What does all this mean?
More than 85% of the world’s current energy needs are met through fossil
fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. Demand for energy is projected to
increase primarily in developing countries that are beginning to use more
electricity and develop technologically.
Does this mean we will run out of fossil fuels?
Not for a very long time. But as a result of technological
advancements, expansion of all economic energy sources
are happening: coal, nuclear, biomass, other renewables,
unconventional oil and natural gas. Options like these are
part of a concept called energy sustainability.

Environmental Issues
Producing the energy that drives the world’s economy has an
impact on the environment, but energy companies and
governments work to make that impact as small as possible.
Industry practices of safe operations and environmental protection have
evolved significantly in the past few decades. Technology improvements
enable us to conduct many aspects of our operations far more efficiently
now than just a decade ago.
To find out more about this, take a
look at SPE’s Energy4Me website
