European Union Dependence on Primary Energy • •







Despite ever improving energy intensity rate, the EU-27 is a net energy importer. EU’s indigenous primary energy production is depleting. EU's energy production satisfies less than half of its needs, with import dependency reaching almost 54% in 2006. Oil comprises the bulk of total EU energy imports (60%) followed by imports of gas (26%) and solid fuels (13%). The European Union produces less than one fifth of its total oil consumption. In 2006, the EU imported 608 Mtoe of oil . Most of the oil imports come from OPEC (38%), Russia (33%) Norway (16%) and Kazakhstan (5%). As a whole, the situation is better in the gas sector, since domestic production (mostly taking place in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom) satisfies about two fifths of the consumption needs. Gas is mainly imported from three suppliers: Russia (42%), Norway (24%), Algeria (18%) followed by Nigeria (5%). Sources of coal imports are less concentrated – the largest suppliers of coal being Russia (26%) and South Africa (25%), followed by Australia (13%), Colombia (12%), Indonesia (10%) and the United States (8%). 15 May 2009

Oil field Production Stages • Primary Production – initially, the oil flows forced by the pressure prehexisting in the reservoir – That is the most productive stage, while pressure declines – with declining pressure, dissolved gas evolves • Secundary Production - EOR (to re-establish pressure) – pumping in water (Ghawar) – pumping nitrogen (Cantarell) – pumping natural gas or CO2 (US, Norway) • Tertiary Production (extreme measures) – underground pumps, surfactants, blasts – bacterial inoculation for digesting the remaining oil thereby generating pressurizing gas 15 May 2009

30

The Curse of Shrinking EROEI • The EROI (Energy Returned On Energy Invested) measures how much energy (say oil barrels) needs to be spent in order to extract another barrel of oil. • EROI decreases from stage to stage and recovery of oil in place is never complete (up to 50%). The EROEI of all fossil fuels is diminishing globally. • Tar sands, oil shale and tight gas were hitherto not profitable to produce, because their EROI is low (around 5). • Once the EROI of a primary energy source approaches 1, it makes no physical sense to produce it. • If the EROI of all primary energy sources falls below a value of about 5, the industrial civilization as we know it is doomed. • The EROI of crude oil is shrinking fast. It has already shrunk by approximately a factor of 10. It is currently somewhere around 10. 15 May 2009

Production is Declining in the Historic Major Mining Regions • There are 30 major gold mining companies and many junior companies. • Many of the major companies are not keeping up with reserve replacement and are also showing declining production and reserve profiles. Margins are not expanding due to the inability to add new high-grade reserves. Instead, reserves are added through acquisitions and by raising the gold price used in reserve calculations. This reflects lower average ore grade and higher production costs. • CIBC World Markets calculates a four-year world recovered gold grade decline from 1.7g/t in 2004 to 1.4g/t in 2008, that’s about an $8.70 decline in the value of every tonne of ore blasted, hauled and processed. • Like gold, several high-tech materials are scarce, energy intensive and expensive 15 May 2009

ENERGY AND SUSTAINABILITY An Epoch of Transition

What we already knew but haven’t learn Another paradigm shift to come

Sustainable Development • •

• •

The “Brundtland report” deals with sustainable development and the change of politics needed for achieving that. The definition adopted in the report is quite well known and often cited: "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs“. The Report of the Brundtland Commission, Our Common Future, was welcomed by the UN General Assembly in its resolution 42/187. In its “Call for Action” states: «Over the course of this century, the relationship between the human world and the planet that sustains it has undergone a profound change. When the century began, neither human numbers nor technology had the power to radically alter planetary systems. As the century closes, not only do vastly increased human numbers and their activities have that power, but major, unintended changes are occurring in the atmosphere, in soils, in waters, among plants and animals, and in the relationships among all of these. The rate of change is outstripping the ability of scientific disciplines and our current capabilities to assess and advise. It is frustrating the attempts of political and economic institutions, which evolved in a different, more fragmented world, to adapt and cope. It deeply worries many people who are seeking ways to place those concerns on the political agendas.»

Peak Oil Prediction - Hubbert’s Curve • Different oil fields are being produced at different times. • The production of each oil field grows initially, then reaches a peak, and finally decays. • Irrespective of the shape of the individual production curves, the sum of the individual production curves of the wells in a field follows invariably a bell-shaped distribution. • When integrating this data over time, the accumulated production is a s-shaped (sigmoid) curve that approximates a logistic model. • The final value of this curve ought to be the total amount of oil available for production (ultimate recoverable reserve URR). • M. King Hubbert correctly predicted on this basis the peak of oil production in the US without Alaska to occur in 1971. He also predicted world oil to peak around 2000. 15 May 2009

Jay Forrester System Dynamics and World Dynamics Computer scientist. Inventor of the RAM. Founder of System Dynamics discipline. The System Dynamics approach to modeling dynamic of in particular ill-defined systems was developed in the 1960’s by Jay Forrester at M.I.T. System Dynamics modeling starts by defining the set of levels (stocks) and of their rates (flows). The set of factors influencing each one of the rate variables are specified then. Forrester published his full model (Wold2) in his book World Dynamics (1971). Donella and Dennis Meadows published the results of his studies in his book Limits to Growth. The exercise serves to demonstrate how market forces alone are likely to drive the system down the path of overshoot and collapse, rather than down the path of a sustainable future. 15 May 2009

