Stakeholders of Energy Resource Management in Israel
Over the past years the world around us has changed a lot. The change has been noticed in case of technological advancement and the economic advancement. With the increase in the population the advancement in the technology and economy has made a remarkable mark. The mission of the Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has remained to promote the policies which might help in improving the economic and the social well-being of the people in the entire world. This report aims at analyzing the factors that affects the energy resource availability in one of the countries which is a member of the organization. It further aims at the allocation of resources, technological advancement and socio-economic impact of the country. The report concentrates on the conditions of Israel.
The stakeholders of the company are the government, customers, society, shareholders and the employees. The government wants the organization to pay taxes on time and report the financial condition of the same. The customers want good quality business and safe and the availability of the resources effectively. The customers want the availability of high and good quality resources at a reasonable rate. The stakeholders want the process to run smoothly. The stakeholders of the resources that is the suppliers who deals with the manufacture of goods wants a regular availability of the resources as their business will get affected if the performance of the organization gets affected. The employees want a good environment at their workplace and they would require job satisfaction and they want the organization to contribute positively to the local environment and population. The people of the society want a good and safe environment. They want such organizations to function smoothly so that they have a healthy environment. It is possible if some organizations like this keep a check on such issues (Lienert, Schnetzer and Ingold 2013).
a. Allocation of resources
The factors that affect the energy resources availability and management and their impact on the rising demand in Israel are the use of renewable energy that is projected to evolve. It also includes the quantity of the wood-based energy used in Israel. It depends on the factors that will determine the future energy choices. This includes the price of the oil, the greenhouse gas emissions and the dependence on energy in Israel. The energy demand in Israel is expected to increase in the upcoming years as it is assumed that the population will have a maximum growth in the upcoming years. The growth of population is one of the major factors that affect the energy resource availability it has a heavy impact on the rising demand of the energy in Israel (Trancik et al. 2015). The energy consumption in Israel is growing as the population of the country is growing with the increasing year. Though the population is expected to be more in the Asian countries like China and India, the same has been found in Israel as well. The reason behind this is the lack of education and the lack of economic development. The country is a partner of OECD (Sarnoff 2016). It restores the government of Israel to restore confidence in markets and the institutions that make them function. It helps the government of the Israel to establish the healthy public finances as a basis for the future sustainable economic growth. It also lends support to the new sources of growth by bringing innovation in the environmentally friendly strategies and taking steps to develop the emerging economies. The vast majority of the Israel`s energy is generated from the non-renewable sources, specifically oil, coal and gas. The gas and the coal bring the maximum amount of increase in the consumption of the energies. The consumption of oil has increased in the country. The use of nuclear and renewable resources has increased in the past few years (Tørstad 2016).
b. Technological advancements
Factors Contributing to Energy Resource Availability in Israel
Israel is not technologically advanced. The country is not well-equipped with the technological equipments. Compared to the American and the European countries Israel is underdeveloped in the field of technology. It is considered as the third world country. The technological development is secondary in this country. The technologies used in the extraction of the natural resources are not advanced in this country. The machines in the oil spills and during the drilling of the mines are not updated and modern one. The use of the internet is not easily accessible in Israel. This affects in the availability of the minerals in Israel and they have a heavy impact on the rising energy demand (policy and politics 2016).
c. Socio-economic factors
Israel is a country rich in resources. The major factor of the availability of resources in the country is the geographical and the environmental condition of the region. Each mineral has different source and different reasons for the availability of the minerals. The Dead Sea is a major important source of potash, materials that contains the potassium. The potash is used in throughout the world in fertilizers. The Dead Sea is an important source of magnesium bromide as well. The wood and metal is also an important resource that is available in Israel. It is listed in the category of the natural resources of Israel. The region is an important source of some copper ore (Goel 2017). It is because of the environmental and the geographical condition of the place. Apart from this the reason of the availability of the resources is the soil of the region. Israel is a rich source of variety of clays. These have multiple uses. The sand of Israel is another rich mineral source of the region. The supply of natural gases is increasing day by day. Initially Israel produced a less amount of natural gas but the industry of natural gas has increased day by day. The availability of the resources is the major factors of the increasing demand of the resources. The availability of the crude oil is another factor of the same. The crude oil is produced in huge number in the country (Paroussos, Fragkos and Capros 2016).
- The factor that affect in the availability of the above mentioned resources is the lower economic condition of the region. Israel is having a small geographical area and therefore the availability of the natural resources gets affected because of it.
- Another factor that affects the availability of the natural resources is the environmental condition of the region at some regions of Israel. The region is mostly deserted and the Israel cannot preserve the lumber as the trees are in less in number in the country (Nakhooda and Watson 2016).
- The country is rich in minerals in spite of it the distribution of the minerals is poor. This is because it has poor transportation facility in the region. Israel is a poor country and it is not developed. The minerals are not fully distributed in all the parts of the region. Since it is not easily available in all the regions of the place there is a rising demand of the minerals in the entire region and in all parts of the world (Morgan, Dagnet and Tirpak 2014).
- Another major factor is the promotion of the products is not done effectively in the world market. The export of the products of the country is comparatively in Israel.
The oil spills of Israel are comparatively small. The reason behind this is the drilling capacity is limited in the region. The drilling machine does not go much deep here therefore the oil spills are smaller in size (Mehmet 2014).
a. Factors affecting energy resources availability and management and the impact of the rising energy demand
Challenges Faced by Israel in Energy Resource Management
The adaptation to the adverse effects of the change in the climate is vital in Israel. It has been a problem faced by the INDC in Israel. They could not completely achieve the target set in the CPO21 seminar. It aimed at strengthening the future response for the change in the climate (Bienert 2016.).
