BP The Case on Alternative Energy Akiko Sugiyama Andrea Vitalich Shawn Wallace Owen Hunter Wagenhals Daniel Yorton Western Washington University Management 495: Strategic Management March 13, 2006 Introduction The world’s fossil fuel supplies are expected to be exhausted within the next century. The consumption of oil by industrialized and industrializing countries is increasing at a rate almost twice as fast as the rate oil is being discovered. With this in mind there are many nations,

undermined by that failure." New initiatives are meant to reduce oil consumption President Barack Obama made some big campaign promises about energy consumption, and this was one of them. Specifically, he pledged to reduce oil consumption by 35 percent in 2030. So far, it's hard to quantify exactly how many barrels of oil Obama's nascent energy efficiency initiatives, alternative fuel programs and fuel efficiency standards have offset, but it's clear he has gotten the ball rolling on this

crisis, a new group of experts in finance, energy and the environment have come together to propose a ‘Green New Deal’ for the UK. And, as the Green New Deal Group launch their proposals, new analysis suggests that from the end of July 2008 there is only 100 months, or less, to stabilise concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere before we hit a potential point of no return. The Green New Deal is a response to the credit crunch and wider energy and food crises, and to the lack of comprehensive

aspirations on climate change: The Uk concern about climate change became evident in 2003, with the Energy White paper detailing the new energy policy to ensure that energy, the environment and economic growth would be properly and sustainably integrated with goals like 10% of electricity generation by 2010 and 20% by 2020. It was reinforced by the publishing of the 2007 Energy white paper: Meeting the Energy Challenge which outlines the Government’s international and domestic strategy for responding

AND TERMINOLOGY The current survey covers projects and contracts funded by international and bilateral donors (see list of donors in appendix 1) in Western Africa, in the sector of infrastructures: Water, Vertical Structure, Transport, Energy, Renewable Energy, Waste, Healthcare Buildings, and Information & Communication Technology. The section on awarded contracts covers a period of time starting on January 1st 2008 and ending February 2nd 2011. It includes contracts awarded in this period. Several

transformation of solar energy ("photon") into electricity ("Volt") was discovered in 1839, by the French physicist A.E.Becquerel. Its use in industry only began in the 1960's, mainly for space industry applications. Then, in the 1970's to others applications have been invented to respond initially to industrial needs, but eventually to the isolated spaces. The current context is in favor of photovoltaic. The photovoltaic solar energy is able to meet a growing demand for renewable energy. It is considered

I would like to introduce this graph because I think renewable energies are tomorrow’s energies. Through this graph, we can observe that renewable energies are less used than natural energies like Oil, Gas or coal. Nevertheless, we also notice that in 2095, the renewable energies will be much more used than in 1965. It’s a good hope for our environment and the earth. Now, I will explain this graph in more details. [pic]http://www.courtfool.info.fr I will start with the oil growth

sustainable development in France. There was many subjects talked as climate change, energy, protection of environment, ecological way for economics development. Many measures were taken, like : • the search for new energies (raise solar energy of 600%) • the widening of French railway (2000 km) and fall CO2 discharge • put a ecological tax against polluting cars • fall the house’s consumption of energy • raise green economy So we can see that France wants to debate on Sustainable

2,042 GWh in 2010, 51,583 GWh was generated under the ordinary regime in Spain, which represents a decrease of 4.5%. Meanwhile, Endesa’s mainland output under the special regime amounted to 459 GWh, having fallen by 82.5% due to the sale of renewable energy assets to the Acciona Group in June 2009 and to EGP in March 2010. In total, the company’s non-mainland output rose by 1.6% from 2009 to 14,257 GWh. Endesa holds a 38.9% stake in Tejo Energía, the owner of the Pego coal-fired power station

global warming and climate change) • The rural development interests Indeed, the exhaustion of the oil reserves that has increased since a score of years leads governments to set up policies supporting alternative energy resources. And biofuels seem to be the only “renewable” alternative to oil fuels, especially in the transport sector, where biofuels can be mixed with gasoline or diesel. Furthermore, the use of biofuels in equal volumes with gasoline or diesel may reduce the greenhouse gas
