SURVEY OF ENERGY
RESOURCES
WEC’s flagship publication since 1934
Triennial
Unique reserves data on coal, oil, natural gas,
uranium and nuclear, renewables, peat, oil shale,
tidal, OTEC, natural bitumen and extra-heavy oil,
wave and wood
Expert commentary
Data tables and graphs
Country information
SER MAIN CONCLUSIONS
Global reserves of main fossil fuels are
enough for the foreseeable future
Renewable energy will grow quickly but
will not increase much in share of global
energy mix

Outlook
55% increase in global energy demand
between 2000 and 2020
Dev. Countries
1998 2020 2100
35% 50% 70%
US$20 trillion (3-4% of world GDP)
required for energy investment
Oil
No. 1 energy source
Geopolitical priority
64% in the Middle East (20% in Saudi
Arabia)
2% growth in consumption p.a.
R/P Ratio - 42 years
Crude Oil Reserves
North America
Asia
O ceania
Europe
South America
Africa
Middle East
Coal
Abundant but “dirty” (Clean coal
technologies)
Total recoverable reserves: 910 billion
tonnes - more than 200 years
72 countries (USA, Russia, China,
Australia, India and Germany hold over
75%)
27% of global primary energy demand,
40% of electricity
Proven Global Coal Reserves
So uth America
M id d le Eas t (0 .0 5%)
Africa
Oceania
As ia
Euro p e
No rth America
Natural Gas
High conversion efficiency
Environmentally benign
Geopolitical concerns
Europe - 40%, Middle East - 35%
R/P Ratio - 70 years
Proven Reserves of Natural Gas
South America
Oceania
North America
Africa
Middle East
Asia
Europe
Uranium and Nuclear
16-17% of world’s electricity
Huge uranium reserves
440 plants in 31 countries (end 2003)
Most current expansion in Asia
Poor public acceptance
High capital costs
Spent fuel, decommissioning
Renewables
Hydropower
The best source of renewable energy
Used in more than 150 countries
17% of world’s electricity
Carbon-free
Capital intensive
Huge potential – only 33% developed
Wood
5% of global primary energy supply
Wide variations between regions
Asia = 42%
Africa = 27%
Central & North America = 14%
Latin America = 10%
Europe = 6%
Important for developing and rural
economies
Bioenergy
Potentially the world’s largest and most
sustainable fuel resource
Finland & Sweden = 15-20% primary
energy
Emerging technologies
High operating cost
Solar Energy
Important energy source
Widely distributed
Relatively low conversion efficiency
Suitable for small-scale domestic use
Cultural/political challenges
High production costs
Current Use of Solar
Wind
One of the fastest growing energy
technologies
Widely available but centred in Europe
Economically competitive in remote
areas
Improving technological solutions
Growing generating capacity
Other Renewables
