Product Description

To meet the huge global demand for energy, all energy sources will be needed. Different sources of energy will suit different countries and different environments. Depending on the availability of natural resources, a decision may be taken between coal and gas as the most viable means of powering base load electricity. In many cases both will have a role to play. Nuclear technology may be available in some countries and not others. Renewable energy will have a particular role to play in providing off grid electricity and in meeting peak demand. In countries where there is a significant coal resource, it is likely to be the preferred fuel for supplying base load electricity. In many cases this will be a matter of affordability and security.
