may make sense from an energy standpoint, but which carries troubling environmental implications.
Provincial rivalries and widespread public opposition have significantly slowed the government’s plans to build dams capable of generating electricity.
Nuclear power at this point accounts for barely one percent of Pakistan’s energy consumption.
Pakistan’s renewable energy potential — hydro, wind, and solar — is substantial, although presently this potential remains largely untapped.
“I don’t think there is one. The solution is to pray. Under the best of circumstances, if all prayers are answered there will be no crisis for maybe two years. After that it’s a certainty.”
President Bush Energy Advisor, Mathew Simmons
Disaster Management StrategiesUS Govt. Building camps for “emergency
influx of immigrants““Police-state style legislation”"war games on the grandest scale" by
Pentagon to simulate how billions of people will react to food and fuel shortages
UK Register, June 2007
Oil SectorNo refinery built after 1976
Oil giants are not investing much in their business as there is going to be less and less oil to refine
Mergers and Stock Buy Backs by the giants like Exxon Mobile & Chevron
Oil companies de-marketing the concept of “peak oil”
Over estimated reserves-Shell fined $500 million
Fuel efficient Automobile IndustryFuel efficient vehicles-Toyota Prius, Hybrid
SUVs by Ford, Hybrid Trucks by GEGovernment subsidies to the producers of
Hybrid VehiclesPenalties on vehicles with low mileage-
subsidies on vehicles with better mileagesEncourage the public transportation “STOP LEASING!!!!”
Alternative Fuels
Redouble the commitment to energy efficiency
“Come On-Don’t be FUELISH”
DuPont saved $ 2 billion in energy cost by energy efficiency
DOW Chemical800 million BTUs per day
Selling the stocks , bonds and mutual funds before the stock crash
Buy physical precious metals gold and silver and take delivery in your home or to a privately owned security lock box
Buy energy futures to hedge against the price hikes
1. Convert to organic agriculture and grow as much of our food locally as possible
2. Relocalize daily living, work and commerce
3. Vastly expand public transportation4. Convert to non-polluting, renewable
energy sources5. Seek to stabilize and then gradually
reduce world population growth rate6. Vastly increase the efficiency of industry
