Fossil Fuels which include Petroleum and Natural Gas were formed million years ago from the remains of plants and animals‚ are responsible 40% and 20% respectively for the world ’s energy. They were first discovered about 700-900 years ago‚ however since the first modern petroleum industry began in 1859‚ the demand for fossil fuels has escalated beyond our control. It had taken 50-300 million years to form‚ and yet we have managed to burn roughly half of all global oil reserves in merely 125 years

Biodiesel Fuel The biggest problem the United States faces today when we talk about becoming energy independent is replacing the gas we use to power our vehicles. When we talk about replacing gasoline as the fuel we use to power our vehicles‚ biomass‚ hydrogen‚ and fuel cells are the three most talked about alternatives. Biomass‚ which is organic material made from plants and animals‚ contains stored energy from the sun. Biomass in the form of bio fuels can be used to make the same products

Hi guys‚ my name is Betty. I am the lead of my group today. I am goanna talk about fuel prices. The issue of fuel is very complex. First‚ what is fuel? It is material such as coal‚ gas‚ or oil that is burned to produce heat or power. And these 3 energies occupy the major parts of fuel use. In the past few years‚ fuel prices went up rapidly. Each country is very sensitive on the price. What causes fuel prices to rise and fall? For instance‚ let us have a look at oil. There are two main reasons

Alternative Energy vs. Fossil Fuels There are many alternatives that can effectively replace fossil fuels. Even though the United States is still dependent on fossil fuels; we have been working vigorously toward alternative energy. In the future the goal is to be completely independent from fossil fuels. Alternative energy has many different kinds of sources such as biofuels‚ hydrogen‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ and nuclear energy. With such a vast amount of resources to choose from and research

A Fuel Alternative. The Search for an Alternative Fuel to Save the Environment… And Our Pockets. Long gone are the days were one could drive into a petrol station and fuel up your highly inefficient gas guzzling vehicle without a care for the environment and sustainability. The recent spike in the price at the bowser‚ damage to the environment and diminishing reserves has made it clear that a new‚ sustainable and clean fuel must be created in order for our vehicles and economy to operate.

While fossil fuels are critical for the operation of our world their inefficiency and environmentally damaging characteristics take away from their appeal. Currently there are no suitable alternatives to our natural resources because they supply such a large amount of energy to so many people. Because of this research is being conducted to make our resources more efficient‚ and to find alternatives. This essay addresses the environmental impacts of our fossil fuels.

SEMINAR REPORT ON FUEL ENERGIZER Fuel energizer 2 www.techalone.com ABSTRACT In this era of increasing fuel prices‚ here a device called ‘FUEL ENERGIZER’ help us to Reduce Petrol /Diesel /Cooking gas consumption up to 28%‚ or in other words this would equal to buying the fuel up to 28% cheaper prices. When fuel flow through powerful magnetic field created by Magnetizer Fuel Energizer‚ The hydrocarbons change their orientation and molecules in them change their configuration. Result: Molecules

Fossil fuels Oil 1) Oil is produced in Middle Eastern countries‚ Saudia Arabia accounting for 13.1 per cent of the world total‚ America 16.5 per cent and Africa 12.1 per cent. Although the Middle East has a lot of oil reserves not much is consumed. North America‚ Europe and Eurasia consume a lot of oil. This is due to the countries being MEDCs so they will need more fuel as the demand is higher. 2) The factors which cause oil prices to increase are from supply shocks (the OPEC oil embargo

Great Impact of Rising Fuel Price Fuel is another transportation system component. Rising of fuel price is one of the major issues facing the transportation industry in Malaysia. Fuel may be gasoline‚ natural gas‚ diesel fuel‚ ethanol‚ methanol‚ coal‚ etc. The costs and efficiency of transportation fuels are considerable interest. (Joseph Sussman; Introduction to Transportation Systems; Transportation System Components; 2000). Fuel price volatility along with overall price increases has been an

The Fossil Fuels Introduction Fossil Fuels are a non-renewable energy source. They are found in Earth’s depositions made over millions and millions years ago and are called non-renewable because they can’t be used again once they are spent. There are 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
