Prospects for Alternative Energy Sources in Global Energy Sector

Abstract

The paper aims to reveal the prospects for the development of global energy sector and to look into the prospects for alternative energy sources in the world power industry. The paper provides the analysis of oil and gas (natural, liquefied, shale) production and transportation in the medium term. We define the conditions and the main factors of providing energy security as well as overcoming energy poverty of national economies. For the purpose of energy diversification, we identify the directions and the potential for the use of alternative energy sources and the possibility to step up development of alternative energy. On the basis of statistics, the paper demonstrates that the use of alternative fuels (hydrogen, biofuel, solar and wind energy, tidal energy) has not yet resulted in a significant decrease in the demand for oil, gas and other traditional energy sources. It is noted that offshore Arctic gas development is gradually increasing. Data on Arctic seas gas resources are provided. Geopolitical, financial, economic and environmental risks on the world energy markets are classified.

Práticas ambientalmente sustentáveis em empreendimentos turísticos

“…Gestão A economia de energia com redução de desperdício é um fator que garante a economia de recursos financeiros destinados a aumentar a escala de produção de energia e sua importação (DYATLOV et al, 2020). A preocupação com a redução do consumo e o uso racional de energia elétrica no Brasil tem aumentado devido a dois fatores principais: o aumento de tarifa com as mudanças estruturais do setor elétrico e a preocupação em reduzir os impactos ambientais e incentivar energias alternativas (MARTINEZ et al, 2009).…”

“…Essas novas fontes de energia têm maior potencial de se tornarem custos competitivos com as outras fontes de energia e são as que mais provavelmente contribuirão rapidamente para a mitigação das mudanças climáticas (DALE, 2013;IEA, 2017). Elas também auxiliam o desenvolvimento de empreendimentos turísticos, visto que é perceptível a redução do custo da energia (DYATLOV et al, 2020).…”

Hybrid Multiobjective Optimization Using Deterministic and Metaheuristic Techniques for Flowback Water Reusing in Hydraulic Fracturing Processes

“…The global drive toward a low carbon and sustainable energy supply system has led to an increase in research and development of low carbon alternatives to fossil-based natural gas in the gas grids . Shale gas is one of the prospects for alternative energy sources in the global energy sector . In recent years, the use of the hydraulic fracturing process to produce shale gas has become relevant due to significant shale gas reservoirs that have been discovered .…”
