With a focus on development trends of world energy, this paper analyses the current world energy status and from the perspectives of energy sources, regions, end-use sectors, the balance of energy production and consumption, and in the context of its implications on the global environmental and economic and social development by using a series of indicators such as total primary energy, total final energy, energy consumption and CO2 emission intensity per capita and per GDP to compare and study. The main development trends contains depletion of fossil fuels, rapid development of renewable energy, aggravated environmental problems by energy-related GHG emissions, more unbalanced and interdependent regional energy production and consumption, more efficient energy industry; globalization and so on. This article expounds humans’ efforts to make progress in developing renewable energy and reducing energy-related environmental impacts. In the end of the paper, world energy structure development and middle-term energy consumption are projected, and the general orientations of world energy development trends in future are presented.

Gueye Moustapha Economics and Management Department, Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences, University Assane SECK of Ziguinchor, Senegal. Received 19 September, 2018; Accepted 6 November, 2018 Energy enables technical innovations, and progress in health, agriculture and transportation. Socio- economic development and energy production are linked, although some energy-rich countries are poor. Developed countries are the biggest consumers. Energy consumption increases with increase in world population. Fossil energies are dominantly consumed. Nuclear energies are often decried because of serious accidents. Renewable energies, theoretically inexhaustible, often show limits and they are for the moment only energies of completion. Unequal sharing of income from energy can cause tension. Are nuclear and renewable energies the miracle solutions for the future?. Key words: Renewable energy, non-renewable energy, energy income, energy security. INTRODUCTION Energy constitutes the history of humanity; it allows for because they cause serious accidents. They also technical innovations, sanitary and agricultural produce wastes whose transport and storage are advancement, and increases the efficiency of dangerous, and their mastery pushes some countries to transportation. Economic and social development and develop alarming military nuclear programs. Thus, saving energy production are linked, although some energy-rich becomes an imperative to reduce the consumption of countries are poor. The most developed countries are the non-renewable energy resources.

  • The Challenges of Asia Remarks to the Camden Conference Ambassador Chas W
    The Challenges of Asia Remarks to the Camden Conference Ambassador Chas W. Freeman, Jr. (USFS, Ret.) February 18, 2011, Camden, Maine The Greeks are to blame for many things. Not least of these is the somewhat preposterous idea of “Asia.” For thousands of years after strategists in Greece came up with this Eurocentric notion, the many non-European peoples who inhabited the Eurasian landmass were blissfully unaware that they were supposed to share an identity as “Asians.” After all, except during the near-unification of Asia under the Mongols, they had little to do with each other. Arabs and Chinese, like Indians, Japanese, Malays, Persians, Russians, Turks, and others had different histories, cultures, languages, religious heritages, and political traditions. Their economies were only tenuously connected by the gossamer strands of the Silk Road and its maritime counterpart. But all this is now changing. “Asia” is leaving the realm of Greek myth and becoming a reality. Asians are drawing together as they rise in wealth and power. Their companies and their influence now extend throughout their own continent and beyond. In the Twentieth Century, the world had to adapt to American domination of its global political economy. Americans must now adapt to a political economy increasingly centered on Asia. In much of Asia, as late as the last decades of the past century, post-colonial hangovers deranged politics with love-hate relationships that distorted attitudes toward the West. This is easy to understand. After all, Western colonialism had humbled the armies, crushed the self-esteem, and suppressed the values and political traditions of societies from Turkey to China.

  • Buy Coal Or Kick-Start Green Innovation? Energy Policies in An
    Environmental and Resource Economics (2020) 77:95–126 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10640-020-00455-8 Buy Coal or Kick‑Start Green Innovation? Energy Policies in an Open Economy Chiara Ravetti1 · Tania Theoduloz2 · Giulia Valacchi3 Accepted: 8 July 2020 / Published online: 20 July 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract This paper analyses two unilateral policies available to countries that want to rapidly curb carbon emissions in the global economy, but do not own any fossil fuel resources. If fos- CO sil fuel owners do not cooperate in 2 emission reduction eforts, the only strategy to reduce their fossil fuels’ use is to exploit the interconnectedness of production given by international trade. We compare a Pigouvian approach, namely a subsidy for renewable energy prices, and a Coasian supply-side strategy, buying extractive rights over fossil fuel deposits abroad. Using a dynamic North–South trade model with endogenous innovation, we show how these policies, designed to prevent an environmental disaster, have diferent cost and welfare profles. If fossil fuel deposits can be purchased at their market price, the supply-side policy achieves the highest welfare. If instead the fossil fuel owners require a full compensation for their income loss, subsidies for renewable energy inputs can result in higher welfare, but only if the resource-rich region has less advanced technologies for green energy production than the countries implementing the policy.
