3. Energy is the capacity of a physical system to
perform work.
Energy exists in several forms such as heat,
kinetic or mechanical energy, light, potential
energy, electrical, or other forms.
According to the law of conservation of energy,
the total energy of a system remains constant,
though energy may transform into another form.

4. Energy crisis
DEMANDS IN ENERGY
INCREASING LACK OF ENERGY

5. An energy crisis is any great bottleneck (or
price rise) in the supply of energy resources to
an economy.
The supply of energy is far less than its
demands can effect the whole mankind to run
towards the development or daily purposes
that crisis is called energy crisis

6. Oil crisis
energy
shortage
petroleum
crisis
electricity
shortage or
electricity
crisis.

7. With the development
of economy, more and
more energy is needed

“The
Energy
Crisis Has
Arrived”

9. Oil crisis
• Supply—Demand
Imbalance
Over –consumption
Choke point disruption or
bottlenecks at oil refineries
• Port facilities that restrict
fuel supply

10. When the maximum rate of
global petroleum
extraction is reached, after
which the rate of
production enters terminal
decline, that’s called peak
oil. These shows the long
term deny for the
availability of petroleum
products
Emerging oil shortage

11. Political eventsIndustrial actions
Energy
crisis
Union organized strikes
Government embargoes
Regime change
Monarchy collapse
Military occupation
Coup
Over-consumption
(cold winters)
Ageing infrastructure
Infrastructure damage from
severe weather
Attacks by terrorists or
militiary on important
infrastructure

12.  More population, the more
use of earth,results emptying
the earth using excessive
non-renweable sustances for
survival.
 The increased population
desires more products to
use, results in using more
energy to make those
products in order to provide
more infractructures.
OVER POPULATION SQUEEZES THE EARTH

13. Car using earth’s Non renewalbe
Materials i.e as the Number of
facilities
Increases then chances of crisis
is maximum.
Increased in infractructures and
the development of industries
itself Can also cause the crisis of
energy if proper Usage is
forbidden. For an example in
order to generate electricity the
huge mass of non renewable
substances are used and also the
number of increasing
infrastructures like vehicles and
electronic goods can also be the
reason to evolve crisis

15. Attacks by terrorists
on important
infrastructures
Political events Over
careless consumption
of energy resourses
Wars between the
countries
e.g. Attack in iraq

Electricity
consumers may
experience
intentionally-
engineered rolling
blackouts during
periods of insufficient
supply or unexpected
power outages
New technology and
energy efficiency
measures become
desirable for
consumers seeking to
decrease transport
costs.
Social
effects

Industrialized
nations which
dependent on oil
would have an
adverse effect on
the economies of
oil producers.
Economic
effects
• Tourism
• The development
of coastal area

19. More oil drilling
More use of nuclear
power and coal
Passing a windfall profits tax to
assure that the oil companies did
not become too rich

20. Imposing taxes to
assure that the price
of gasoline did not fall
Forcing to raise the
fuel efficiency of cars
Smaller, More Efficient
Vehicles
