Global Energy Outlook
Fossil fuels have been the primary energy source so far.
BP Statistical Review of World Energy June 2014
•Fossil fuels will continue to be the primary energy source in the coming decades.
•Growth
Growth rate in global primary
rate in global primary energy consumption: +2.3%
energy consumption: +2.3%
•Currently, share of renewables: 5.3%
But, considering the increase in the TOTAL consumption of fuels by 2035, it is anticipated considering the increase in the TOTAL consumption of fuels by 2035, it is anticipated
•But,
that coal’s and oil’s relative shares will decrease and renewables will increase.

IEA’s 450 Scenario: The goal is to limit the global increase in temperature to 2°C by limiting
temperature to 2°C by limiting concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to around 450 parts per million of CO2.

ENERGY OUTLOOK ‐ Summary
•Not
Not every country is equally lucky to have enough fossil
fuel.
•Harsh
Harsh and ruthless attack on oil and natural gas
continues towards depletion of their reserves.
•Coal will continue to be one of the major primary source
of energy; though its share will tend to decrease in favor
of renewables.
•Avoidance of global warming requires to increase the
share of renewables in energy generation.

Distributed energy consists of a range of small‐scale and modular devices designed to provide electricity, and
modular devices designed to provide electricity, and sometimes also thermal energy, in locations close to consumers. They include renewable energy technologies (e.g., photovoltaic arrays, wind turbines, microturbines, reciprocating engines, fuel cells, combustion turbines, and steam turbines); energy storage devices (e.g., batteries and flywheels); and combined heat and power systems.

CONCLUSIONS
Sodium borohydride is a suitable chemical for hydrogen on demand and thus for distributed
hydrogen on demand and thus for distributed energy generation on demand and on spot.
Though, efforts should continue to lower its cost.
