5. Natural resources as raw material of energy
production
Water use in the energy generation process
Hydrocarbons: international market -- delivered
through maritime transportation
Energy generation produce pollution, by
definition
Climate changes due to increased energy
consumption
8. Energy is illumination, transportation,
production, health, education, economic
growth…
Directly related to economic and human
development worldwide.
Affects the sustainability of the natural
resources, the biodiversity and the future of
the human kind.
