Abstract

Danas kada razmišljamo o izvorima energije, najčešće spominjemo ugljen, naftu, plin,
nuklearnu energiju, hidroenergiju, solarna energiju, energija vjetra i bio gorivo. Nekoliko
stoljeća unatrag vidljivo je da smo se oslanjali na samo jedan ili dva ključna izvora
energije. U ovom radu istražiti će se povijesni prikaz korištenja energetskih resursa u
prošlostiali i predviđanja korištenja energije u budućnosti. Energija je ključ za postizanje
ekonomskih, društvenih iekoloških ciljeva čovječanstva, a količina potrošnje , nestajanje
rezervi i metode proizvodnje energije najkontroverznija su tema u današnjem svijetu.
Znanstvenici, vlade, tvrtke i društva traže rješenje za zadovoljenje rastuće potražnje za
energijom u svijetu koji se brzo industrijalizira. Svi ovi napori usmjereni su na postizanje
globalnog gospodarskog rasta na način koji ne šteti okolišu. Kako se potrošnja energije u
cijelom svijetu povećava, novi pojmovi kao što su održivost i učinkovitost energije,
ranjivost u opskrbi i utjecaj na okoliš postaju sve popularniji. Predviđanje rezultata
nadolazećih izazova poput klimatskih promjena i potraga za pristupačnom energijom uz
razumnu cijenu s prosvjetiteljskim politikama najatraktivniji su predmeti istraživanja

Abstract (english)

Nowadays, when we mention energy sources, we most often think about coal, oil, gas,
nuclear energy, hydropower, solar energy, wind energy and biofuel. A few centuries ago,
it was evident that we relied on only one or two key sources of energy. The master thesis
gives an overview on the use of energy throughout the history and makes predictions of
its future use. Energy is the key to achieving the economic, social, and environmental
goals of humanity, and the amount of energy consumption, the depletion of energy
reserves as well as production methods are the most controversial topics in today's world.
Scientists, governments, companies, and societies are looking for a solution to meet the
growing demand for energy in the rapidly industrializing world. All of these efforts are
aimed at achieving global economic growth in an environmentally friendly way. As
energyconsumption increases worldwide, new concepts such as sustainabilityand energy
efficiency, supply vulnerability and environmental impact are becoming increasingly
popular. Predicting the results of upcoming challenges such as climate change and the
search for affordable energy at a reasonable price with enlightening policies are the most
attractive research subjects.
