Arno A. Evers and his FAIR-PR team:
Online Research: > Daniela Peschka, Starnberg
IT: > Ulrich Felger
Graphic Design: > Thomas Schirmaier, Munich, Germany
Coauthor: > Ulrich Walter, Marburg

This background information is based on personal experience and first hand information on site all over the world, while attending 10 to 15 international hydrogen and fuel cells conferences per year since 2003

Everyone is most welcome to use, forward and/or and reprint these Energy Images for personal information, educational purposes and/or commercial studies.

1. Energy Balances
 
1.1 World Energy Balance
   
World Wide Energy Production by Source 1860 – 2021 World Wide Energy Production by Source 1860 – 2021
   
Earth's Energy Balance
The earth energy balance represents the balance between incoming energy from the Sun Sand thermal (longwave) and reflected (shortwave) energy from the Earth. The energy released from the Sun in one hour would be adequate to cover the energy needs of the entire world population for one year.
   
Global Energy Flows in watts / m2 / sec
Estimate of the Earth’s annual and global mean energy balance. Over the long term, the amount of incoming solar radiation absorbed by the Earth and atmosphere is balanced by the Earth and atmosphere releasing the same amount of outgoing longwave radiation. About half of the incoming solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth’s surface.
   
World Energy Balance 2007
Current energy systems are based on coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear fission, depending on the circumstances in a given country and its access to today’s “cheapest”, not necessarily on the most viable, primary energy resources. 88 percent (!) of our energy supply in 2007 was from fossil or nuclear origin.
   
World Energy Balance, Comparison 1973 to 2007
The total final consumption (TFC) worldwide grew from 4,675 Mtoe in 1973 to 8,286 Mtoe in 2007 with 88 percent derived from the combustion of fossil fuels and nuclear power. This is equivalent to an average power consumption rate of 96,349 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2007.
   
World Energy Balance 2005
This graphic presents the World Energy Balance of the year 2005 according to a report edited by the International Energy Agency in its publication "Key World Energy Statistics 2007"...

Germany and the energy transition? Germany and the energy transition?
   
Despite energy turnaround (Energiewende): Only few changes in the lossy energy infrastructure of Germany from 2003 to 2019 Despite energy turnaround (Energiewende): Only few changes in the lossy energy infrastructure of Germany from 2003 to 2019
   
Despite energy turnaround (Energiewende): Only few changes in the lossy energy infrastructure of Germany from 2003 to 2018 Despite energy turnaround (Energiewende): Only few changes in the lossy energy infrastructure of Germany from 2003 to 2018
Contrary to the allegations of the government and its subordinate authorities, since 2003 Germany has failed to comply with national and international commitments to save energy and reduce its environmental pollution obligations.
   
Systemic losses in the Energy Infrastructure Systemic losses in the Energy Infrastructure of Germany 2018
   
Systemic losses in the Energy Infrastructure Systemic losses in the Energy Infrastructure of Germany 2017
In an energy balance, the generation, conversion and use of energy sources in a national economy for a certain period of time is proven as completely as possible and in detail. We have used the balance sheet created by the AG Energiebilanzen e.V. since 1995 as a basis for our own graphics.
   
Energy-lnfrastructure in Germany Comparison 2015 to 2011
   
Data 2015:
Systemic losses in Germany's energy infrastructure ... far beyond Imagination!!!

The systemic losses in "our" German energy infrastructure are far greater, than most people can imagine or want to know.
   
Data 2011:
Systemic losses in Germany's energy infrastructure ... far beyond Imagination!!!

The systemic losses in "our" German energy infrastructure are far greater, than most people can imagine or want to know.
   
Energy Balance Germany 2017 Energy Balance Germany 2017
   
Energy Balance Germany 2011
   
Energy Balance Germany 2008
This statistic shows the high amount of flaring and transmission losses, which are approx. 22 percent of the primary energy being produced in Germany in 2008. Should all the energy be used for the German industry alone be eliminated to ZERO, this still would save less than the flaring and transmission losses (90.3 compared to 121.8 t.c.e - Tonnes Coal Equivalents).
   
Energy Balance Germany 2007
For decades Germany’s autonomy has been put at risk through its dependence on other countries for its primary energy supply. In 2007, 84 percent of Germany’s primary energy was imported. Germany is, like many other countries, importing coal, crude oil, natural gas and uranium for nuclear energy. Coal / peat is by far the most used primary energy for the production of electricity in power plants.
   
Energy Balance Germany 1979 - 2007
The graphs show the energy flow in Germany from the year 1979, created and published by Dipl.-Ing. Dr.-Ing. E.h. Ludwig Bölkow in his book, "Decisions for a long-term energy policy" (published 1982).
   
Renewable Energies in Germany 2019
We have analysed the current figures from the German Federal Environment Agency from 2019 for you. In relation to the total of 457.6 TWh (billion kWh) of renewable energies in Germany, wind energy and photovoltaic together make up only 37.9%, hydro-power 4.2%.
   
Renewable energy sources as a share of energy supply in Germany 2011
   
Renewable energy sources as a share of energy supply in Germany 2008
The expansion of renewable energy sources in Germany continues undamped. Their share of the total final energy consumption has more than doubled since 2000, and now stands at 9.5 percent of the total final energy consumption or to be more precise: at 15.1 percent of the total electricity consumption, 7.7 percent of the heat and 5.9 percent of the fuel consumption.
   
Renewable Energies in Germany 2007
According to estimates by the Association of Energy Balances e.V., the primary energy consumption in Germany in 2007 accounted for 13,878 petajoules (PJ) and decreased by 4.8 percent compared to the previous year...
   
Balance of electricity supply Germany 2007 Balance of electricity supply Germany 2007
This energy image shows the energy consumption in Germany in the year 2007 as stated by the Association of Energy Balances e.V. The gross power generation of power plants was with approx 636.5 billion kWh similar to the one of 2006. The share of nuclear power with 140.5 billion kWh in the gross electricity production fell by 22.1% and dropped behind the shares of coals. Electricity generation from wind energy increased significantly by almost 29 % to 39.5 billion kWh...
   
Energy Balance Germany 2006 Energy Balance Germany 2006
This statistic shows the high amount of flaring and transmission losses, which are more than a quarter of the primary energy being produced in Germany alone and bought from other nations, being used inside Germany in 2006...
   
Energy Balance Germany 2005 compared to 2006 Energy Balance Germany 2005 compared to 2006
In 2006 the primary energy consumption increased by 2.5 percent to 497.8 million t.c.e. This can be seen in the Energy Balance 2006 for Germany from the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Energiebilanzen e.V. ...
