- urban energy
- clear difference between rural and urban consumption of energy - 75% of global energy is consumed in urban areas
- largely secondary energy e.g national and international supply lines
- rural areas have been without secondary energy sources due to lack of resources and finances for infrastructure
- as renewables have become more affordable, some nations have installed solar panels to provide electricity - Peru installed 500,000 between 2006 and 2015
- clear difference between rural and urban consumption of energy - 75% of global energy is consumed in urban areas
- energy mix
- UK used less energy in 2015 vs 1998 due to energy saving tech such as central heating
- UK is using more renewable energy - relies on imported energy as decline in ff in the North Sea means UK has an energy deficiency
- primary energy sources - used in raw form e.g ff, nuclear energy
- used to generate electricity, which is a secondary energy source
- secondary energy flows through power lines to reach homes
- non-renewable energy sources are finite, renewables can be constantly reused
- in 2015, 25% of UK energy came from renewable sources
- urban energy
