energy crisis in the pjilippines and the world

1. ENERGY CRISIS

2. What is Energy Crisis?
◦ The energy crisis stems from the foreseeable end of the cycle of
oil, gas and coal, which, in addition, have been producing a
considerable increase in greenhouse gases (GHG)
◦ In recent years, many scientists have raised their voice to warn about climate
change, caused notably by the burning of oil and coal in order to produce
energy

3. Energy Crisis Causes
◦Global energy consumption is increasing and we will
face a shortage of fossil fuels in the coming decades.
Therefore, the availability of reserves is an important
source of concern.

4. A. OVERCONSUMPTION
◦ Our current consumption model relies almost entirely on the
use of non-renewable energy sources such as oil, gas, coal
and uranium. At the current rate of consumption, oil will be
the first fossil fuel to run out. According to projections, there
would be between 40 and 60 years of proven reserves of
conventional oil. Natural gas could be exploited for another
70 years. For coal, there would be around two centuries of
reserves.

5. B. OVERPOPULATION
◦ These data are to be put into perspective because they are based on
current consumption, while it is clear that it will increase considerably.
Energy demands are and will be amplified by the demographic - the
world’s population should reach nearly 10 billion people in 2050 -
and economic boom of growing areas. According to the International
Energy Agency (IEA), global energy demand could increase by more
than 50% by 2030 in the absence of public policies in this area.

6. C. AGING INFRASTRUCTURE
◦Another reason for energy shortage and scarcity is
the poor infrastructure of power generating
equipment. Most of energy producing companies
keep on using outdated equipments that limits
energy production. The need to upgrade the
infrastructure and set a high standard of performance
is critical.

7. D. ENERGY WASTE
◦Mainly coming from the unnecessary use of energy
resources, energy waste describes the wastage of energy
sources, in particular fuels and electricity. Consequently, the
reduction of waste is a colossal source of energy savings,
which requires actions both on an individual and collective
level.

8. E. ENVIRONMENTAL
◦The massive use of traditional energy sources leads - among
other things - to the increase of greenhouse gas emissions
such as carbon dioxide (CO2), resulting in global
warming and harming the environment and biodiversity.
Therefore, the energy crisis is closely linked to the
environmental crisis.

9. F. ECONOMIC AND SOCIO-POLITICAL
◦Energy security is one of the major concerns of the
main economic centers of the planet. In fact, energy
conditions the possibility of growth, which is essential
to the market economy and its development model.
The energy crisis could thus have a dramatic impact
on the global economy. Besides, when energy
markets fail, an energy shortage develops. Energy
shortages and resulting economic factors may create
socio-political issues.

10. Energy Crisis Prevention
◦The good news is that there
are ways to reduce the
energy crisis:

11. 1. Energy transition to renewable energy
sources
◦Unlike fossil fuels, some energy sources are totally
renewable, and do not emit greenhouse gases. These clean
and sustainable alternative energy solutionsinclude solar
energy, hydropower, wind energy, geothermal
energy and biomass energy.

12. 2. Energy efficiency and conservation
◦In order to prevent an energy crisis, it is also crucial that
we consume less energy by improving and
modernising energy infrastructure such as smart grid
solutions, and smart cities. It is also important that we
replace old devices by energy efficient solutions, such as
replacing traditional light bulbs by LEDs.
