Abstract

Even if this part is dedicated to solutions, it would be incomplete without a mention of some constraints or drawbacks related to our energy sources. Some of them have to do with the inherent difficulties associated with any large-scale implementation of our energetic solutions and others, sadly, with casualties generated by these energy sources.

Vorheriges Kapitel Non-fossil Energy Sources

Nächstes Kapitel A Toy Model

With this definition in mind, it takes \(1/e\) J to get 1 J of a given source of EROI \(e\). Therefore, any Joule recovered only counts for \((1-1/e)\) J. Mitigation of the numbers in Table 6.3 eventually amounts to multiply them by a factor \((1-1/e)\).

According to Tainter and Patzek [4, p. 208], this has definitely something to do with the accidents related to the upper mentioned platforms.

Warning: the world of non-conventional oil is a jungle. Besides shale oil/tight oil, you have tar sands, extra heavy oil or even biofuels that some count in the category. Though not obvious for the newcomer, Shale oil and oil shale are two completely different things. And so on. The Wikipedia page on “Unconventional oil” is a good start to sort things out.

It can be done by simply rescaling the production and the consumption.

Medicine exploits this very process to cure hyperthyroidism. Also, Fukushima residents were given iodide pills to saturate their thyroid with healthy iodine before the coming of the radioactive one.

See Wikipedia article on Sievert for a starter on this and the other units related to radioactivity.

About 5,000 Bq from potassium-40 [39, p. 39].

There were more than 1 reactor in trouble in Fukushima.

Quite small indeed, around 5 %. The rest can be recycled [53].

See the “Desertec” project for example, www.desertec.org.

There are neutronless and tritiumless fusion reactions, like \(\mathrm{D}+\mathrm{He3} \rightarrow \mathrm{He4}+\mathrm{p}\). But they require even more energy than \(\mathrm{D} + \mathrm{T}\).

Just solve \(1.2\times 10^{17}(1.3)^n=5.3\times 10^{21}/2\), where is \(n\) the number of years.
