Fossil Fuels – Finite Resources/Production
Global demand 4.3% increase 2004 70% oil production facilities declining yield 18 major oil producers 2004 Type 3 depletion Exploration lag (extraction & refining) Excess production capacity 1M B/day
On most sites these four types of energy wastage can be commonly identified:
UNNECESSARY POORLY CONTROLLED
• Equipment and lights that are
redundant
• Timer and/or temperature controls wrongly set
• Poorly maintained boilers • Use of standard lamps instead of energy saving lamps
Don’t forget reducin g energy is:
INEFFICIENT
• Use of inappropriate fuels
INAPPROPRIATE
