Abstract: The importance of energy to the Libyan state is growing due to its vast area, which is estimated at 1,760,000 km2, and only a percentage of urbanization there does not exceed five percent, as the majority of the population is concentrated in the (main) coastal cities where services are available, and they are looking forward to new cities for housing, work, and Production projects, and all of this requires energy, whether for domestic or productive purposes or for various life affairs. Although Libya is an energy producing country, especially traditional sources (oil and gas), the volume of demand increases every day.

Keywords: Energy, oil, gas, non-renewable energy, renewable energy, sustainable development.
