The Future of Energy Consumption, Security and Natural Gas by Kari Liuhto Pdf

"This book about natural gas and LNG especially in Baltic Sea region, edited by Professor Kari Liuhto, should be the basic material for politicians, civil servants, businesspeople and academia to better understand the sector and the transition. Its logic is sound, statistics collected are impressive" - Seppo Remes, Professor in Practice, Lappeenranta University of Technology, former member of the Board of Russian plastics and petrochemical giant Sibur Holding "This study is a topical and very useful presentation that opens up new perspectives for security research as well. The book deals extensively with the ongoing development and the future of natural gas - especially LNG - in the Baltic Sea region. Because energy is the foundation of our modern lives, it's role and development also affect regional and international security. The study provides an excellent demonstration of how economic interdependence is forcing the countries of the Baltic Sea region to tighten their partnerships. The most important message of the book is to show that energy issues are both political and economic from the point of view of comprehensive security." - Marko Palokangas, Military Professor, Lieutenant Colonel, Finland's National Defence University This book analyses the recent development of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the Baltic Sea region and how energy security in the region has improved after Finland, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Sweden have constructed their LNG import terminals. In addition to these LNG receiving units, the book deals with the major pipeline projects, such as Baltic Pipe, Balticconnector, Nord Stream 2, and Gas Interconnection Poland-Lithuania, and their impact on energy security of the Baltic Sea region. This book will be of interest to experts specialising in European energy markets and energy security. Kari Liuhto is Professor of International Business and Director of the Pan-European Institute at the University of Turku, Finland.

Low-carbon Energy Security from a European Perspective by Patrizia Lombardi,Max Gruenig Pdf

Low-Carbon Energy Security from a European Perspective draws on the European Commission‘s funded project MILESECURE-2050. It considers low-carbon energy security and energy geopolitics in Europe, with a focus on four thematic clusters: challenging the energy security paradigm; climate change and energy security objectives (the components of a secure and low-carbon energy system); energy security in a geopolitical perspective, as it relates to economics, resource competition, and availability; and the influence of large scale renewable energy projects on energy security and shifting geopolitical alliances. An overarching narrative is that optimizing the energy system simultaneously across different objectives may be impossible, i.e., lowest cost, least environmental impact, minimal downtime, regional supply. This book explores these charged topics through insights from a series of novel, new energy project case studies, and demonstrates the need for difficult political conversations within Europe and beyond by posing fundamental yet new questions about the energy security paradigm. Offers a unique perspective on low-carbon energy security by considering the assumptions behind current energy security needs Suggests the benefit of envisioning energy security through out-of-the-box scenario development with respect to the energy system Includes energy in an international scenario with case studies from Africa, Russia, Ukraine, Morroco, China, South America, and Europe Draws on the European Commission‘s funded project MILESECURE-2050

Global Energy Policy and Security by Walter Leal Filho,Vlasios Voudouris Pdf

Despite efforts to increase renewables, the global energy mix is still likely to be dominated by fossil-fuels in the foreseeable future, particularly gas for electricity and oil for land, air and sea transport. The reliance on depleting conventional oil and natural gas resources and the geographic distribution of these reserves can have geopolitical implications for energy importers and exporters. Global Energy Policy and Security examines the security of global and national energy supplies, as well as the sensitivity and impacts of sustainable energy policies which emphasize the various political, economic, technological, financial and social factors that influence energy supply, demand and security. Multidisciplinary perspectives provide the interrelated topics of energy security and energy policy within a rapidly changing socio-political and technological landscape during the 21st century. Included are two main types of interdisciplinary papers. One set of papers deals with technical aspects of energy efficiency, renewable energy and the use of tariffs. The other set of papers focuses on social, economic or political issues related to energy security and policy, also describing research, practical projects and other concrete initiatives being performed in different parts of the world. This book will prove useful to all those students and researchers interested in the connections between energy production, energy use, energy security and the role of energy policies.

Long-term Energy Security Risks for Europe by Arianna Checchi,Arno Behrens,Christian Egenhofer Pdf

The aim of the paper is to identify and evaluate existing and potential EU energy supply risks on the basis of a sector-specific approach. Moving away from common generalisations on security of energy supply as well as from those studies that focus only on one sector, it brings together all types of fuel and analyses the risks related to each of them. The result is a comprehensive picture of the energy security challenges faced by the EU in the long-term. The paper can be seen as a tool to avoid overlapping, incoherence and contradictions in the process of assessing security of supply and aims to formulate a consistent and more unified European energy policy.

Energy Security and Development by B. Sudhakara Reddy,Sergio Ulgiati Pdf

This volume provides a systematic framework for energy suppliers, policy makers, academics, students, and all others interested in energy security, and analyzes key issues concerning energy, security and sustainability with the help of a wealth of data. While sustainability is the broadest objective, energy security is an important part of it, at the global, national and societal levels. The development of a sustainable, long-term solution to meeting the world’s energy needs is a defining issue of our time, since central global challenges that the world faces—poverty alleviation, climate change, and environmental degradation—are directly linked to energy security. The contributions cover key issues in sustainable energy and illustrate that the insecurity of a majority of countries owes to internal factors which have more to do with market forces, inefficient technologies, lack of institutions, environmental insecurity, pricing mechanisms, etc., and less to do with the international situation. The links between energy and development are both direct and indirect. Directly, energy provides several services and utilities to maintain human well-being, and also does so indirectly through stakeholders. This volume addresses both the direct and indirect links and provides sustainable alternatives, helping readers to better grasp the resilience of both socio-economic and resource sub-systems in the process. The issues affecting energy supply and demand, including technology portfolios, environmental considerations and consumer attitudes are thoroughly discussed. One of the critical questions that arises is how to facilitate energy investment. The investment climate and the key issues involved are analyzed, including: the capital flows with reasonable and stable investment frameworks, timely decision-making by governments, and open markets. The broad objective of the volume is to foster a deeper understanding of the concept of energy security and to identify the methods of analysis, policy initiatives and future research needed to generate a balanced pattern of energy use and mitigate its impact on humanity and the environment.

Measuring Energy Security by Mr.Prakash Loungani,Mr.Frederick L. Joutz,Gail Cohen Pdf

We present evidence on one facet of energy security in OECD economies - the extent of diversification in sources of oil and natural gas supplies. Viewed from the perspective of the energy-importing countries as a whole, there has not been much change in diversification in oil supplies over the last decade, but diversification in sources of natural gas supplies has increased steadily. We document the cross-country heterogeneity in the extent of diversification. We also show how the extent of diversification changes if account is taken of the political risk attached to suppliers; the size of the importing country; and transportation risk.

Securing our energy future? A review of Nova Scotia s energy sector in 2004 by Larry Hughes Pdf

A review of Nova Scotia energy sector in 2004 Summary In 2003 and 2004, the Nova Scotia Department of Energy released annual "progress reports", intended to explain how the province was meeting the goals and objectives outlined in the 2001 Energy Strategy. [...] The province's existing Energy Strategy discuses energy security, primarily in terms of how the province's offshore natural gas supplies could be used to enhance the energy security of Nova Scotia, Canada and the US. [...] The reality is that the vast majority of the province's energy is imported leaving the Nova Scotia vulnerable to the volatility of the world energy markets. [...] One of the expected benefits of the offshore, touted by the Energy Strategy, was the development of a strong offshore services sector. [...] Given the decline in natural gas production from Nova Scotia's offshore, LNG appears to be one of the ways the province can continue to be a "player" in the natural gas field.
