BP
Our main activities are the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas; refining, marketing, supply and transportation; and the manufacture and marketing of petrochemicals. We also have a growing presence in gas and power and in solar power generation.
BP Statistical Review of World Energy
Thus publication presents country-level data on energy production, use, prices and reserves dating back to 1965 in available in ZIP, XLS, and PDF formats. A new energy charting tool allows the user to view pre-determined reports for each type of energy or chart specific data according to energy type on a regional and annual basis. Charts and graphs can be created as images for exporting.
Energy Matters: Crisis! - The Game
This game simulates the energy crisis situation that scientists predict will occur sometime in the 21st century. As man continues to deplete the world's natural reserves, alternatives to harnessing energy must be discovered.
Ask an Energy Expert
Three easy ways for users to find answers to their energy questions. 1. Experts answer the energy questions you've been asking in these areas: Petroleum (oil, gasoline, diesel), Electricity, General Energy, Conversion/Equivalents. 2. If users did not find the question they were looking for they can type their question and submit it with their email address. Or, 3. Ask an expert directly via telephone or email.
Fundamentals of Energy Processes
Examination of physical and chemical processes behind some non-traditional energy processes. The course starts with a discussion of available energy resources. Next, we will look into the minimum of thermodynamics necessary for the understanding of the different energy processes in the rest of the course. We then consider conventional heat engines, and will investigate thermoelectric generators and refrigerators. Finally, we will consider wind turbines.
IEA Energy Statistics
Contains up to date data on the supply, transformation, and consumption of all major energy sources for OECD and non-OECD countries. The page also contains printable graphs by country and various surveys.
Teaching About Energy
This book deals with energy from the sun, plants, animals, wind and water and with storing and conserving energy. Activities include investigations, experiments, games, design and build projects and demonstrations from which teachers can select those which are suitable for their classes. There are also a number of photocopiable sheets for pupils to work on in class or at home.
Applied Energy
Applied Energy provides a forum for information and ideas in the areas of energy conversion, conservation and the optimal management and use of energy and power resources. The journal publishes original papers, reports and reviews, and authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts which bridge the gaps between research, development and implementation. The breadth of coverage ranges from ambient energy, through combustion and processes of electricity release, to the economic use of power in industry. Applied Energy is also concerned with the attendant problems of modeling and forecasting, conservation strategies, and the environmental and social impacts of energy policies and usage.
Energy Matters: Energy Through History
Energy's influence on man from the earliest ages. Including a detailed section on the Middle East Oil Crisis of the 1970's.
Conversion Factors and Heat Content
This site provides links to Excel spreadsheets containg time-series data for: Barrels of Crude Oil per Metric Ton, 1980-2002; Gross Heat Content of Crude Oil, 1980-2002; Gross Heat Content of Natural Gas Plant Liquids, 1980-2002; Gross Heat Content of Dry Natural Gas Production, 1980-2003; Gross Heat Content of Dry Natural Gas Consumption, 1980-2003; Gross Heat Content of Coal Production, 1980-2002; Gross Heat Content of Hydroelectric Power, 1980-2002; Gross Heat Content of Nuclear Electric Power, 1980-2002; Gross Heat Content of Geothermal Electric Power, 1980-2002; Gross Heat Content of Solar and Wood and Waste Electric Power, 1980-2002; Gross Heat Content of Wind Electric Power, 1980-2002
Energy Conversion and Management
The Journal will provide a forum for publishing original contributions and comprehensive technical review articles of interdisciplinary and original research in static and dynamic energy conversion; energy efficiency and management; heat pipes; thermosyphons and capillary pumped loops; thermal management of spacecraft; space and terrestrial power systems; hydrogen production and storage; renewable energy; nuclear power; single and combined cycles; miniaturized energy conversion and power systems; fuel cells and advanced batteries; and water management and desalination. Papers of high technical merit addressing significant advances in the field and state-of-the-art developments are sought. All sources, forms, storage, and uses and all conversion phenomena of energy are appropriate, whether static or dynamic conversion systems and processes and energy storage.
USGS's Energy Resource Program
The USGS Energy Resources Program addresses the challenge of increasing demand for affordable energy from environmentally acceptable energy sources by conducting basic and applied research on geologic energy resources and on the environmental, economic, and human health impacts of their production and use. The Program provides reliable and impartial scientific information and comprehensive analyses of oil, natural gas, and coal resources of the Nation and the World.
Energy Matters
Attempts to answer the question "Why should we be worried about the world's energy supply?" It contains a history of energy and explains the physics of energy. Energy Matters discusses the different types of energy sources and has an interactive game.
Energy Matters: The Physics of Energy
Energy as defined by the laws of physics and how physics influences how and why we can obtain energy.
Energy Conversion and Management
Research, development, design, application, construction, installation, and operation of electric power generating facilities (along with their conventional, nuclear, or renewable sources) for the safe, reliable, and economic generation of electrical energy for general industrial, commercial, public, and domestic consumption, and electromechanical energy conversion for the use of electrical energy.
Energy Sources
Energy Sources, a peer-reviewed, international, interdisciplinary journal of science and technology, serves as a publication medium for the investigation of trends in and solutions to resolving the issues of continuing increase in worldwide demand for energy, the diminishing accessibility of natural energy resources, and the growing impact of energy use on the environment. The technological, scientific and environmental aspects of energy from coal, geothermal energy, natural gas, nuclear energy, oil shale, organic waste, petroleum, solar energy, tar, sand, and wind are addressed. Energy Sources publishes full-length research articles dealing with completed research projects and invited review papers reporting on the state of the art in extraction and conversion of energy sources, as well as on their impact on the environment. Review articles will also be considered after consultation with the Editor. Energy Sources is also willing to consider publishing selected proceedings from a conference or a collection of papers dealing with a single topic. The journal is a useful resource to chemists and engineers in the energy field.
In-Depth
Energy Matters: Types of Energy Sources
