Energy & Waste Resource Management

 Introduction
The UKs current imports of Natural gas, have increased, according to DUKES Natural Gas Report 2015(page 95)
Imports of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) increased to 124 TWh in 2014, driven by increasing global supply and weaker than expected demand in Asia.
While Chinas economy is in a slump, oil and gas prices have fallen, however if the Asia Pacific economy were to increase and sustain growth, security of supply could be at risk for the UK. Fracking has been viewed by many as an environmental disaster, however considering the challenges of providing for our growing population and dependence on energy, some suggest fracking is a better alternative to being without power.
Aims/Objectives
The aim of this assessment is to determine the best approach for dealing with fuel security, specifically gas, in the UK.

Requirements
1. Consider the current suppliers of gas to the UK and their ability to continue provision, if the Asian Pacific regions were to increase demand. What affect would this have on UK energy generation and supply and the unit price?
2. The UK has been decommissioning aging coal and nuclear power stations, which may with increased demand, produce a shortfall in supply. Considering our natural resources, consider what alternatives the UK has in generating sufficient power to meet demand. Do not make unsupported suggestions, but include in your deliberations the possibility of using fracking. Make sure you consider the environmental aspects of securing this energy source or any alternative method of energy generation.