It is a matter of fact that Israel is a small densely populated country having problem of land and water. There has been a constant problem of land and water and the availability of the natural resources. The increasing population has been the most vital reason for this. It has been an obstruction in the economic growth in this region. In the Northern part of Israel there is the Mediterranean type of climate. Frequent weather change has been observed in this region (Stua 2017). This acts as a major factor that affects the availability of the energy resources. There has been a constant trend of the rising of the level of the seawater. The ruse in the level of seawater affects the availability of the minerals from the sea. The rise in the seawater can be linked with the increased flooding that can result in the increased intrusion of the seawater. To the coastal aquifer that can lead to the increase of salinity of water. These are the effects faced by Israel on the sectors of natural resources like water, agriculture, the public health, biodiversity and the coastal environment and the urban environment (Makabe 2017).
The factor of reduced rainfall is a major factor that affects Israel. It is a major reason of the rising energy demand. The electricity produced from the water resources gets affected because of this. The extreme climate is another factor for the same. The energy produced from the natural resources gets affected because of these factors in Israel. The extraction of the energy is highly dependent on the natural resources (Lounasheimo 2015).
b. policies and regulation on energy availability and management.
The policies and regulation on energy availability identifies the historical increase in the demand and the lack of continuity in lack of viable management policies for the regional and the global energy problems. It examines the issues that are related to the energy management, it deals with the exploration of the best options for achieving the independence of energy. It further deals with the steps taken for the quantitative approach related to the energy policy development. It includes the specific structural and analytic approaches towards solving the issues related to the energy management (Lemarchand, Leck and Tash 2016).
Regulatory Policies on Energy Availability in Israel
The objective of the regulatory policy on energy availability is to work on the public interest. The current policy addresses the requirement to meet the formed rules and regulations and the framework of the same. Though the policy has been framed effectively it needs to underpin the solid researches. The framework basically deals with the development in the energy availability it should however also include the after effect of the breaking of the policy. The current policy works on the exploration of the impacts of the regional imbalance of the carbon tax on carbon dioxide emissions and the industrial competitiveness. It consists of the household installation of the solar panels (Stua 2017). The policy is framed but there are loopholes in the policy. It should be more structured and it should ensure the process of ensuring the availability of the natural resources. It should frame policy on the process of extracting the natural resources keeping in mind the pollution factor. The policy should include the pollution free extraction and the technological advancement in the extraction process (Kraas et al. 2016).
The technological capabilities of Israel are throughout known as one of the most innovative as they are doing a lot of progress in the technological sector. Initially the technological sector of Israel was poor enough compared to other countries. With the passing years the development was noticed in Israel. In case of the energy sector the fact that exemplifies is the renewable energy sector. The adoption of the solar technologies was the step towards it (Shehadeh and Khalidi 2014). This helped in the use of the electric cars as well as in many other fields. The technological companies in Israel develop various solutions in all other fields of this sector. The sub field includes the wind, solar-thermal power, PV, biofules and smart grid. Israel has come up with an innovative form of promoting the resources. The technologies that exist in the markets of the Israel are;
- Solar thermal energy- this is the technology that exists in the markets of the Israel. This can be further divided into two categories; one is the concentrated solar power which includes the systems that uses lenses or mirrors in order to concentrate on a large area of sunlight or the solar thermal energy into a smaller area. The electric power is produced while the concentrated light is converted to that heat that drives steam turbine which is connected to an electrical power generator. The second category include the solar tower which implies a type of solar furnace that uses an array of flat and movable mirrors which is also known as heliostats. It is used to focus on the rays of the sun upon a collector tower (Knorr 2016).
- Biomass and biogas- Israel uses a renewable source of energy which is a biological material from living organisms for example wood, waste materials, certain gas lay hydrogen and the alcohol fuels. The country adopts technologies like waste burning, fermentation and gasification to produce such gases (Höhne et al. 2017).
- Energy efficiency- The technology includes the reduction of the consumption of the energy by storing the energy. It includes usage of the energy resource and the production of the energy efficient products. It also includes the prevention of the energy losses on the grid (Goel 2017).
- Wind/turbine- It includes the production of the electricity from the wind energy that is possible only when the kinetic energy of the air is converted to mechanical energy. It is done when the circular movement of the rotor of the turbine is being converted into an electric energy using a generator (Desai 2016).
- Photovoltaic- It includes the process of generating electric power by the process of converting the solar radiation into the direct current electricity using semiconductors which exhibits the photovoltaic effect. It includes the energy corps (Chen, van der Beek and Cloud 2017).
Therefore from the above material this can be understood that the technological advancement in Israel had a have impact on the energy sectors in Israel. It includes the seeking and development of the manufacturing of the clusters that concentrates on the various producers in a continuous chain that might lead to a constant decrease in the impact on the nature. The impact of the technological advancement could be well understood by further plans developed in the country. It includes the oil alternative plan and the greenhouse gas reduction plan (Butun 2016). The plans help in the appraisal of the technological advancement of the energy resources. It is however a matter of fact that the technology will however continue to have a profound effect in the energy industry. In Israel the technological progress has contributed to a huge enhancement in the use of electricity as well other forms of energy. The technological advancements brought to the new markets new forms of energy like the nuclear power energy and the solar power energy (Lemarchand, Leck and Tash 2016). Due to the development in the technologies there was a development in the structure of the industries based on technology. It is remarkable as the development and improvement is done in the existing technologies as it is likely to change their relative attractiveness in terms of both the cost and the environmental impacts. The clean-coal technology is within the reach of the people. The costs of the renewable power of energy are coming down rapidly which was possible to make such technology affordable and attractive. These factors have a great impact on the development of the technologies on the energy sector (Bienert 2016).
