Talk:Primary energy

message: Is bboe 'barrel oil equivalent' or 'billion barrel oil equivalent'? The article states the latter, which seems logical, bu telsewhere I found the former, with the Joule value I filled in. So I hope this is not off by a factor of one billion. DirkvdM 17:41, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

message: All energy available in our Planet comes fundamentally from four different sources: Solar, Nuclear, Geothermic and ocean Tides. Most of the energy we use today is originated from the heat that we receive from the sun. This includes petroleum, coal, natural gas, hydropower, biomass, eolic, etc. Nuclear power comes from the fission of heavy elements occurring in the Earth since its formation, like Uranium and Thorium. It can also be obtained (even we don´t have presently the technology to do it) from the fusion of deuterium nuclei (an isotope of hydrogen that is found as a small fraction in all water we have). The third source is the heat in the core of the Earth. In many places in the world, this source comes available near the surface and is indeed used. The tidal motion of the sea is caused by the mutual gravitational attraction between the ocean water and the Moon.

thread_title:  Very primary energy sources 

message: In economical (energy) statistics there are as primary sources calculated only: 1) fuels (fossil or biomass), 2) heat made in nuclear reactors (!), and electricity (!) from hydropower. There is no solar irradiation or wind. On one hand it is too difficult to define a border of system in case of solar and wind energy. All fossil fuels are energy sources (except small part used as input to chemistry). On other hand only a part of biomass is used as energy source. The same is for solar irradiation and wind - only very small part of energy potential is used as energy input.Reing (talk) 05:23, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Natural or statistical?

message: the graphic is irritating - it only refers to electricity, which is actually not a primary energy. Later in the article it says "Primary energies are transformed in energy conversion processes to more convenient forms of energy, such as electrical energy, refined fuels, or synthetic fuels such as hydrogen fuel."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.106.133.180 (talk) 14:11, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope, the graphic shows the contribution of various primary energy sources that go into the generation of electricity: mostly fossil fuel, water power, and nuclear energy. Translation to English would be a good thing here, though, along with reliable sourcing. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 21:49, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Can somebody write something about final energy? I was astonished that there is no such article in the english wikipedia. So until this vacancy isn't filled it would be good if someone could at least add some sentences here. Regards, Andol (talk) 22:48, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I fully agree.  Some material on final or end-use energy is needed.  Best wishes.  RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 10:45, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Final energy 

message: Most of Primary energy has been merged in Worldwide energy supply, following a suggestion of Peter James, see WP:Articles_for_deletion/Worldwide_energy_supply. Worldwide energy supply also deals with Final Energy. Rwbest (talk) 09:52, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