67

Meadows’ World3 Model (1972) • One year after Forrester, Meadows (also at M.I.T.) published his own world model that he named World3. • The World3 model is considerably more complex than the earlier World2 model. • Contrary to Forrester, Meadows didn’t publish the equations governing his model in his book Limits to Growth. He only published the simulation results obtained from his model. • He published the model itself in a separate book Dynamics of Growth in a Finite World in 1973. • Meadows’ model is considerably more sound than Forrester’s model, and consequently, it can answer more questions in a more reliable fashion. • Meadows published three versions of his model: in 1972, in 1992, and in 2004. 15 May 2009

Simulation Results World3

69

Different Scenarios • Although World2 and World3 use a completely different set of state variables with different interactions among them, the results are nearly identical. • In both World2 and World3 the limits to growth are initially caused by resource depletion. • Meadows (like Forrester before him) proposed to lift that limit by assuming that there are more resources available than earlier thought. • In both models, the limits to growth are then caused by excessive pollution. • Both models point to excessive pollution is rather worse than resource depletion, leading to massive die-off. • Hence measures are proposed to limit the amount of pollutants generated. • Now the limits to growth are caused by food scarcity. 15 May 2009

70

Sustainability in Question • All indicators point to the assumption that we are already consuming the remaining resources of Earth at a pace faster than the planet is able to regenerate them. • Our material standard of living is no longer sustainable. • In such a situation, it doesn’t help to relieve a limiting factor. In order to prevent the worst-case scenario, we’ll have to reduce consumption down to a sustainable level. • The most important question that the world models ought to answer is: When is the world coming out of exponential growth? They are fairly consistent in the answer to this question: It happens right about now. • Different quantities, such as fuels, minerals, water and food peak at different times, but they all peak essentially within one or two generations. • This is the direct consequence of exponential growth running up against the limitations of a finite resource, namely our planet’s carrying capacity. 15 May 2009

ECONOMY’S METABOLISM The Man - Nature Interdependence The need for Global Material Accounts

Economic Development vs Resources and Environment Impacts •





Unless significant steps are taken to develop improved tools for analyzing economic/ ecosystem relationships, global development will be constrained by the deterioration of the natural resource base upon which it rests and by the environmental hazards it generates. A recent study by the US National Research Council recommended that “a structured Material Flows Accounting (MFA) framework that can accept and integrate existing and future data be established” to provide a means “to determine more effective strategies for improving environmental and economic performances as well as efficiency of resource use”. A similar need, for national and macro-economic level material flow accounts, was recognized by the OECD which has organized a program for the development of common material flow accounts and indicators.

Material and Energy Flow Accounting •

• •



The creation of realistic Material Flow Accounts (MFA) has been pioneered by a few European countries (Germany, Austria, Denmark, Finland and the UK) and shown to be possible at the national and European level. These accounts have resulted in overall macro indicators of national resource inputs and outputs along with detailed commodity and economic sector flows. The macro indicators, and specific commodity information, have been shown to be of value in assessing the relationship between material flows and economic and population growth, and in providing alerts of emerging problems. Previous work has resulted in considerable detailed information on the material flows associated with global use of all the major energy, agricultural, forestry, metals and minerals commodities.

World Resource Institute, “Resource Flows: The Material Basis of Industrial Economies”, 1977; “The Weight of Nations: Material Outflows from Industrial Economies”, 2000; “Material Flows in the U. S: A Physical Accounting of the Industrial Economy of the United States”, Draft 2004. Eurostat, “Material Use in the European Union 1980-2000: Indicators and Analysis”, ISBN 92-894-3789-8, European Communities, 2002. 15 May 2009

Material Flow Accounting and System of Integrated Environmental and Economic Accounts (SEEA) •

• •



Eurostat published both a detailed methodological guide on MFA and a retrospective analysis of key material use indicators (Eurostat 2001; Bringezu and Schütz 2001). Some countries have established and publish physical input-output tables (PIOT) alongside with economic input-output tables as part of regular statistical reporting. The European Environment Agency’s comprehensive and regular state of the environment reports now also includes an analysis of key material flow trends and assessment of linkages to policy (EEA 2005). The System of National Accounts (SNA) and the more recently developed System of Integrated Environmental and Economic Accounts (SEEA) have adopted improved accounting conventions (Bartelmus, Anielski and Pintér 2005; OECD 2000). Once fully established, material flow accounts (MFA) would enable the systematic collection of data, thus providing reliable economic/ material indicators. Sub-accounts are provided for fossil fuels, metals and industrial minerals, construction minerals, and biomass. 15 May 2009

75

Physical Input-Output Tables (PIOT) and National Accounting Matrix Enviromental Accounts (NAMEA) (SEEA-2003) •







The same assumptions, techniques and classifications used for converting monetary supply and use tables into input-output tables have been applied to physical supply and use tables to produce physical input-output tables (PIOT). Best correspondence between physical energy product/commodity classification and monetary product/commodity classifications, is sought for energy used in various economic statistics (national accounts, trade statistics, customs data). National Accounting Matrix Environmental Accounts (NAMEA) tables have energy commodities in the column headings and industries and households in the rows. Energy commodities also correspond with the energy commodities in the national accounts, so that their production, export, import and intermediate consumption should be identified in the national accounts. Supply of energy products/commodities must equal the use/consumption of these products/commodities in both physical and monetary units. 15 May 2009

76

Economy-wide Material Balance

The main economy-wide indicators include domestic material input (DMI), domestic material consumption (DMC), total material requirement (TMR), 15 May 2009 physical trade balance (PTB), domestic processed output (DPO), etc.

What one cannot observe and measure one cannot fully understand and command. Global material flow accounts overarching existing data bases, and incorporating all Energy flows, ought to be established in open, comprehensive and regular basis.
