Keller-Goralczyk refinpb@yahoo.com Research Paper: Trends Upend the Global Energy Industry Recent history has shown energy commodities to be a fairly unstable industry, and petroleum products are certainly no exception as they dominate the global marketplace. The factors affecting supply around the world are almost innumerable, ranging from political stability to exhausting reserves. At the same time, demand for petroleum based energy has become very inelastic in the modern world, and its supply has at

The plains of the Karoo are thought to have a huge volume of shale gas deposited in rock formations deep underground. The reserves are yet to be exploited. Hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" is a technique used to extract that gas. A high-pressure mixture of water, sand and chemicals is injected into rock causing cracks to form, sand particles keep the cracks open and that allows the gas to flow up to the surface for use. Local fears relating to possible impacts on ground water in particular and

Energy Crisis The future global economy is likely to consume ever more energy, especially with the rising energy demand of developing countries such as China and India. On top of this, energy demand is expected to grow by almost half over the next two decades. The charts below shows the trends of worldwide energy consumption and the energy consumption of three big giants, USA, China and India till 2040. At present, we rely on coal, oil and gas (the fossil fuels) for over 80% of our current

Vital Source of Alternative Energy Our modern industrial civilization is to a large extent based on using fossil fuels. Still, due to overpopulation, climate change, and the scarcity of resources, one of the most precious and efficient sources of energy, oil, has already started to exhaust (Bode, 2005, p.81). This fact has caused scientists globally to seek for substitutes to fossil fuels to avoid economic and industrial collapse. Experts in the field of sustainable energy have turned their attention
