*INFRASTRUCTURES: basic facilities, services & installations needed for the functioning of a society and its economy (transportation &
communications systems such as roads, bridges, tunnels, etc., water supply, sewer systems, power lines…)

7. INDUSTRY
 TRANSFORMS RAW MATERIALS INTO…
 MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS  for direct
consumption in the market.
 SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCTS  to be used in other
industrial processes.
Industry
requires 3
elements
ENERGY SOURCES
PRODUCTION
FACTORS:
- Labour force
(employees)
- Capital (buildings,
machinery, money…)
- Technology
(knowledge)
RAW MATERIALS

8. INDUSTRY
a) Core elements:
• Raw materials
• Energy sources (traditional
vs alternative). Energetic
problems and policies.
b) Industrial development:
• Artisanal industry
• Modern industry
• Contemporary industry
c) Industry and globalisation

9. a) CORE ELEMENTS OF INDUSTRY:
RAW MATERIALS
 RAW MATERIALS = Natural resources that industry transforms
into manufactured or semi-finished products.
RAWMATERIALS
PLANT-
SOURCED
From agriculture: sugar beets, cotton, linen, tobacco
From silviculture: wood, cellulose, rubber, cork…
ANIMAL-
SOURCED
From livestock farming: wool, hides (leather), silk…
From fishing: fish (for canning & oil production)
GEOLOGICAL
Minerals: metallic (iron, lead, aluminium, copper,
zinc…) & non-metallic (glass, gems…)
Rocks: granite, clay, limestone, marble,… (direct use
or to produce construction materials like cement)
Energy products from which energy is obtained:
coal, crude oil, natural gas, uranium…

10. RAW MATERIALS:
Production & trade
CONSUMPTION (demand): concentrated in
INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES
1) WESTERN EUROPE
2) JAPAN
3) USA
4) Emerging countries:
 CHINA
 INDIA

11. Look at the map…
 … is the distribution of minerals around the world equal?
 … which countries produce large quantities of minerals?

12. PRODUCTION: concentrated in just a few countries:
1) Canada
2) USA
3) Brazil
4) South Africa
5) Russia
6) China
7) Australia
RAW MATERIALS:
Production & trade

14. Do you know what
COLTAN is? What
is it used for?
Where does it come
from?

15.  COLTAN: essential mineral in modern technology (cell phones, laptops, cameras…)
 80% of World’s coltan  D.R.C. (Democratic Republic of Congo)
 D.R.C. / Uganda / Rwanda / different rebel paramilitary groups  WAR to
control the coltan mines.
 Consequences:
• Slavery, child-labour, violence, murder, violations,…
• 5 million deaths
• War refugees
• Destruction of rainforests & species (gorillas, elephants)
• Farms are abandoned
• Coltan contraband finances rebel paramilitary groups

16. RAW MATERIALS:
Contemporary problems
PROBLEMS RELATED TO
RAW MATERIALS
FOOD SHORTAGES &
HIGHER PRICES OF
FOOD
SCARCITY & UNEVEN
DISTRIBUTION OF
GEOLOGICAL RAW
MATERIALS
•Due to the higher demand of
agrarian products caused by
the increasing global
population.
•Worst impact on the poorest
•In order to ensure their supply,
wealthy countries try to control
the trade of certain raw
materials (oil, coltan…) with
producer countries.

WIND
SOLAR
GEOTHERMAL
WAVE
NUCLEAR FUSION
•60%  oil &
coal.

20. Traditional
energies

21. Traditional energies
• Most widely used.
• Mostly non-renewable (except hydroelectric)  they’ll be depleted.
• Nearly 80%  fossil fuels (oil + natural gas + coal)  however, there
are differences between countries.

22. • COAL  more widely used in developing countries (China)
than in developed ones (EU, USA).

23. • NON-RENEWABLE ENERGIES  are losing ground to renewable
energies, specially in developed countries.

24. • NON-RENEWABLE ENERGIES  are losing ground to renewable
energies, specially in developed countries.

26. CRUDE OIL

27. NATURAL GAS
PRODUCCIÓN
MUNDIAL DE GAS,
2006

28. COAL
Mostly used in emerging countries. Coal
consumption in developed countries is in
clear regression due to its HIGH
POLLUTION LEVELS (CO2 EMISSIONS)

29. NUCLEAR FISSION

30. HYDROELECTRIC
• Only traditional energy that is
RENEWABLE!!!
• Growing importance.

31. Alternative
energies

32. Alternative energies
ADVANTEGES: they are renewable & clean (they don’t pollute or
generate waste).
DISADVANTAGES: necessary technologies to develop them are
still too expensive.

33. However, in time renewable energies are expected
to became cheaper, while fossil fuels will became
more expensive.

34. Alternative energies development began after the
1973 Oil Crisis  NEED TO SEEK NEW ENERGY
SOURCES, TO AVOID EXTERNAL ENERGETIC
DEPENDENCE.

35. YOM KIPPUR WAR (6-25 Oct. 1973):
• Arab states (led by Egypt & Syria) VS Israel (who received help from the US).
• Egypt and Syria attacked Israel unexpectedly, since they wanted to regain the Sinai and
the Golan Heights respectively, territories that were occupied by Israel since the Six-
Day War (1967).
• CONSEQUENCE  in response to US support to Israel, the Arab members of the OPEC
(Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries), decided to reduce oil production
& declared an embargo against the USA and other Western countries, causing the 1973
energy crisis.

36. SOLAR

37. SOLAR

38. WIND
Problems:
• Irregular wind supply
• Visual & noise impact of
wind turbines.

39. BIOMASS

40. GEOTHERMAL

41. WAVE

42. NUCLEAR FUSION

could produce, by means of
nuclear fusion, in an hour,
11 times more energy than
by current nuclear fission.
ITER (International Thermonuclear
Experimental Reactor)
• International project to design & build an experimental fusion
reactor.
• Located in South France.
• 7 members: EU, India, Japan, China, Russia, South Korea & USA.

53. • The Kyoto Protocol: UN international treaty that
committed signatory countries to reduce greenhouse gases
emissions (CO2), to stop global warming. It was adopted in
Kyoto (Japan) in 1997.
• SPECIFIL GOAL: to reduce, in the period 2005 - 2012,
collective emissions of greenhouse gases by 5%
compared to the year 1990.
• 2012: technically the K.P. was extended until 2020, but
limited to only 15% of the global C02 emissions, due to the
lack of participation of many industrialized & emerging
countries such as: USA, Canada, Japan, Russia, Belarus,
Ukraine, New Zealand, China, India & Brazil.
• 2014: new negotiations were held in Lima (Peru) to agree
on a post-Kyoto legal framework that would obligate all
major polluters to pay for CO2 emissions. However, some
large polluting countries (China, India, USA) indicated that
they will not ratify any treaty that will commit them legally
to reduce CO2 emissions.

54. ACTIVITIES
 Indicate which energy sources do these countries produce:
 USA
 Canada
 Venezuela
