Earth From Above: The End of Oil
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
The demand side of peak oil over time is concerned with the total quantity of oil that the global market would choose to consume at various possible market prices and how this entire listing of quantities at various prices would evolve over time. Total global quantity demanded of world crude oil grew an average of 1.76% per year from 1994 to 2006, with a high growth of 3.4% in 2003–2004. After reaching a high of 85.6 million barrels (13,610,000 m3) per day in 2007, world consumption decreased in both 2008 and 2009 by a total of 1.8%, despite fuel costs plummeting in 2008. Despite this lull, world quantity-demanded for oil is projected to increase 21% over 2007 levels by 2030 (104 million barrels per day (16.5×106 m3/d) from 86 million barrels (13.7×106 m3)), due in large part to increases in demand from the transportation sector. According to the IEA's 2013 projections, growth in global oil demand will be significantly outpaced by growth in production capacity over the next 5 years. The world increased its daily oil consumption from 63 million barrels (10,000,000 m3) (Mbbl) in 1980 to 85 million barrels (13,500,000 m3) in 2006. Energy demand is distributed amongst four broad sectors: transportation, residential, commercial, and industrial. In terms of oil use, transportation is the largest sector and the one that has seen the largest growth in demand in recent decades. This growth has largely come from new demand for personal-use vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. This sector also has the highest consumption rates, accounting for approximately 68.9% of the oil used in the United States in 2006, and 55% of oil use worldwide as documented in the Hirsch report. Transportation is therefore of particular interest to those seeking to mitigate the effects of peak oil. United States crude oil production peaked in 1970. In 2005, imports were twice as great as production. Although demand growth is highest in the developing world, the United States is the world's largest consumer of petroleum. Between 1995 and 2005, US consumption grew from 17,700,000 barrels per day (2,810,000 m3/d) to 20,700,000 barrels per day (3,290,000 m3/d), a 3,000,000 barrels per day (480,000 m3/d) increase. China, by comparison, increased consumption from 3,400,000 barrels per day (540,000 m3/d) to 7,000,000 barrels per day (1,100,000 m3/d), an increase of 3,600,000 barrels per day (570,000 m3/d), in the same time frame. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) stated that gasoline usage in the United States may have peaked in 2007, in part because of increasing interest in and mandates for use of biofuels and energy efficiency. As countries develop, industry and higher living standards drive up energy use, most often of oil. Thriving economies, such as China and India, are quickly becoming large oil consumers. China has seen oil consumption grow by 8% yearly since 2002, doubling from 1996 to 2006. In 2008, auto sales in China were expected to grow by as much as 15–20%, resulting in part from economic growth rates of over 10% for five years in a row. Although swift, continued growth in China is often predicted, others predict China's export-dominated economy will not continue such growth trends because of wage and price inflation and reduced demand from the United States. India's oil imports are expected to more than triple from 2005 levels by 2020, rising to 5 million barrels per day (790×103 m3/d).

Everyone ignores the big elephant in the room = Over population. Why do we need so many people on earth? For what purpose? Why does the entire world need to live like the United States? Why do we need Africa to be "developed"? Humans are spreading across the planet like a virus and depleting all its resources. Rather than constantly looking for new ways for us to keep growing and spreading like cancer.. we should consider having less kids or no kids at all.
With a smaller world population, oil could easily be replaced. The reason its so hard to replace it today is because there are too many people that require too many resources. The conspiracy theorist in me says the plan the "powers that be" have is to jack up the price of oil in the coming years so high that massive amounts of people die off from a lack of resources. With a smaller population.. it is much easier to move forward. Since there is no politically correct way to decrease the population (outside of war) it has to be done indirectly by cutting off food and medical resources to a lot of people so they just die naturally. -
What is the point of SUB-TITLES when these 2 Frenchmen are talking you do not have the chance to read the sub-titles so that part of the FILM is pointless, who has the brains to realise this before the programme goe's on you- tube, yes the Film was made for the French audience that doe's not help me who speaks English.

People will always be a slave to greed and power. They have come up with an answer 😉reduced humanity and consumption goes down=reserve😩💰👀The USA is a big dictator hiding under democracy.

At 1:30:25 the commentator says the guy's MP3 player consumes no electricity which is clearly false, it just doesn't use power from the grid

The real threat for wild life : 7 500 000 000 people in 2016 + 1 000 000 000 every decade ! That's it.

humans are greedy, is not black Gold, is the part of earth DNA. weak up humans the damage to our planets is bigger.

I wonder what 2030 going to look like? Will there be a major war for oil like World War Three in the future? There are so many questions about the future without any good answers. I do believe most people don't believe in lack of oil or dangers of nuclear power plant's waste or a melt down. Most people I met daily just think about themselves. Each day thousands of animals are killed, tons of oil burned and forests are destroyed. This path will most likely change in disaster of some kind. Who knows?

Fossil Fuels are the dinosaur of the past ,this documentary is proof that we are surrounded with free energy.These same unscrupulous corporations continue to create this climate change, then tax us with their own created carbon foot print. We are all surrounded by this free energy, it replaces all fossil fuels. This documentary maybe for some too technical for some people but caring hounded scientists have prototypes out there ready to run all our energy needs for free. https://youtu.be/ht3zkDxAjUM

When I was in high school 1966-1970, we were taught there were 400 years of coal left in the US. Now they say 200 years of coal are left. So in less than 50 years we've used 200 years worth of coal. That's pretty scary.

if could do an English dub for one, why not do it for everyone else???

