Energy At The Crossroads Global Perspectives And Uncertainties Mit Press Vaclav Smil by Vaclav Smil B007W4FXJU instant download after payment.

During the first two decades of the twenty-first century the long-established

energy sources and conversion techniques will continue to dominate the markets.

Coal will remain a key fuel for thermal generation of electricity and large plants

will carry the bulk of the global base-load. Hydrocarbons will keep providing

more than half of the global TPES, with a great deal of effort and investment

going into further development of conventional resources that are either remote

or difficult to access (or both) and with increasing attention paid to

nonconventional deposits and to enhanced rates of recovery. There is nothing

inevitable about the global output of conventional oil peaking before the year

2010 or shortly afterwards. Oil era’s duration may be determined more by the

demand for the fuel than by its availability. In any case, an early peak of oil

extraction should be no reason for panic or regrets, and it would be unlikely to

lead to such desperate technical fixes as large-scale coal liquefaction and

extraction of oil shales. Natural gas, more efficient conversions and nonfossil

sources will ease the transition.
