Download or read book Energy and Geopolitics Volume 1 written by Samuele Furfari and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-23 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy and its corollary, energy geopolitics, is a more popular issue than ever before in today’s world. After being threatened for 40 years by fears of an oil shortage, we have now entered an era of abundant fossil fuels combined with an increase in global energy demand. However, new fears of sustainable development are now at the heart of energy policy. This book lays the foundation for an understanding of what energy is and the challenges ahead. The book opens with the fundamental principles of energy, reviewing the essential principles of physics that are based on universal laws that never change. It then examines the basics of data analysis and the importance of sustainable development. With this knowledge, it is then possible to review the different energy sources (oil, gas, coal, nuclear, renewable energy, electricity and energy efficiency), explaining how they are produced, the importance of their reserves, their specific markets and the main industrial actors, and the countries that produce them. These notions are essential to understand energy policy and geopolitics. As these are closely linked to its past evolution, many references are provided to historical events that put the current situation in perspective. This educational book is full of graphs, diagrams and boxes to help the reader gradually progress in their understanding of the highly complex geopolitical nature of energy.
Download or read book Le Monde et l nergie Vol 1 Les clefs pour comprendre written by Samuele Furfari and published by Editions TECHNIP. This book was released on 2007 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans le domaine de l'énergie, la mondialisation est une réalité visible depuis plusieurs décennies, notamment depuis le premier choc pétrolier de 1974/1975 ; elle l'était en fait depuis le premier conflit mondial où le pétrole a commencé à jouer un rôle majeur. Expliquer la géopolitique et appréhender l'avenir de la planète, à l'heure d'un nouveau grand tournant énergétique, tel est l'objectif poursuivi par Samuele Furfari dans cet ouvrage de référence en deux volumes. Dans le tome I, "les clefs pour comprendre", l'auteur explore les différents "âges" de la planète Energie. Une large place est consacrée aux principales ressources, avec des développements sur les réserves, sur les modes d'exploitation et sur leurs implications au plan de l'environnement et du changement climatique. Le tome II, "les cartes en mains", décrit les grands marchés énergétiques et leur évolution prévisible au travers d'un décryptage géopolitique des cartes. Une part importante est consacrée à l'approvisionnement européen et aux relations Est/Ouest qui le sous-tendent, en raison des énormes réserves gazières de la Russie et de ses anciens satellites. Une autre part concerne les gros consommateurs mondiaux - l'actuel (les USA) et les nouveaux (la Chine et l'Inde) - qui, tout en misant sur les relations Nord-Sud (le Moyen Orient et l'Amérique du Sud pour la première, l'Afrique pour les seconds), lorgnent également les zones qui intéressaient traditionnellement l'Europe. Le lecteur comprend ainsi l'ampleur des enjeux internationaux de l'énergie et la compétition en cours pour se l'approprier.

Book excerpt: Qui sait si 1 joule représente beaucoup d'énergie ? Combien de pétrole faut-il pour fabriquer un téléphone portable ? Combien de charbon utilise-t-on dans le monde ? Malgré tous les débats autour de ce sujet crucial, la plupart d'entre nous sommes en fait des « aveugles énergétiques ». On parle souvent d'énergie sans bien apprécier ce qu'elle représente aujourd'hui, ni intégrer à quel point elle est au cœur de toute l'évolution humaine. Ce livre donne les clés pour comprendre ce qu'est l'énergie, dans un format ludique de chroniques courtes.

Download or read book Oil Power and War written by Matthieu Auzanneau and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of oil is one of hubris, fortune, betrayal, and destruction. It is the story of a resource that has been undeniably central to the creation of our modern culture, and ever-present during the darkest exploits of empire the world over. For the past 150 years, oil has become the most essential ingredient for economic, military, and political power. And it has brought us to our present moment in which political leaders and the fossil-fuel industry consider extraordinary, and extraordinarily dangerous, policy on a world stage marked by shifting power bases. Upending the conventional wisdom by crafting a “people’s history,” award-winning journalist Matthieu Auzanneau deftly traces how oil became a national and then global addiction, outlines the enormous consequences of that addiction, sheds new light on major historical and contemporary figures, and raises new questions about stories we thought we knew well: What really sparked the oil crises in the 1970s, the shift away from the gold standard at Bretton Woods, or even the financial crash of 2008? How has oil shaped the events that have defined our times: two world wars, the Cold War, the Great Depression, ongoing wars in the Middle East, the advent of neoliberalism, and the Great Recession, among them? With brutal clarity, Oil, Power, and War exposes the heavy hand oil has had in all of our lives—and illustrates how much heavier that hand could get during the increasingly desperate race to control the last of the world’s easily and cheaply extractable reserves.
