3 3 These measurements show concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO) at altitudes of 15,000 feet. Red colors in these images indicate highest levels of CO (450 parts per billion). Blue colors indicate lowest levels of CO (50 ppb). Terra detected strong sources of CO in Southeast Asia during April and May 2000. The air pollution plume from this region moves over the Pacific Ocean and reaches North America, frequently at fairly high concentrations. Scientists say that fires and possibly industrial sources are major contributors to these events.

6 Júlia Seixas & J. Joanaz Melo, 2006 FCT | UNL 6 A clean, secure and sufficient supply of energy is simply essential for the future of our country. We need energy to heat and light our homes, to power our businesses and to transport people and goods. Without it, we could not function as an economy or modern society. But we now face two immense challenges as a country – energy security and climate change. Tony Blair in The Energy Challenge, July 2006 policy Dec. 1997

7 Júlia Seixas & J. Joanaz Melo, 2006 FCT | UNL 7 Business has already found that it is possible to reduce emissions from its operations. Counterintuitively, BP found that it was able to reach its initial target of reducing emissions by 10 percent below its 1990 levels without cost. Indeed, the company added around $650 million of shareholder value, because the bulk of the reductions came from the elimination of leaks and waste. Other firms -- such as electricity generator Entergy, car manufacturer Toyota, and mining giant Rio Tinto -- are having similar experiences. Lord Brown of Madingley is former Group Chief Executive of BP in Foreign Affairs, July/August 2004 business The Climate Savers Computing Initiative is setting a new 90 % efficiency target for power supplies, which if achieved, will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 54 million tons per year - and save more than $5.5 billion in energy costs."

19 Júlia Seixas & J. Joanaz Melo, 2006 FCT | UNL 19 Oil consumption growth in 2004 was the largest in volume terms since 1976. Consumption grew by almost 2.5 million barrels per day (b/d), which is more than double the 10-year average rate. Chinese oil consumption rose by nearly 900,000 b/d. But oil consumption growth was a global trend, with consumption in all regions rising above the 10-year average rate on the back of the world economy. 1.

21 Júlia Seixas & J. Joanaz Melo, 2006 FCT | UNL 21 Reserves are those quantities of petroleum anticipated to be commercially recoverable by application of development projects to known accumulations under defined conditions. Reserves must satisfy four criteria: discovered through one or more exploratory wells recoverable using existing technology commercially viable remaining in the ground All reserve estimates involve uncertainty, depending on the amount of reliable geologic and engineering data available and the interpretation of those data. Proved reserves are those reserves considered to have a reasonable certainty (normally at least 90% confidence) of being recoverable under existing economic and political conditions, and using existing technology. Industry specialists refer to this as P90 (i.e. having a 90% certainty of being produced). Proved reserves are also known in the industry as 1P Proved reserves are the only type the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission allows oil companies to report to investors.Securities and Exchange Commission Probable reserves are based on median estimates, and indicate a 50% confidence level of recovery. Industry specialists refer to this as P50 (i.e. having a 50% certainty of being produced). Referred to in the industry as 2P (proved plus probable). Possible reserves have a less likely chance of being recovered than probable reserves. This term is often used for reserves which have at least a 10% certainty of being produced (P10). Reasons for classifying reserves as possible include varying interpretations of geology, reserves not producible at commercial rates, uncertainty due to reserve infill, projected reserves based on future recovery methods. Referred to in the industry as 3P (proved plus probable plus possible).Unproved reserves are used internally by oil companies and government agencies for future planning purposes. Curves represent categories of oil in assessment. There is a 95-percent chance (i.e., probability, F95) of at least volume V1 of economically recoverable oil, and there is a 5-percent chance (F05) of at least volume V2 of economically recoverable oil. 1.

This estimate, from Morgan Stanley, implies that almost a quarter of the world's petrol is sold at less than the market price. U.S. Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman stated that around 30 million barrels per day (4,800,000 m³/d) of oil consumption (over a third of the global total) is subsidized.But energy analyst Jeff Vail warned that cutting subsidies would do little to reduce global prices.

30 Júlia Seixas & J. Joanaz Melo, 2006 FCT | UNL 30 Heating degree day (HDD) and cooling degree day (CDD) are quantitative indices demonstrated to reflect demand for energy to heat or cool houses and businesses. These indices are derived from daily temperature observations. HDD are calculated over a period of time by adding up the differences between each day's mean daily temperature and the "balance point" temperature (Tbase) of 18 °C, above which the building is assumed not to need any heating. The degree-day figure for a given month or week is the accumulated total of daily results over the period in question.indicesdemandenergy temperatureC The daily result for HDD is selected from the following formulae: ConditionFormula used T max <T base D h =T base -(T max +T min )/2 T max >=T base D h =(T base -T min )/2-(T max -T base )/4 (T max +T min )/2>T base D h =(T base -T min )/4 T min >T base D h =0 The daily result for CDD is selected from the following formulae: ConditionFormula used T min >T base D c =(T max +T min )/2-T base T min <=T base D c =(T max -T base )/2-(T base -T min )/4 (T max +T min )/2<T base D c =(T max -T base )/4 T max <T base D c =0 1.

36 Júlia Seixas & J. Joanaz Melo, 2006 FCT | UNL 36 Acid Rain Rain water is naturally acidic, because carbon dioxide in the atmosphere combines with water molecules to form carbonic acid. Acidic precipitation or acid deposition occurs when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere react with oxygen in the air to form sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and nitric acid (HNO), which falls to the surface as rain, snow, or dust. To be considered acid precipitation, the precipitation has to have a pH of 5.0 or lower. pH of 5.0 or lower 2. Global environmental issues

The glaciers - including the snows of Kilimanjaro - are retreating. And when they melt, the archive is gone. "Something that's really striking about the late 20th century is the scale at which the retreat has taken place," Thompson said. 2. Global environmental issues

48 Júlia Seixas & J. Joanaz Melo, 2006 FCT | UNL 48 The Challenge If we have to change our energy technologies over a relatively short period of time, where are the best alternatives? How should we invest in developing better alternatives? What are the drivers that will encourage timely development and market penetration of these technologies? Do we also have to change behaviors (and values)? Are (public) policies appropriate to tackle the challenge? 4. Thoughts and questions What can we do? In choosing careers? In our professional lives? As private | national | global citizens? How much are we willing to do?
