Introduction to energy – sustainable growth in the 21st century
4–6 June 2008,
London, UK
Energy supply and use has, and will continue to drive the development of civilisation. Growing global population, economic development and resulting energy demand places future energy supplies at the centre of national and international strategic planning. The energy issues associated with future sources of supply, price, security of supply and impacts on global pollution and climate have become extremely high-profile issues hotly debated across government, industry and society in general. The majority of world leaders now agree that promoting clean energy supply to combat ongoing climate change is the issue confronting the world in the twenty-first century.
Large sectors of the energy industry, for instance the major OECD listed oil and gas companies, are now challenged in the short term to solve tangible shortages in their own fossil fuel supplies and reserves. In the light of recent price increases and concerns over security of supply of petroleum and, ultimately coal, many governments are now actively considering energy policy revisions and research and development programmes that promote expanded roles for nuclear, renewable and alternative energies. How can oil and gas companies, power generators and countries with major reserves of oil, gas and coal adapt their strategies and re-position their production portfolios to survive and prosper long-term in a world that is looking increasingly to a future involving less polluting fuels?
In such circumstances it is essential to understand fundamentally what energy is, how it is resourced and used today, and what technological and commercial options are being developed, if we are to be able to devise workable solutions to the energy problems that confront us. This courses aims to comprehensively provide technical, commercial, legislative and political information impartially, and in terms and language comprehensible to a multi-disciplined, technical and non-technical audience. The course material should interest delegates from the length of the energy supply chains, energy consumers, energy regulatory bodies and lobby groups.
