Energy Production Activity
An Energy Production Activity is a production activity that ...
- AKA: Energy Development.
- Context:
- It can (typically) be quantified by an Energy Production Measure.
- It can (typically) be associated with Energy Consumption Activities.
- Example(s):
- Coal Mining, such as in North Antelope Rochelle Coal Mine in Wyoming, USA (which produced 109.3 million tons of coal in 2015).
- Solar Energy Capture, such as in ...
- …
- Counter-Example(s):
- See: Alternative Fuel, Fossil Fuel, Renewable Power, Nuclear Power, Biomass Heating System, Solar Hot Water, Geothermal Heating, Hydroelectricity, Ethanol, Biodiesel, Biomass.

- Energy development is the field of activities focused on obtaining sources of energy from natural resources. These activities include production of conventional, alternative and renewable sources of energy, and for the recovery and reuse of energy that would otherwise be wasted. Energy conservation and efficiency measures reduce the demand for energy development, and can have benefits to society with improvements to environmental issues.
Societies use energy for transportation, manufacturing, illumination, heating and air conditioning, and communication, for industrial, commercial, and domestic purposes. Energy resources may be classified as primary resources, where the resource can be used in substantially its original form, or as secondary resources, where the energy source must be converted into a more conveniently usable form. Non-renewable resources are significantly depleted by human use, whereas renewable resources are produced by ongoing processes that can sustain indefinite human exploitation.
Thousands of people are employed in the energy industry. The conventional industry comprises the petroleum industry, the natural gas industry, the electrical power industry, and the nuclear industry. New energy industries include the renewable energy industry, comprising alternative and sustainable manufacture, distribution, and sale of alternative fuels.
