three major forms of fossil fuels: coal‚ oil and natural gas. COAL Coal is made up of carbon‚ oxygen‚ hydrogen‚ nitrogen and some amounts of sulphur -Three main types of coal: • Anthracite : the hardest and has the most carbon in it‚ meaning higher energy content • Lignite: softest‚ low in carbon‚ but high in oxygen & hydrogen • Bituminous: All of the above found in similar amounts Coal is mined out of the ground using various methods. Some coal mines are dug by sinking vertical

There are a number of augments in favor of the diversification of energy sources in Australia. Using alternative sources of energy of the dependency on fossil fuel such as coal may reduce the greenhouse gas emission impact on the environment. Nicholls (2009) speculates that using clean energy that depends on natural wind‚ sun and geothermal in not only practical and has economical advantages but it also may be able to reduce the CO2 emission to 50% by 2040. In addition‚ sustainable energy is not

governments and companies are looking to unconventional fuel resources. This means the fuel is extracted via another method then the conventional well strategy. These resources include fracturing of oil and gas source rocks‚ methane hydrates‚ tar sands and coal seam gasification. There are benefits such as energy security and economic growth associated with these resources. However‚ there are environmental disadvantages which may prove detrimental to sustainability and an uncertainty in the future of energy

Calculation Basis of Air Conditioning CO2 Emission 1 Burning 1 kg of standard coal produces about 2.93 kg of CO2 Type and producing area of the coal leads to the difference of heat value and carbon content. In China‚ usually the carbon content of coal is from 45% to 85%. In China‚ it is provided that the heat value of standard coal is 7‚000 Kcal/kg‚ carbon content is about 80%‚ CO2 emission of the 1 kg standard coal should be: molecular weight of CO2/ atomic weight for the element of C * 80%

Despite the fact that the consumption is not picturing a significant amount of growth‚ according to UNCTAD (2012)‚ in the same period crude oil load capacity reached 1.8 billion tons and has an account for approximately one third of the total world seaborne trade. Meanwhile‚ global consumption of coal has increased significantly in the same period

world are conducting experiments to determine if methane hydrates can serve as a solution to the energy challenges the ever-increasing global population is freezing. It is estimated that methane hydrates under the sea hold more carbon than all the coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas reserves on the earth. Margonelli follows the work conducted by researchers aboard the research ship Western Flyer. These researchers are attempting to discover basic information about methane hydrates that will assist researchers

character of the allegory is an audacious woman who ruled California. In the painting she has blue eyes and is looking straight ahead which indicates her command and power over the state. The other parts of the painting displays engineers‚ merchants‚ coal miners and farmers. People reported that there are many oil refineries shown at the top of the painting which are taking oil from the sea. It gives view of the development occurred in the field of industries in California. I completely agree with
