3. 3 Energy Definition

4. What is Energy? 4 It is the ability to do work. Energy is the power to change things. It makes us grow and move and think. It runs our TVs and our cars. It bakes cakes and keeps milk cold. It warms our bodies and homes. It gives us light. Energy helps us do things.

5. Nature of Energy Energy is all around you! –Y–You can hear energy as sound. –Y–You can see energy as light. –A–And you can feel it as wind.

6. Forms of Energy The five main forms of energy are: – Heat – Chemical – Electromagnetic – Nuclear – Mechanical

7. 7 Key facts about energy and the EU

8. 33% of all energy in EU is used for transport 26% of all energy in EU is used by industry 41% of all energy in EU is used in buildings 2/3 of energy consumption in buildings is used for heating, cooling and ventilation The energy within the EU

9. The Problem “The challenges of transforming Europe’s energy system remain urgent : The EU currently imports approx. 55% of its energy – and might reach 70% in the next 20 to 30 years. In 2030 the EU will be importing 84% of its gas, 59% of its coal and 94% of its oil. In these circumstances, it is obvious that the challenge to satisfy the energy needs is big.”

10. 10 The EU energy mix is slowly changing Fossil fuels represent up to 80% of our energy mix today. In a “business as usual” scenario, the share may still be 70% by 2030, but renewable sources are expected to account for an increasing proportion.

11. 11 A key sector for the economy In 2008, the European electricity market was worth around 620 billion Euros. This figure represents 5% of EU GDP. In 2007, the total number of employees in the energy sector was 1.6 million, representing 1.3% of the EU economy. This represents highly qualified jobs (average personnel costs per employee in the energy sector were 40% above the average). Energy costs represent 1% to 10 % of industrial production costs (excluding personnel costs). Source: Eurostat 2011

12. 12 Dependence on imports is likely to grow Today, Europe imports more than half of the energy it uses. If nothing changes, our dependence on fossil fuel imports will rise by 2030.

Diversification of routes and sources is a strategic priority for the EU. in % (2008, total = 561,46 Mt) in % (2008, total = 12,958,133 TJ)

21. Conclusion 6/4/2016 21 EU will become increasingly dependent on oil and gas imports from a turbulent neighborhood. By 2030, EU will import 90% of its oil and 80% of its gas requirements it was felt that energy security is an elusive concept. threat assessment depends on different energy choices from country to country. Different challenges also emerge depending on whether energy security is regarded over the short term or long term. Growing EU dependence on energy imports cannot be averted but can be mitigated. The focus lies on diversification (of suppliers, transport routes and energy mix) and on investment in new technologies and renewable. EU can be fully as the largest market for energy imports. The EU needs to develop and implement a coherent and focused energy security strategy, delivering added value to what Member States and market actors can do. Energy can be a source of cooperation but also of conflict.
