Primary energy demand

Primary energy demand by fuel type, as well as electricity (petajoules)

Primary energy demand is expected to increase significantly in the electricity generation and transport sectors.

Energy demand

We must reduce energy demand.

Energy Demand, Lifestyle Changes and Technology Development (1995)

In fact, demand for clean energy was exploding worldwide.

The growing demand for energy will require massive investment.

Primary energy for transport (per tonne km or passenger km)

Scenarios produced by entities such as the International Energy Agency, the World Energy Council and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) all suggest that renewable energy sources could provide a much greater share of global primary energy demand in the coming decades if the appropriate investment and incentive structures are put into place.

The energy system in Portugal has undergone major restructuring to meet increasing energy demand and increased dynamics in EU energy markets.

PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY PREVENTION IN DEMAND REDUCTION PROGRAMMES

The World Energy Council estimates that nearly two thirds of all primary energy is lost before it is converted to useful energy.

Primary energy per unit of production in the industrial and commercial sectors

In the same period, forest cover will decline by 7 per cent, per capita freshwater availability will decline by 20 per cent, and the demand for primary energy will go up by 50 per cent.

The introduction of natural gas in total primary energy supply in early 1997 with the entering into operation of the Algerian gas pipeline through Spain is expected to meet part of this energy demand growth, both for electricity supply and for industrial and residential end uses.

Governments must stimulate demand for more efficient and cleaner technologies, including technologies that tap renewable sources of energy, improve energy efficiency on the supply and demand sides and make cleaner use of fossil fuels.

The development of our own energy base is the primary prerequisite for our survival.

Urban transport policies focus on demand reduction, prioritizing public transport and reducing energy consumption.

Brazilian firms have been investing mostly in primary industries such as energy and mining, led by Petrobras in oil and energy (UNCTAD 2004a).

Former policy objectives such as energy security and energy supply diversification are giving way to EU wide energy supply and demand forces and becoming less dependent on strictly national circumstances.

During heavy training, the runner needs enough nutrition to meet the body's demand for energy.

With each doubling, demand for energy and resources will exceed all the previous doublings combined.

Most of the projects described are energy related, and include projects that install new renewable energy capacity, switch from high carbon to low carbon fuels, and promote energy efficiency improvements in both energy supply and demand.

About 80 per cent of world primary energy is supplied from fossil fuels, a finite resource.

The primary assumptions and methods used to estimate energy requirements in 2000 seem plausible and transparent.

The ever increasing global demand for energy and industrial goods and services represents a daunting challenge.

It is projected that world energy demand will continue to grow rapidly in the coming decades.

Additional reductions in energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions can be obtained with more ambitious policies.

Italy is heavily dependent on fossil fuels which account for 90 per cent of primary energy needs and also very dependent on imports, as over three quarters of primary energy, including oil, coal, natural gas and electricity, is currently imported.

NEW YORK The surest bet on the future of energy is the need for low carbon energy supplies. Around 80 of the world s primary energy today is carbon based coal, oil, and gas.

Energy end use in the residential, commercial and institutional as well as industrial and energy transformation sectors remained the primary target areas of CO2 mitigation measures.

Energy end use in the residential, commercial and institutional as well as industrial and energy transformation sectors remained the primary target areas for CO2 mitigation measures.

We believe that nuclear energy, when produced in accordance with safety and environmental procedures, can be a useful way of meeting the increasing energy demand worldwide.

The economic restructuring, as well as removal of subsidies and an increase in prices for imported energy to world market levels, have reduced primary energy consumption, and provided incentives for the introduction of new technology, energy efficiency and energy conservation measures.

Although CO2 mitigation is not the primary policy objective, these regulations affect the amount and share of fossil fuel consumption in primary energy transformation, which influences CO2 levels.

The sectors covered are energy (supply and demand), agriculture, land use change and forestry, and waste management.

For the energy sector, the common variables used to develop scenarios were population growth, demand, and GDP.

As a result, Europe will remain a net energy importer. And, given rising global demand for oil, particularly in developing countries, energy import prices will remain high.

The Government of Pakistan has launched a 25 year energy security plan to respond to that high growth rate and to meet the rising demand for energy.

Energy systems that can be adjusted relatively easily to changing market conditions might be the most cost effective approach to meeting energy demand in the present situation.
