5 of 22
Used to drive a range of equipment such as telecommunications, motors and lighting
Electricity
6 of 22
Resources that are reformed relatively quickly
Renewable resources
7 of 22
Home heating and lighting, cooking, transport, TV, DIY electric tools
Direct uses
8 of 22
Transport of goods, manufacturing, water treatment, energy losses in electricity generation and energy used in agriculture
Indirect uses
9 of 22
People with more money can afford to use more energy, more money is used to make a house in an MEDC than an LEDC, supply and demand sets the prices of energy resources on the world market, energy shortages make life more difficult
Affluence
10 of 22
Petrol is cheaper in the USA than the UK , people with high personal incomes spend less of their income on energy than a low income, low energy conservation if it is cheap
Relative cost of energy
11 of 22
Industrialised countries use energy for processing and transport, people working in industry use more energy at work than working in agriculture
Level of industry
12 of 22
Heavy industry uses the most energy as aluminium is an energy-expensive metal to extract, nitrate fertiliser manufacture uses the Haber process and uses lots of energy, light manufacturing uses little energy
Type of industry
13 of 22
Scandinavian countries suffer from energy shortages so energy is used carefully, in the UK, abundant coal has developed the society that started the industrial revolution however energy is used wastefully
Social and environmental awareness
14 of 22
Areas with cold winters and needs more heating and hot countries need more cooling, windy weather increases heat loss and sunny weather increases gains in passive solar heating
Climate
15 of 22
Fuel for machinery, manufacture of fertilisers, food processing, transport of luxury foods and storage
Agriculture and fisheries
16 of 22
Transport of goods, machinery operation, heat to melt materials for moulding and casting, energy to cause chemical reactions, heat for drying and distillation
