Week 2: Energy supply, demand and security / The impact of energy use Week 3: The impact of energy use Week 4: Energy security and the future Week 5: Energy security and the future The presentation links to the Edexcel updated SOW with supplementary material to enhance or simplify the core knowledge. Classwork/Homework includes: • Compare and contrast electricity generation and consumption by country on the EIA website. • Investigate per capita energy use and energy types in countries at different levels of development and explain these in relation to economic and resource factors • Drawing conclusions from resource work • Today’s energy choices will shape the future of energy, but how should we assess their impact and adequacy? (• 1. Where is the global energy system heading, based on the policy plans and investment choices we see today. • 2. Assess what would need to be done differently in order to reach the climate, energy access, pollution and other goals that policy makers have set themselves.) • Use world outline maps to map areas of energy surplus (oil, coal, case, uranium) versus locations of highest consumption, and locations with high renewable potential; Add flow lines of major trade flows in oil, coal and gas • The economic and environmental costs and benefits of : The Athabasca Oil Sands Brazil’s Deep Water Oil Shale Gas/Oil in the Dakotas, USA VIDEO LINKS to The Economist library on Energy Security, World Economic Forum, BBC, The Guardian and many others.
