 Energy Development (from Wikipedia)
• the field of activities focused on obtaining sources of energy from natural r
esources.
• Societies use energy for transportation, manufacturing, illumination, heating
and air conditioning, and communication, for industrial, commercial, and do
mestic purposes.

• The conventional industry comprises the petroleum industry, the natural gas

industry, the electrical power industry, and the nuclear industry. New energy
industries include the renewable energy industry, comprising alternative and
sustainable manufacture, distribution, and sale of alternative fuels.
 Classification of Resources (from Wikipedia)
• classified as primary resources, suitable for end use without conversion to another
form, or secondary resources, where the usable form of energy required substantia
l conversion from a primary source.
• Ex) primary energy resources are wind power, solar power, wood fuel, fossil fuels s
uch as coal, oil and natural gas, and uranium. Secondary resources are those such
as electricity, hydrogen, or other synthetic fuels.
• three main types of fossil fuels: coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Another fossil fue
l, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
• Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources
• In 2005, 81% of the world's energy needs was met from fossil sources.
• Nuclear power plants provided about 5.7% of the world's energy and 13% of the w
orld's electricity in 2012.
 Classification of Resources (from Wikipedia)

• Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that comes fro

m resources which are naturally replenished on a human timesca
le such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat.
• About 16% of global final energy consumption presently comes f
rom renewable resources, with 10% [72] of all energy from traditio
nal biomass, mainly used for heating, and 3.4% from 
hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro, modern biomass,
wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels) account for another 3% an
d are growing rapidly.
• at least 30 nations around the world already have renewable ene
rgy contributing more than 20% of energy supply.
