Economic and logistic conditioning of energy demand in logistics
Economic and logistic conditioning of energy demand in logistics

Summary/Abstract: The study deals with economic and logistical conditions for the obtaining and use of various energy sources in the world. The first part presents the importance of energy in periods of human activity on Earth, from the time of gathering and hunting to modern times. It was pointed out how energy sources evolved based on successive innovations and inventions during subsequent periods of human development. The article presents the importance of individual energy sources in the modern world, indicating their logistical susceptibility in the field of extraction, storage and distribution. The length of periods of availability of non-renewable energy resources having the attribute of depletion was indicated using the Raw Materials Availability Index (RMAI). An analysis was made of the locations of individual energy resource deposits, stating that only a few countries have over 80% of global reserves, which means that other countries and societies depend on raw material monopolists.
