Impacts of energy insecurity: Energy pathways connecting

producers to consumers

Watch this video and write down some of the issues with a proposed pipeline

How can you transfer different energy sources around the world?

What does this tell you about the changes in the global energy trade since 1981?

Energy pathways (p15)

There has been a significant increase in the export of fuels.

Export growth particularly from Middle east and former Soviet Union

South and central America has increased; not a major player.

There has been a significant increase in imports.

The countries exporting are NOT the countries importing

Europe, Asia and the Asia- Pacific region are now heavily reliant on energy imports.

The USA uses imports. The numbers change. They have some supplies of their own.

Having found out all of this, think about what it means for global energy security.