We now have a new way to process coal using the indirect-direct electric arc furnace technique. 4 side horizontal electrodes and 1 top vertical hollow electrode pipe. The 5 electrodes meet and separate to form an electric arc and coal and limestone powder, mixed-blended-binder together with a little clay binder, pellets falls through the arc plasma zone. The reaction is instantaneous and simultaneous. The lime reacts with the coal to remove the sulfur and other impurities forming gypsum while the coal vaporizes into a volatile gas which is then condensed and cooled forming a oily like substance technically oil itself. It is then processed into pure, unadulterated gasoline, diesel, kerosene, aviation gasoline, etc. Especially petro-chemicals used for making plastics and synthetic rubber. We can also use wood and any biomass successfully for the same purpose, even garbage! Which begs the question. Why is it such a very simple and straight forward technological technique was not used since the 70s is something to make very suspicious. The same process can also be used for metallizing iron ore for electric arc furnaces, making cement clinkers and pre-vitrified clay to be grinded into powder for making clay products and cement products.

more and more ass sniffing bullshit, relax frenchie within decade or 2 there will be no europe!! that will cut consumption!!!

During WW II millions of cars, trucks, and vans in Europe run on wood gasifiers and the same can be said for America during WW II. These wood gasifier fuelled cars, vans, delivery trucks delivering-transporting food and medicines and mail and whatever, tractors, earth moving equipment, agricultural equipment and tractors, buses, power generators providing power for all kinds of factories and freezers and refrigerators and chillers for food preservation and storage are common in WW II Europe. They can also use woody grasses, shrubs, coppiced and/or pollarded trees, dried grasses, agricultural wastes, any dry plant biomass, even on raw coal and coke! So what's the problem? It is so easy to do it again, in fact, even during the last several months of WW II many German military vehicles has conversion kits to make them run on wood, all kinds of dry plant biomass, even raw coal or coke!

COAL AND WOOD BURNING VEHICLES OF WWII
Due to severe shortages of gasoline, many civilian vehicles in Europe and Japan were converted to operate on gases generated from coal or wood. The gases would be condensed to liquid form and fed to the carburetor. The condensed liquid hydrocarbons would form a fuel of relatively high volatility that would be sufficient to operate the gasoline engine.

HOLZBRENNER VOLKSWAGENS
(1942-1945)

Holzbrenner “Wood-burning” Volkswagen Kübelwagen during WW2
In WWII, Europe was in a real fuel shortage. Oil imports were largely blocked, and what oil was available was used for aviation and tank fuel. Germany had a lot of coal, but no oil deposits. To make up for their huge lack of oil, German ingenuity turned to gasification of coal to make synthetic fuel. To run cars without using their precious oil, the German government and many European civilians tried a method of running a car by burning wood, and it apparently worked! Ford, GM, and other car manufacturers made kits, and many cars were converted to run on wood, either using a mass produced conversion kit, or a homemade version. A car using a factory built kit would run for 100,000 miles fairly problem free.
The way this worked was that wood was heated until it began to break down chemically. When wood burns in a normal fire, the wood decomposes chemically due to the heat, and some of the gasses produced by the wood are flammable, and they burn as they are released. That is the flame that you see.
With the WWII era wood burning cars, however, wood was heated to a temperature hot enough to decompose the wood, but the gas was not allowed to burn. It was stored in a chamber, and injected into the cylinders of a regular internal combustion car. Some of the German made wood-burning cars were the VW Kdf Wagen (postwar Beetle), and the German Army Kübelwagen.
GERMAN/ALLIED BATTLEFIELD SYNTHETIC FUEL USAGE
During WWII, it was not unusual for some German tanks to be towed to a combat staging area. Once at the battlefront, the tanks would then be converted to burn synthetic fuel in battle. The tide of war had turned against Germany when the synthetic fuel plants were bombed and fuel production stopped. So the SS had developed a series of wood-burning electrical generators, vehicle engine conversion kits, and armored vehicle conversion kits. They were called “Holzbrenners” (Wood burners) and were made primarily by Porsche.

possibly with a synthetic fuel conversion kit
In 1944, US Army General George Patton was speeding across Germany with the objective of being the first Allied force to reach Berlin. His forces outpaced his supply lines and his progress stopped. Patton ordered that synthetic fuel be drained from captured or abandoned German vehicles and some of Patton's Sherman tanks and personnel carries were converted to run on synthetic fuel.

That veggie bus is the biggest bullshit I have ever seen, and they called it a part of solution, where are you gonna find enough bio material to satisfy even 10% of world oil need, let alone 100%??? You killed Tesla and burned his research now reap the whirlwind!!!

@ 41:10 dude, we were all children once, and like us -those kids will grow up to be consumers cause they are being programmed to do so, so i think your optimism is unreasonable
-
37:15 what does he say to them?? ''You have to ''geizure??'' on this one???
-
next century there will be big problems,there's enough oil,coal,gas,uranium to keep it growing most of this century.
-
another social media in the work, all the hot air talk on oil, on population, they have been talking about this for decades, the world will be better off without the meddling and the fake media machinations of the American and the west.
