The ever-rising energy requirement is a universal problem. In 2011, the total global energy consumption amounted to around 12000 MTOE (million ton oil equivalents), corresponding with 500 ExaJoule, while the energy production was estimated around 12500 MTOE. Calculations for 2030 predict an energy consumption of around 17000 MTOE, in other words 700 ExaJoule, and clearly indicate imminent problems. 1 The combination of a rising world population ...
