Abstract

Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) have published a short article mentioning activity of Laboratory of Soil Mechanics on their blog. The article was devoted to recent conference organized by LMS, namely The International Symposium on Energy Geotechnics. The conference underscored the importance of experimental geomechanics for the benefit of industries dedicated to energy geostructures, induced seismicity, gas hydrate sediments, nuclear waste disposal and CO2-storage. Prominent, internationally recognized specialists opened each day with a set of keynote lectures.

Energy development

Energy development is the field of activities focused on obtaining sources of energy from natural resources. These activities include the production of renewable, nuclear, and fossil fuel derived sources of energy, and for the recovery and reuse of energy that would otherwise be wasted. Energy conservation and efficiency measures reduce the demand for energy development, and can have benefits to society with improvements to environmental issues.

Primary energy

Primary energy (PE) is the energy found in nature that has not been subjected to any human engineered conversion process. It encompasses energy contained in raw fuels and other forms of energy, including waste, received as input to a system. Primary energy can be non-renewable or renewable. Primary energy is used in energy statistics in the compilation of energy balances, as well as in the field of energetics. In energetics, a primary energy source (PES) refers to the energy forms required by the energy sector to generate the supply of energy carriers used by human society.

Energy economics

Energy economics is a broad scientific subject area which includes topics related to supply and use of energy in societies. Considering the cost of energy services and associated value gives economic meaning to the efficiency at which energy can be produced. Energy services can be defined as functions that generate and provide energy to the “desired end services or states”. The efficiency of energy services is dependent on the engineered technology used to produce and supply energy. The goal is to minimise energy input required (e.
