Fossil Fuel Consumption‚ CO2 and Its Impact on Global Climate Background: At the beginning of human history‚ we had to satisfy our energy needs (for food‚ heat and movement) by using our own muscle power and gathering or hunting naturally available plants‚ animals and wood. Each stage in the evolution of human society (the development of farming‚ domestication of animals‚ harnessing of wind and water power) increased the average per capita energy use‚ but it was the Industrial Revolution and the

1/ what is the essential difference between alternative energies (AE) and fossil fuels? Alternative energies will not have a lot of pollution‚ but fossil fuels will cause some pollution of the environment. Some fossil fuels causes environmental pollution‚ for example‚ global climate change‚ a lot of carbon dioxide cause the greenhouse effect‚ acid rain emissions of harmful gases cause serious pollution to the atmosphere. 2/ name the AE that you have chosen to research.

the new Millennium being discussed on Capitol Hill is called Biofuels. This type of fuel that is being brought to the American people is the new and improved way of becoming proficient and efficient in energy. The Untied States would convince the people along with other countries through policy that this renewable energy called biofuels would help in ever effort to reduce the dependency of fossil fuel. There are some key principals in developing new guideline to the use of biofuel which

good source of crude carbohydrate. Carbohydrate supplies energy to the cells. The mean value of sucrose content of the fruit is fifty-nine percent. The high carbohydrate and sucrose content of the fruit is 59% which makes the fruit a good source for ethanol production through fermentation. The mean energy value is high when compared with those of banana and other fruits. The value recorded for lead‚ chromium and nickel in the fruit sample were found to be 0.17‚ 0.07 and 0.10 ppm (Patzek‚ 2009) Biofuel

b s t r a c t Ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials is often conceived considering independent‚ standalone production plants; in the Brazilian scenario‚ where part of the potential feedstock (sugarcane bagasse) for second generation ethanol production is already available at conventional first generation production plants‚ an integrated first and second generation production process seems to be the most obvious option. In this study stand-alone second generation ethanol production from

“The use of fossil fuels‚ such as coal and oil‚ belongs to the past.” For the time being‚ the world is mostly dependent on the use of fossil fuels. All the infrastructure is fossil fuel based. i.e. if the world runs out of fossil fuels now‚ there won’t be any alternative energy source to power the entire world. Fossil fuels are usually found in rock formations containing fossils from decomposed animals and plants. The formation of fossil fuels happens in the course of hundreds of millions of years

at the different sources available to produce biofuels‚ and whether biofuels would actually result in a reduction of green house gases. Lastly‚ I will discuss the controversy of taking food stock away from the food supply chain and turning it into fuel‚ causing possible increases in global food prices. Currently the United States imports 317 billion gallons of oil from around the world each year (http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/ask/crudeoil_faqs.asp). This is a major threat to our security because our
