  3. Global issues • Present  Population (2000) 6.2 billion.  Electricity installed capacity (2000) 3,000 GW.  Electricity consumption(2000)13 trillion kWh.  Primary energy (2000) 10 Gtoe.  2 billion No access to electricity .  50% of the worlds population exists on a few hundreds of kWh or less per person per year. • By 2050  Population 10 billion.  Estimated required capacity 10,000 GW.  Electricity consumption 60trillion kWh.  Primary energy 17 Gtoe. 3

  4. Environmental issues Local Environmental issues  Gas Emission.  Soil and Water Quality. Global Environment  Climate Change.  Acid Rain.  Ozone Depletion. 4

  5. Energy Conservation & Emission Reduction in Developing Countries • Public awareness. • Using efficient equipment. • R&D. • Using proper fuel. • Adapting regulation. • Apply proper techniques for energy saving. 5

  6. Energy Conservation Benefits Waste. Lifetime of Energy Sources. Quality of Environment, (CO2 ,NOx ,SOx ..etc) . Capital Costs. 6

  7. Energy in Saudi Arabia (2000) Energy Resources  Oil Reserves 262.8 bn bls. * Production 8.09 mbd.  Gas Reserves 222.5 trillion cf. * Production 3.4 bncfd. Domestic Consumption  Domestic Consumption 711.7 mboe. * Refined Products 416.3 mb. * Crude Oil 87.5 mb. * Natural Gas 207.85 mboe. Cont. 7

  8. Energy in Saudi Arabia (2000) Demand for energy has been increasing by an average 13% annually during the past decade.  Energy intensity 5.2 boe per $ 1000 GDP.  Per capita energy consumption 33 boe. Demand for Natural Gas for Power and Desalination growing by 7.3% annually.  Per capita gas consumption 180 cfd  Electricity use of Natural Gas 1.0 bncfd will increase to 3.4 bncfd in 2025. 8

  9. Development of Peak Load in Saudi Arabia MW 21451 848 Year 9

  10. Electricity Projections 10

  11. Investment Required for Electrical Power Sector (2000-2023) 11

  12. Restructuring of Electrical Power Sector in Saudi Arabia • Merging. Generation. • Unbundling Transmission. Distribution. • No Subsidy. • Commercial Operation. • Regulator. 12

  13. Some Efforts on Electricity Conservation in Saudi Arabia Legislation (thermal insulation … etc). Establishing codes of standards. The media. Lectures. Public Awareness Flyers. Symposia. Load control and tariff structuring. Result: In 2000, Saving 5.3 % of the peak load. 13

  14. Environment Protection in Saudi Arabia Establishing Meteorology and Environmental Protection Administration (MEPA). Using Natural Gas in power plants. R&D . Using unleaded gasoline. Reducing sulphur level in diesel. Encouraging energy saving. 14

  15. Energy Conservation: Socio Cultural issues Energy consumption Islam calls for conservation. Climatic conditions(high temp.). Standard of living. Tariff before 2000. Tariff after 2000. 15

  16. ConclusionsandRecommendations • Public awareness about Energy Conservation. • R & D in  Energy Conservation.  Gas & Oil.  Control & Reduce Emission. • Energy waste such as :  Equipment efficiency.  Using thermal insulation in buildings. • Using proper fuel. • Using appropriate technologies and energy sources. 16
