Energy and environment are essential for sustainable development

From 1980 to 2008 total world primary energy demand grew by 66% and by
2030 projected to grow by 40%
Over 70% of the increased energy demand is from Developing Countries, led by
China and India.
About 20% of worlds energy is generated from coal and about 60% from oil and
natural gas.
Because of extensive use of fossil fuel such as coal, oil and natural gas, the
harmful emissions of Green House Gasses such as Carbon Dioxide increases the
GHG level and causes the Greenhouse Effect and eventually global warming
India lacks in petroleum resources which needs precious foreign reserve.
Alternative Energy Paths .
The sunlight which reaches the earths surface can provide 7,900 times more
energy than we currently use. Each square meter of land is exposed to enough
sunlight to produce 1,700 kWh of power every year.
Renewable Energy comes from natural resources such as Sunlight, Wind, Ocean,
Rain, Tides, and Geothermal Heat, hydro power, hydrogen derived from
renewable resources . These are naturally replenished
As of 2010, about 16% of global final energy consumption comes from
renewable, with 10% coming from traditional biomass
New renewable (small hydro, modern biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, and
biofuels) accounted for another 2.8% and are growing very rapidly
Uses of Energy
1. Energy is a primary input in any industrial operation.
2. It is also a major input in sectors such as commerce, transport, tele-communications etc.
3. The wide range of services required in the household and industrial sectors.
4. Owing to the far-reaching changes in the forms of energy and their respective roles in
supporting human activities, research and training on various aspects of energy and environment
have assumed great significance.

Wind energy

Wind power is energy from turbines which create the electricity as the wind turns the blades. The wind
turbine is built to a certain specification in order to maximise the efficiency of the power generation.
Solar energy is described as energy garnered from the heat of the sun, but more specifically, it is
energy which is derived from physical reactions on photovoltaic cells of a solar panel as the radiated
energy strikes earth's atmosphere.

What is driving the increase in worldwide energy demand?

(1) Industrialization, especially in emerging markets. Businesses, and factories in particular, require
significant amounts of energy in the form of both electricity and petroleum-based fuels in order to operate. As
economies industrialize, energy demand increases.
(2) Increasing wealth in emerging markets, especially China and India.When economies grow, their energy
needs grow. Consumers want cars, air conditioners, refrigerators, and other energy hogs.
(3) Globalization. Transportation is Hipnoterapi Surabaya one of the largest consumers of energy in the world,
accounting for 58 percent of liquid fuel consumption in OECD countries in 2004. As we move more often, further,
and with greater speed, the energy we use in transportation will inevitably increase. Air travel in particular is a
heavy user of fuel.
(4.) Concerns over energy security. While energy demand is typically driven by short-term considerations (e.g.,
GDP growth, weather, transport needs), long-term concerns over energy security around the world have led to
what some might consider an irrational premium paid for energy assets. This is most apparent in the very
favorable deals struck by China with host governments in countries around the world to explore for oil & gas, one
of the contributing factors to the increasing premium paid per barrel of proven oil reserves in the oil exploration
and production industry.

How will we mitigate rising energy demands?

Energy efficiency will need to improve around the world, EIA

The worldwide increase in SAP Indonesia demand energy for energy has put ever-increasing pressure on
identifying and implementing ways to save energy. In fact, the world has consistently improved its energy
efficiency (in terms of energy required to produce one dollar of GDP). However, going forward the world will need
even more improved energy efficiency measures.
More efficient buildings -- Reflective roofing, better use of daylight, and other green-friendly and energy-friendly
improvements can drastically reduce energy demands from electricity-guzzling commercial buildings.
Light bulbs -- Seriously, this is one of the least cost, highest impact ways to save on energy bills. estimates that
each $2 spent on new compact flourescent lamps (CFLs) bulb can save more than $30 in power and
replacement costs. It helps that they last 10 times longer than standard bulbs.
Demand-side management (DSM) -- For years, utilities have been trying to convince their consumers to reduce
their power consumption during peak usage periods (think: 105-degree summer day in Phoenix). These efforts

fall under the general category of demand-side management. As electricity becomes more expensive, consumers
and utilities will have a mutual interest in finding new ways to manage demand for electricity so as to reduce the
cost to the end-user. For example, programs to turn off idle appliances, rather than let them "sleep" in low-power
mode, or to automatically turn off the heat or air conditioner during the wee hours of the night in corporate
headquarters.
Fuel efficiency -- Sure, everyone you know drives a Prius, but there are myriad other ways to improve fuel
efficiency. One of the most obvious involves ensuring proper inflation of one's tires. In fact, automobile
manufacturers are exploring electronic remote monitoring of tire pressure as one methods to ensure fuel
efficiency. Another method, less likely to win over road warrior Americans, is to limit frequent and intense stopping
and starting, the most fuel-intensive driving activities.
