Project Overview
Properly functioning markets for electricity, natural gas, oil and pollution allowances are essential for the rational allocation of resources and cost-effective attainment of environmental goals. Rapidly changing energy dynamics determine the course of our economic development, geopolitics, technological breakthroughs, massive investments and trade flows.With renewable energy moving from niche to mainstream, the fuel mix is shifting.
The intent of our project is to visually explore the world in transformation as the global energy system is undergoing major shifts. We will explore trends in energy production and consumption across countries through time. By using interactive visualization techniques, we propose to aid discovery of long run transitions and short run adjustments by analyzing key factors like production, consumption, costs and trade movements of various energy resources-both renewable and non-renewable, electricity generation using these resources and the effects of energy usage in terms of Carbon Dioxide emissions.
Motivation
Energy growth drives the well-being and prosperity across the globe. Growing demand for energy has to be met in a safe and environmentally conscious manner. Rapidly changing energy dynamics determine the course of our economic development, geopolitics, technological breakthroughs, massive investments and trade flows.
The intent of our project is to visually explore the world in transformation as the global energy system is undergoing major shifts. We will explore trends in energy production and consumption across countries through time. With the rapid deployment and falling costs of clean energy technologies, usage of renewable energy sources has improved over time shifting the fuel mix.
Though reports from various organizations such as EIA, IEA, OPEC, BP are available, most of the visualizations are static and do not aid exploration. By using interactive visualization techniques, we propose to aid discovery of long run transitions and short run adjustments by analyzing key factors like production, consumption, costs and trade movements of various energy resources-both renewable and non-renewable, electricity generation using these resources and the effects of energy usage in terms of Carbon Dioxide emissions.
