This textbook provides broad coverage of energy supply and use. It
discusses how energy is produced, transformed, delivered to end
users, and consumed. The author discusses all of this at an
undergraduate level, accessible to students of varying backgrounds.
High-level and human-scale perspectives are included. As a
high-level example, the book discusses the shares of global primary
energy that are provided by oil, gas, coal, hydroelectricity, and
renewables, as well as trends in energy consumption and supply over
time. Human-scale examples will resonate with readers' every day
experiences. The link between economic development and energy
consumption is presented, which facilitates understanding of how
global energy consumption growth is inevitable as economic
development occurs. Coverage includes separate chapters on the oil,
natural gas, coal, and electricity sectors. Each of these provides
high-level descriptions of the technology involved in the
production of that type of energy as well as the processing and
transportation that occurs to bring the energy to end users. The
book discusses the technological implications of energy transitions
such as increased use of renewables or changes in the use of
nuclear energy using Germany and Japan as examples. It closes with
a discussion of future energy use.
