This paper reports on the microeconomic aspect of obtaining the energy that is present in the environment. A number of factors including the rapidly growing demand for energy to fuel economic development, the need by countries to diversify their energy production into environmentally sustainable supply sources while concurrently taking into careful consideration climate change, energy security and economic factors have all served to greatly contribute towards the current accelerated private and public

FOSSIL FUELS AND ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF GENERATING ELECTRICITY What are fossil fuels? Fossil fuels are natural resources created under the Earth’s surface from the remains of ancient organisms. These organisms include plants and animals and other organic matter. How are fossil fuels formed? Millions of years ago most of the land on Earth was covered with swamps and forests. As trees and plants died, they would sink to the bottom of the swamps. As more trees and plants died their remains would

The first chapter of this thesis will be exclusively devoted to the identification and evolution of the market aspects which affect the volume of LNG imported and exported and consequently the volume of LNG chartered on vessels under long-term agreements and short term or spot market. The LNG market overview will help the reader to fully understand the current market situation of LNG but will also set the background of making more accessible the LNG chartering routine which currently transits from

In sum, for the United States to continue to compete with other major international economies, the country must further prioritize the cultivation of low carbon energy from the nuclear and renewable industries. Still yet, expanding the country’s nuclear and renewable energy infrastructure necessitates successfully addressing the prohibitive costs of initial development in both industries. At various points, the federal government has taken steps to do just that through the implementation of tax

The world today, as we know it, acknowledges the impact of the carbon emission on the surrounding environment with devastating effects such as global warming, rise of the ocean levels and destruction of animal and vegetal life. Therefore, it started shifting towards more green sources of energy such as renewable energy, ones that are more sustainable and more friendly to the environment. European Union, one of the most advanced democratic models of our time, is one of the key players at the global

The Risk and Uncertainty of Halliburton When thinking of the energy industry, the great Halliburton always will come to mind. According to their company history, Halliburton began in 1919 in Oklahoma as a small company mixing different elements for oil drilling ("History of Halliburton," n.d., para. 1 and 2). The company has since grown into a corporate giant, with revenues exceeding 18 billion dollars by the end of the third quarter in 2015 (Halliburton Company, p. 1), and currently runs two sectors:

Eric Bach-Crosby Gina Cassady ECO2013 October 11, 2015 Falling Oil Prices Just as any market experiences it’s fair share of ups and downs, the oil industry is currently running down a slippery slope. From coast to coast across the United States, the price of gasoline has plummeted to levels were last seen during the recession of 2009 (Krauss). Although prices have somewhat improved at various points throughout 2015, average prices have remained low and are expected to stay that way for the next

22 The North China Plain (NCP) is currently standing between the prosperous 23 economic growth and the severe water crisis. Its important economic role in the nation 24 can be easily seen through statistics: In 2013, its GDP amounted to 15 trillion Yuan (1 25 Yuan 0.16 USD), about 26% of the whole nation. Its industrial value-added 26 accounted for 42% of the region’s GDP, reflecting its high level of industrialization 27 (NBSC, 2014). However, its water resources

Algae Biofuel For many years the world has depended on one form of energy for transportation, and that is fossil fuels. This means as our demand for these fossil fuels increases our supply will decrease dramatically. As supply dwindles and costs rise, nations will be forced to utilize alternative energy sources. Coal, both non-renewable and environmentally destructive, is the most likely near-term candidate for replacing oil as a primary energy source. In order to achieve a secure and stable energy
