Statements on Oil
by Energy Committee
Published on 17 Oct 2005 by Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Archived on 17 Oct 2005.


The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is an independent non-governmental organization, with expertise in most of the sciences as well as economical, social and humanistic fields. The Academy has recently established a committee to consider today’s important energy issues that need our full, unbiased attention. The Energy Committee has a national as well as a global perspective and will summarize scientific knowledge on the supply and use of energy as well as the predicted impacts on society over the coming 50 years. Sustainability and environmental considerations are essential for any future energy system. Readily available, inexpensive and environment-friendly energy provides the foundation for economic growth and prosperity.

The Energy Committee has selected a number of subjects to be studied in some depth. One of these deals with oil and related carbon-based fuels. Therefore, the Committee, organized, together with the Committee of Energy and Environment of the Royal Academy of Engineering Sciences, a seminar with the title “Running out of oil – scientific perspectives on fossil fuels” held at the Academy on 26 May 2005. Prior to the Seminar, the Energy Committee conducted a hearing with the seminar participants. More information about this seminar can be found on the Academy´s web page www.kva.se. The Committee also arranged a hearing with speakers in an Uppsala seminar on “Global oil reserves” on 23 May 23 2005 together with the Graduate School of Instrumentation and Measurements (AIM). Members of the Committee participated in the Uppsala seminar. Some essential points brought up at the hearings and seminars are highlighted below. It should be pointed out that the perspective given here is not purely scientific, since there are important social, political and technical factors that need consideration.
