Forms of Energy
• Primary energy
– embodied in resources
as it is found in nature
• Final energy – sold to final
consumers such as households or firms
(electricity, diesel, processed natural gas)
• Useful energy – in the form that is
used: light, heat, cooling and mechanical
power (stationary or transport)

A sua unidade física depende da forma de energia, kWh na eletricidade, litros na gasolina, m3 no gás natural, kg no fuelóleo e propano.

Energy Units and Scales
• How much energy we ingest daily?
• How much energy do you spend per
• Joule (J)
- A force of 1 N moving an object for 1 m
• Calorie (cal)
- Heat 1g of water at 14.5º by 1ºC (4,186J)
• Watt hour (Wh)
- 1J/s x 3600 s =3600 J
• Ton of oil equivalent (toe)
- The amount of energy released by burning one ton of crude oil, approximately 41,9 GJ /11,630 MWh / 7,4 barrels of oil
• Ton of coal equivalent (tce)
- The amount of energy released by burning one ton of coal, approximately 29,3

• In early agricultural societies
– 10-20 GJ/capita/year
• 2/3 for food and feed
• 1/3 for cooking, heating and early industrial activities
• In UK in the mid-19
thcentury
– 100 GJ/capita/year

Bars - Primary energy use*
White - industrialized countries Gray - developing countries
Gestão de Energia15/16
• Primary energy use increased more than 20-fold in 200 years
• Heterogeneity in per capita primary energy use:
• In industrialized countries population increased linearly while primary energy use increased exponentially until recently
• In developing countries energy use increased proportionally to population until recently
• Primary Energy Mix ?
Primary Energy Use 1800-2000
Gestão de Energia15/16
• Mostly biomass in 1850
• Increasing diversification of energy vectors
Gestão de Energia15/16
Primary Energy Mix 1800-2040
• Energy Transition: The switch from an economic system
dependent on one or a series of energy sources and
technologies to another (Fouquet & Pearson, 2012)

UK 1800-2000
• Regular expansion of
energy services in 19
th– dominated by heat and transport
• High volatility
– due to political and economic
events
• Moderated growth after 1950
– Decline in industrial energy services compensated by strong growth in
transport
• Saturated at a level of 6 EJ or 100 GJ/capita
What is Final Energy used for?
Gestão de Energia15/16
From Primary Energy to Energy Services
• Increasing efficiencies in converting primary energy to
energy services
– Ranges between a factor of 5 for transportation and 600 for lighting
Gestão de Energia15/16
• Lower prices of energy services
– Ranges between a factor of 10 for heating and 70 for lighting
