Given their significance for the vital functions of industrial societies and their potential for climate change, future developments in fossil fuel production ( petrol, natural gas, coal ), will have to buy us time for energy transition. Energy transition will be the move from a society living off fossil fuels to a society forced to do without them. Geologists are saying that the geological constraints of fossil fuel extraction are now such that the amount of primary energy that fossil fuels will make available globally each year, all sources combined, could start to decline from 2025-2030. Given that the world’s population is still growing rapidly, this decline will be even more significant expressed as a global per capita decline. The Deadlines Oil Oil will be first of the fossil fuels to show a decline; the volume of oil, covering the liquid fossil fuels (includes conventional oil, non-conventional oils (shale […]
