Study Notes
Lecture 2: Dimensions of Energy and Sustainability
- The lecture covers the dimensions of energy and sustainability, outlining key aspects and projects.
- The outline for the lecture includes introduction, environmental impact, key targets, drivers, energy dimensions, projections, intensity, efficiency, sustainability, and closing remarks.
- Some major projects include hydrogen and ammonia technologies, alternative fuels and production technologies, electric and hybrid vehicles, renewable energy technologies, energy storage, and hybrid and integrated energy systems.
- 2023 global fossil fuel CO2 emissions by country: China (31.9%), US (13.2%), India (8%), and other countries with 0.5% or greater share each. Other countries are listed with a less than 1% share.
- Per-capita CO2 emissions show variations across countries. Wealthy nations generally have higher per capita emissions. Top-emitting countries per-capita: Saudi Arabia, Australia & New Zealand, Russia, Kazakhstan & Turkmenistan, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, etc.
- Greenhouse gas emissions and deaths per terawatt-hour of electricity production are measures of environmental impacts, and vary tremendously between different energy sources.
- Modes of transport with corresponding CO2e emissions per passenger per mile: plane (82), SUV (68), small car (55), motorcycle (40), transit bus (37), train (15), tour bus (10), and ferry (7).
- Global CO2 emissions by income and region, per-capita emissions, are shown.
- Canada's $2 trillion transition to get to net zero by 2050 is discussed. The projected emission cuts from current policies and estimated amounts from opportunities are shown.
- Canadian provinces ranked by energy efficiency in 2022 is shown as a map.
- Top 10 renewable energy trends and innovations in 2024 are presented with percentages.
- Factors in driving sustainability models include Population, Production, Power, Pollution, and Partnership
- Dimensions of sustainability include: Energy, Environment, Economy, Education, and Ethics.
- The integrated sustainability assessment model for energy systems is presented as a framework.
- Priority factors based on the four schemes for sustainability assessment model indexes are included.
Topics
- The 32-page presentation covers data about the energy consumption, efficiency, pollution, and sustainability of different energy sources.
- Global energy consumption, the role of fossil fuels versus renewables, the relationships between energy consumption and population, different methods of energy production, and emission levels for different energy sources are shown.
