World Oil Reserves at 'Tipping Point'
Reservas mundiais de petróleo num "ponto de inflexão"
ScienceDaily (Mar. 26, 2010) — The world’s capacity to meet projected future oil demand is at a tipping point, according to research by the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment at Oxford University.
ScienceDaily (26 de março de 2010) - A capacidade do mundo para satisfazer a procura futura de petróleo prevista está a atingir um ponto de rutura, de acordo com uma investigação da Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment da Universidade de Oxford.

There is a need to accelerate the development of alternative energy fuel resources in order to ensure energy security and reduce emissions, says a paper just published in the journal Energy Policy.
É necessário acelerar o desenvolvimento de recursos alternativos de combustíveis energéticos para garantir a segurança energética e reduzir as emissões, afirma um estudo que acaba de ser publicado na revista Energy Policy.

The age of cheap oil has now ended as demand starts to outstrip supply as we head towards the middle of the decade, says the report. It goes on to suggest that the current oil reserve estimates should be downgraded from between 1150-1350 billion barrels to between 850-900 billion barrels, based on recent research. But how can potential oil shortages be mitigated?
A era do petróleo barato chegou ao fim, uma vez que a procura começa a ultrapassar a oferta à medida que nos aproximamos de meados da década, afirma o relatório. O relatório sugere ainda que as atuais estimativas das reservas de petróleo deveriam ser reduzidas de 1150-1350 mil milhões de barris para 850-900 mil milhões de barris, com base em estudos recentes. Mas como é que a potencial escassez de petróleo pode ser atenuada?

Mas como é que a potencial escassez de petróleo pode ser atenuada?
Dr Oliver Inderwildi, Head of the Low Carbon Mobility centre at the Smith School, said: ‘The common belief that alternative fuels such as biofuels could mitigate oil supply shortages and eventually replace fossil fuels is pie in the sky.
O Dr. Oliver Inderwildi, Diretor do Centro de Mobilidade com Baixas Emissões de Carbono da Smith School, afirmou: "A crença comum de que os combustíveis alternativos, como os biocombustíveis, poderiam atenuar a escassez do aprovisionamento de petróleo e, eventualmente, substituir os combustíveis fósseis, é uma ilusão.
There is not sufficient land to cater for both food and fuel demand. Instead of relying on those silver bullet solutions, we have to make better use of the remaining resources by improving energy efficiency.
Não existe terra suficiente para satisfazer a procura de alimentos e de combustíveis. Em vez de confiarmos nessas soluções milagrosas, temos de utilizar melhor os recursos remanescentes, melhorando a eficiência energética.
Alternatives such as a hydrogen economy and electric transportation are not mature and will only play a major role in the medium to long term.’
Alternativas como a economia do hidrogénio e o transporte elétrico não estão maduras e só desempenharão um papel importante a médio e longo prazo".
Nick Owen, from the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, added: ‘Significant oil supply challenges will be compounded in the near future by rising demand and strengthening environmental policy.
Nick Owen, da Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, acrescentou: "Os desafios significativos em matéria de aprovisionamento de petróleo serão agravados num futuro próximo pelo aumento da procura e pelo reforço da política ambiental.
Mitigating the oil crunch without using lower grade resources such as tar sands is the key to maintaining energy stability and a low carbon future.’
Atenuar a escassez de petróleo sem utilizar recursos de menor qualidade, como as areias betuminosas, é a chave para manter a estabilidade energética e um futuro com baixas emissões de carbono.

The Smith School paper also highlights that in the past, political and financial objectives have led to misreporting of oil reserves, which has led to contradictory estimates of oil reserve data available in the public domain.
O documento da Smith School salienta igualmente que, no passado, os objectivos políticos e financeiros conduziram a uma declaração incorrecta das reservas de petróleo, o que deu origem a estimativas contraditórias dos dados relativos às reservas de petróleo disponíveis no domínio público.

Sir David King, Director of the Smith School, commented: ‘We have to face up to a future of oil uncertainty much like the global economic uncertainty we have faced during the past two years.
Sir David King, Diretor da Smith School, comentou: "Temos de enfrentar um futuro de incerteza petrolífera muito semelhante à incerteza económica global que enfrentamos nos últimos dois anos.
This challenge will have a longer term effect on our economies unless swift action is taken by governments and business. We all recognise that oil is a finite resource.
Este desafio terá um efeito a longo prazo nas nossas economias se não forem tomadas medidas rápidas pelos governos e pelas empresas. Todos nós reconhecemos que o petróleo é um recurso finito.
We need to look at other low carbon alternatives and make the necessary funding available for research, development and deployment today if we are to mitigate the tipping point.’
Precisamos olhar para outras alternativas de baixo carbono e disponibilizar o financiamento necessário para pesquisa, desenvolvimento e implantação hoje, se quisermos mitigar o ponto de inflexão.'

The report also raises the worrying issue that additional demand for oil could be met by nonconventional methods, such as the extraction of oil from Canada’s tar sands.
O relatório também levanta a questão preocupante de que a procura adicional de petróleo poderia ser satisfeita por métodos não convencionais, como a extração de petróleo das areias betuminosas do Canadá.
However, these methods have a far higher carbon output than conventional drilling, and have been described as having a double impact on emissions owing to the emissions produced during extraction as well as during usage.
No entanto, estes métodos têm uma produção de carbono muito mais elevada do que a perfuração convencional e foram descritos como tendo um duplo impacto nas emissões, devido às emissões produzidas durante a extração e durante a utilização.
