“wise or effective” for the university’s take on climate change. After doing portfolio analysis‚ if KU were to divest‚ we found that it would create a stigma against the fossil fuel industry and would show that KU values a more “green” planet. On the other hand‚ if KU was against the divestiture‚ we find that fossil fuels provide much greater returns‚ a larger pool for security diversification of the portfolio and finally the transaction costs

Andrew McClarren Each of the articles were notably different from each other based on the perspective the author took when discussing the usage of biofuels. In the first article‚ On the Horizon‚ Planes Powered by Plant Fuel‚ Author Matthew Wald reviews jet fuels‚ both alternative fuel based as well as petroleum based and the advantages and disadvantages of each. He established where he believes the issues lie and that is within the costs and land accessibility. The fruit jatropha is being used as biofuel

Developing Fuels * All gases take up the same volume under the same conditions. AT room temperature and room pressure this volume is 24 dm3. * Number of moles= volume in dm3 24 * Balanced equations can also be used to work out gas volumes. In the equations: 2Na + 2H2O 2NaOH + H2‚ where 15g of sodium is reacted‚ you can work out the volume of gas from working out the number of moles in 15g Na = 0.65 mol. Then you see that 2 mol of Na 1mol of H2‚ Thus 0.65 mol Na 0.325 mol H2. 0.325

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars: Worth the Investment? Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe‚ but only recently have people been able to harness this resource and turn it into energy. Hydrogen fuel cell cars are one such advancement made in the effort to turn hydrogen gas into electricity. Fuel cells in the car are used to convert hydrogen into an electrical current‚ and thus power the vehicle. Fuel cells convert hydrogen and oxygen into water while producing electricity.

case of America’s Natural Gas Highway‚ the companies Clean Energy Fuels Corporation and Navistar International formed a strategic partnership in order to overcome the dilemma of consumers being unable to purchase cars that ran on eco-friendly fuels such as natural gas‚ electric‚ or biofuel because of a lack of fueling stations that supplied these fuels. There was a lack of these fuel stations because there were no customers for the fuels. To

USE ALTERNATIVE FUELS‚ SAVE PLANET EARTH We are all aware of the current state of our environment. Mother Earth is on the brink of total destruction brought about by pollution‚ irresponsible use of resources‚ and the excessive use of conventional fuel such as fossil fuel and nuclear energy. Part of the efforts to save our planet is to shift from using conventional fuels to alternative ones such as wind energy‚ solar‚ tidal‚ wave‚ oceal‚ thermal‚ dendrothermal‚ biogas and biodiesel‚ alcohol

diminishing fossil fuels In 1977‚ the President of the United States of America‚ Jimmy Carter‚ advocated for the use of alternative energy to the American people “because we are now running out of gas and oil‚ we must prepare quickly to strict conservation [of fossil fuels] and to the use of coal and permanent renewable energy sources‚ like solar power.” More than thirty years later his announcement still rings true and is relevant. In fact‚ the current situation of non-renewable fuels is worse than
