Peaking of world oil production

Abstract

Nonrenewable and renewable energy sources make up the two major energy categories of interest to our industrial civilization. Nonrenewable energy Non-renewable energy includes different fossil fuels Fossil fuels coal Fossil fuels gas(coal, oil, natural gas) that were formed over millions of years, as well as nuclearNuclear. Once used, they are no longer available in any time period of interest to humans. Renewable energy Renewable energy, on the other hand, is so-called free energy, such as the sun (solar), wind, biomass Biomass, by-products of fermentation or decomposing organic matter (alcohol, biodiesel, methane)Methane, geothermal, etc., that only has to be harnessed, used, or converted to another form, for example, electricity. Any evaluation of fossil-fuel energy and proposed alternatives requires knowledge of the interrelations between heat, work, and internal energy of a system, in other words, the study of thermodynamics.
