XII. Give the sight translation (Ukrainian-English, English-Ukrainian) of the articles.

World energy consumption

GDP and energy consumption in Japan, 1958–2000 The data shows the correlation between GDP and energy use; however, it also shows that this link can be broken. After the oil shocks of 1973 and 1979 the energy use stagnated while Japan's GDP continued to grow, after 1985, under the influence of the then much cheaper oil, energy use resumed its historical relation to GDP.

From 1990 to 2008 the average use of energy per person as IEA data increased 10 % and the world population increased 27 %. Regional energy use grew from 1990 to 2008: Middle East 170 %, China 146 %, India 91 %, Africa 70 %, Latin America 66 %, USA 20 %, EU-27 7 % and world 39 %

In 2008, total worldwide energy consumption was 474 exajoules (474×1018 J=132,000 TWh). This is equivalent to an average energy consumption rate of 15 terawatts (1.504×1013 W). The potential for renewable energy is: solar energy 1600 EJ (444,000 TWh), wind power 600 EJ (167,000 TWh), geothermal energy 500 EJ (139,000 TWh), biomass 250 EJ (70,000 TWh), hydropower 50 EJ (14,000 TWh) and ocean energy 1 EJ (280 TWh).

Energy consumption in the G20 increased by more than 5% in 2010 after a slight decline of 2009. In 2009, world energy consumption decreased for the first time in 30 years (−1.1%) or 130 Mtoe (Megatonne oil equivalent), as a result of the financial and economic crisis (GDP drop by 0.6% in 2009).[5]

This evolution is the result of two contrasting trends. Energy consumption growth remained vigorous in several developing countries, specifically in Asia (+4%). Conversely, in OECD, consumption was severely cut by 4.7% in 2009 and was thus almost down to its 2000 levels. In North America, Europe and the CIS, consumptions shrank by 4.5%, 5% and 8.5% respectively due to the slowdown in economic activity. China became the world's largest energy consumer (18% of the total) since its consumption surged by 8% during 2009 (up from 4% in 2008). Oil remained the largest energy source (33%) despite the fact that its share has been decreasing over time. Coal posted a growing role in the world's energy consumption: in 2009, it accounted for 27% of the total.

Альтернативна енергетика та альтернативні джерела енергії

Альтернативна енергетика - сукупність перспективних способів одержання енергії, які поширені не так широко, як традиційні, проте представляють інтерес через вигідність їх використання при низькому ризику заподіяння шкоди екології району.

  • Нова тенденція в енергетиці, пов'язана з виробництвом теплової та електричної енергії.

Альтернативні види палива

Альтернативні види палива - (від лат. Alter-другий, один з двох), отримують в основному із сировини ненафтового походження, застосовують для скорочення споживання нафти з використанням (після реконструкції) енергоспоживаючих пристроїв, що працюють на нафтовому паливі. Основні види альтернативних палив: зріджені горючі гази; спирти, продукти їх переробки та суміші з бензином; паливні суміші; мистецтв. рідке паливо; водень.
