Energy Issues
Types of energy
Non-renewable energy resources
Resources that have been built up, or evolved over time.
Also known as stock resources
These types of energy resources have a 'reserve' and cannot be used without depleting the stock, due to formation being slow
Examples of this type of energy include
Oil
Coal
Gas
Renewable energy resources
Also known as flow/stock resources
Resources that have a natural rate of avalibility
These sources of energy yield a continuous flow, that can be consumed at anytime
Renewable energy are spilt into 2 different areas
Critical
Sustainable energy resources which require management.
e.g. Forests, plants, animal waste
Non-critical
Everlasting resources
e.g. Tides, Waves, Wind, Solar energy
Energy Demands
Shell's future plans
Annotations:

By 2050 energy demand is expected to double
Worlds Energy Mix
Link to interactive map, on the worlds energy mix as well as Europe's energy usage
Annotations:
http://environment.nationalgeographic.com/environment/energy/great-energy-challenge/world-electricity-mix/ - Global energy mix
http://energy.publicdata.eu/ee/vis.html - Europes energy usage
Currently, all the fossil fuels being used means that there is a lot of CO2 emmisons
Annotations:
http://environment.nationalgeographic.com/environment/energy/great-energy-challenge/global-footprints/
Countries gather their energy from a variety of sources, as one source may not be able to supply their energy needs
Currently the global energy mix means that 87% of energy resources come from fossil fuels
In the UKs the energy mix:
70% is made of fossil fuels
Renewable energy is still below the UK average of 6%
Coal use has fallen by 40%
Most likely caused by coal mines closing in the 1980s
