Accessing energy resources in the arc of instability
Australia is currently 65% self-sufficient in oil production. Australian refineries import oil from a range of sources, including PNG, which is a substantial oil producer. Oil Search is Operator of oil projects in PNG. This paper concentrates on PNG rather than other countries in the arc of instability. To keep the industry healthy, PNG developers need to find more oil, to keep costs in check and ...

Energy security: the new cold war
In this speech, the then opposition minister for primary industries, resources and tourism discusses the possibility that a new Cold War has emerged in the competition over energy resources. He notes the importance of diversifying energy resources. He also stresses the need for careful consideration of whom Australia is supplying with uranium, suggesting using the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty ...

The use of renewable energy resources in Greece
Energy policy is a key issue for economic and environmental policies nowadays. Indeed, energy is an indispensable element for economic development while, on the other hand, it causes severe environmental problems. In this context, a force for utilising renewable energy resources and for energy saving has emerged and been expanded in the last years. As a result, the energy policy is reoriented ...

Renewable energy and energy-saving initiatives in Greece: policy and experience
Energy policy is a key issue for economic and environmental policies. Indeed, energy is an indispensable element for economic development while, on the other hand, it causes severe environmental problems. In this context, a pressure for using renewable energy resources and for energy saving has emerged and expanded in recent years. As a result, energy policy is being reoriented under the new ...

The regional analysis of energy consumption and energy resources in China
In recent years, issues relating to Chinese energy supply and consumption have drawn worldwide attention. The Chinese government maintains that the solution to energy demand issues should be resolved by improving domestic supply; but the regional availability of energy is irregular across China. The regional consumption and composition of energy supply are analysed in this paper and suggestions ...

Basic direction of energy saving policies in the Republic of Belarus
The distinctive particularity of the economy of the Republic at present is that the realisation of crisis-proof measures by the end of 1995 managed to stabilise the situation in the majority of sectors of industry, but as from 1996, the objective is to ensure a growing volume of production whilst reducing the consumption of energy resources. The guidelines for the law on energy saving and the ...

The role of regional cooperation in energy security: the case of the ASEAN+3
This article examines the energy profile of the ASEAN+3 countries in terms of energy availability, accessibility, acceptability and affordability. It proposes stronger regional cooperation through cross-border energy trade, investment in infrastructure and energy resource development, and information and technology sharing within the region as an effective solution to deal with the energy ...

Energy and the world: a physicist's view
The evolution of human societies depends upon the availability of energy resources. Since the word energy does not have the same meaning for physicists and the general public, this point is clarified first. Then, a selection of energy and societal problems are reviewed. Although energy per se does not drive society, it has played a major role in the successive industrial revolutions which have ...

Sectorial energy demands and MARKAL allocations of energy resources in India
Based on current energy consumption in various sectors, a Reference Energy System (RES) has been developed for the Indian energy scenario considering the efficiencies of use, conversion, transportation and distribution, etc. The data of past sectoral energy demand have been used to forecast future energy demands using appropriate regression models. These forecasts have been used as inputs for the ...

Prospects of nuclear energy in the 21st century in Southwest Asia: an assessment for Pakistan and Afghanistan
This paper presents a scenario of socio-economic development and the corresponding energy requirements of Pakistan for 2025, 2050 and 2100. It shows that even after large-scale development of indigenous energy resources, the energy import dependence increases. If access to advanced nuclear power reactors becomes available to Pakistan, then nuclear power can make a sizable contribution in meeting ...

Renewable energy in Armenia
Armenia does not have any fossil fuel or coal reserves; therefore, it is entirely dependent on the imported fuel for transportation, electricity generation, and heat production. Armenian Government has plans to develop renewable energy resources. Renewable energy may not be the major source of energy development in Armenia but it should be an important component of it. A renewable energy road ...

Hydrogen Market in APAC
Hydrogen as a clean and green energy resource has attracted extensive attention to hydrogen research and application worldwide. Recently, APAC’s countries, like Australia, Japan, Korea, China, have issued some new policies to support hydrogen development, and even some of those put the development of hydrogen energy at a strategic level. This report mainly introduces the development and ...

Environmental illusion in the depletion of common property resources
Energy use is characterised by the commons situation with respect to exhaustion of finite resources, the depletion rate decision for renewable resources, and the generation of pollution. Each of these can be collectively managed by norms or by institutional rules ('common property'), or users can remain uncoordinated ('open access'). This article analyses the former concept, common property, in a ...

World energy consumption and resources: an outlook for the rest of the century
Historical data on world energy consumption are discussed with reference to current data on energy resources and general correlations between per capita energy consumption in different countries and their level of social and economic development. A balanced scenario for the energy needs and primary resources consumption mix of the rest of the century is proposed and compared with proved and ...
