BP Statistical Review of World Energy June 2014 •Fossil fuels will continue to be the primary energy source in the coming decades. •Growth Growth rate in global primary rate in global primary energy consumption: +2.3% energy consumption: +2.3% •Currently, share of renewables: 5.3% But, considering the increase in the TOTAL consumption of fuels by 2035, it is anticipated considering the increase in the TOTAL consumption of fuels by 2035, it is anticipated •But, that coal’s and oil’s relative shares will decrease and renewables will increase.

Turkeyy Coal With the fossil fuels continuing to have the greatest share in energy portfolio in the coming decades global warming decades, and the associated challenges should be faced. Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii y 400 ppm is exceeded! Global CO2 emission values forecasted for 2035 are nearly double the 1990 level. l d bl h 1990 l l IEA’s 450 Scenario: The goal is to limit the global increase in temperature to 2°C by limiting temperature to 2°C by limiting concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to around 450 parts per million of CO2. Turkish‐German Conference on Energy Technologies, 13‐15 Oct 2014, Ankara 7 ENERGY OUTLOOK ‐ Summary •Not Not every country is equally lucky to have enough fossil fuel. •Harsh Harsh and ruthless attack on oil and natural gas continues towards depletion of their reserves. •Coal will continue to be one of the major primary source of energy; though its share will tend to decrease in favor of renewables. •Avoidance of global warming requires to increase the share of renewables in energy generation. Turkish‐German Conference on Energy Technologies, 13‐15 Oct 2014, Ankara 8 STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR FUTURE 1) Rehabilitation and renovation of energy systems using fossil fuels and abatement of the damage to the environment. ‐ Improvement of combustion and gasification systems ‐ Reducing SO2, NOx, Hg and CO2 emissions 2) Development Development and adaptation of renewable energy systems and adaptation of renewable energy systems ‐ Hydroelectric ‐ Wind Suitable for distributed energy generation (DEG) ‐ Solar ‐ Biomass 3) Energy storage ‐ Use of H2 as energy carrier gy Suitable for distributed energy generation (DEG) Turkish‐German Conference on Energy Technologies, 13‐15 Oct 2014, Ankara Distributed Energy Supply on Demand and on Spot gy pp y p Distributed energy consists of a range of small‐scale and modular devices designed to provide electricity, and modular devices designed to provide electricity, and sometimes also thermal energy, in locations close to consumers. They include renewable energy technologies (e.g., photovoltaic arrays, wind turbines, microturbines, reciprocating engines, fuel cells, combustion turbines, and steam turbines); energy storage devices (e.g., batteries and flywheels); and combined heat and power systems.
