Biofuels Coal and crude oil are non-renewable resources. They take so long to form that they cannot be replaced once they have all been used up. This means that these fossil fuels are likely to become more expensive as they begin to run out. Petrol‚ diesel and other fuels produced from crude oil make a range of harmful substances when they are burned‚ including: carbon dioxide carbon monoxide water vapour particulates (solid particles) sulfur dioxide oxides of nitrogen or NOx.

Hydraulic fracturing‚ or fracking‚ is the technique of extracting oil and natural gas trapped under ground by injecting a mixture of water‚ sand‚ and chemicals into the earth with enough pressure to fracture the rock-bed‚ and allow the oil and gas to be collected [1]. Natural gas is the cleanest burning hydrocarbon and will play an integral role in the future as we transition to renewable energy sources [2]. Despite
