this ethanol we can obtain energy that we can then use as a fuel. Biofuels have had a great impact in the world already. In the year 2011 the Ethanol consumption was over 25 billion of gallons‚ however‚ getting society to use Biodiesel hasn’t been very successful. Biodiesel is a less environmental damaging substitute for petroleum diesel fuel. It is made out of vegetable oil‚ it doesn’t matter what condition the vegetable oil is in‚ it could have already been used for cooking‚ etc. This vegetable

Sheethal Mathew Professor Moton English 1 A 7 May 2012 Gasoline Impact on Environment The quote “while the United States consumes nearly 25 percent of the world’s petroleum‚ as a country it maintains only 2 percent of the world’s petroleum reserves” itself should describes this country’s over consumption of petroleum (energy.ca.gov). Gasoline is refined crude oil which is formed inside the earth from fossils that died thousands of years back. There is only so little of the material left that

Final Research Paper COMM/215 26 Oct 2010 Introduction For years environmentalists have been screaming about going green‚ recycling and reusing products‚ and so forth. So the idea of our vehicles using alternative fuel sources would be a welcomed change. With the dozen of vehicles and fuel sources being introduced‚ it is now a possibility to add alternative fuel vehicles to our rental car fleet. Through this presentation‚ gasoline and alternative fuel vehicles will be fully outlined;

write outside the box 1 Petroleum diesel is a fuel made from crude oil. Biodiesel is a fuel made from vegetable oils. To make biodiesel‚ large areas of land are needed to grow crops from which the vegetable oils are extracted. Large areas of forest are cleared by burning the trees to provide more land for growing these crops. Leave as forest Forest Produce food Burn the trees Grow crops Produce biodiesel 1 (a) 1 (a) (i) Use this information and your knowledge and understanding

SDP’s downstream division operates in 14 counties across the globe refining CPOs to produce edible oils‚ fat products‚ oleochemicals and biodiesel (Sime Darby Plantation‚ 2011b). Appendix 1 shows the upstream and downstream activities of SDP together with its geographic location.

2008). The biofuels are produced from two distinct ways; that is through metabolic by-products or from living organisms. Examples of biofuels include; bioethanol which is an alcohol made from fermentation process. Another example of biofuels is biodiesel which is made from vegetable oils as well as animal fats. Biofuels have got several ways in which they are made. Therefore in this essay I am going to analyze few methods. Biofuels are made from materials known as feedstock. This comprises mostly

Topic 8a – Carbonyl compounds Revision Notes 1. Introduction • Aldehydes and ketones are carbonyl compounds • They contain the carbonyl group C=O • The functional group in aldehydes is –CHO on the end of a chain e.g. ethanal CH3CHO • The functional group in ketones is C=O not at the end of a chain e.g. propanone CH3COCH3 2. AS Recap • Primary alcohols are oxidised by acidified potassium dichromate. An aldehyde is produced first and this can be further oxidised
