  2. Definitions Sustainable Energy ≡ Meets the work needs of the current population without compromising the ability of generations to meet their work Sustainable ≡ Meets the needs of the current users without compromising the ability of future users to meet their needs. Energy ≡ Ability to do work

  6. 1st Law of Thermodynamics: You can’t win. 2nd Law of Thermodynamics: You can’t break even.

  7. Energy “Sources” • Solar • solar thermal • photovoltaic (PV) • wind • water • biomass Nuclear • Fossil Solar • coal • oil • natural gas (NG) Energy Carriers • Fuels • oil • diesel • gasoline • EtOH Coal Electrical H2 NG LNG How do we extract work from these carriers?

  8. Ken Hammond Professor of Pyschology Shouldn’t facts dictate society’s behavior?

  9. Demand for Power Supply of Energy Sources Environmental Impacts Economics Population Growth Is our current Energy System sustainable? Today Thursday in class Video homework Actual Behavior Next week Reading homework

  10. 4 x 107 barrels of volume Quadrillion = 1 x 1015 Barrel of oil = 42 gal = 5.8 x 106 BTU Yearly US energy consumption is the equivalent of ~2,500 Folsom Stadiums full of oil.

  11. Energy Intensity

  12. Carbon Trading Game CH4 + 2O2 —› 2H2O + CO2 Goal: Make the most money Players: Each of you is country How do you make (or lose) money? Buy or Sell …. Oil, Coal, Natural Gas, Uranium, Electricity, Certified Energy Reductions (CERs)

  13. Rules • You must supply your citizens with enough energy to meet their demands. If you don’t you will be fined (or overthrown). • You cannot sell a thing if you do not have it. In other words, if you don’t have coal reserves in your country, you can’t sell coal. • You must meet the carbon dioxide emissions reductions prescribed for your country. If you don’t you will be fined. • All transactions must be reasonable or the UN will not give their stamp of approval.

  14. Generation of a CER • GNP – generation of carbon neutral power production • SNK – creation of new carbon sink. • EFF – improvement of efficiency of existing carbon-based power generation system • SEQ – tail-pipe controls If you cannot meet your citizens’ power needs and the prescribed CO2 emissions reductions, then you will need to buy CERs from other countries. You might find it cheaper to buy a CER than to reduce your CO2 emissions.

  16. Republic of Angola Government: multi-party presidential regime Current Leader: Jose Eduardo Dos Santos (1975) (Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola) Administrative divisions: 18 provinces Independence: From Portugal in 1975 Legal system: Based on Portuguese civil law Land Use: Arable, 2.65% Permanent crops, 0.23%

  17. Energy Intensity decreases are correlated with GDP per capita growth
