- 6.4A: Consumption of energy
- Energy security means the uninterrupted supply of affordable energy
- Availability, accessibility, affordability, reliability
- Energy consumption usually has a close correlation with GDP
- The units of energy use is tonnes of oil equivalent per capita
- US has a GDP of $US50,000 per capita, and has one of the highest energy consumptions per capita in the world
- Energy consumption is greatest for NICs, whilst larger countries (think Scandinavian) are more sustainable + conscious of their consumption
- 75% of the world's energy is consumed in urban areas
- The units of energy use is tonnes of oil equivalent per capita
- Energy mix
- Combination of different available energy sources to meet a country's total energy demand
- Domestic/foreign
- Does a country import most of its energy, or does it produce its own?
- Primary/secondary
- Primary= natural sources such as coal, oil, gas
- Secondary=sources converted into other forms e.g. electricity
- Renewable/ unrenewable
- Globally, fossil fuels account for 80% of energy mix
- Relying only on fossil fuels is dangerous, as they will run out, but relying on renewables can be unreliable
- Globally, fossil fuels account for 80% of energy mix
- A rich energy mix is made up of foreign/domestic sources, and a diverse mix of renewable and unrenewable
- Energy security means the uninterrupted supply of affordable energy
