566 people the total number of cars is about 1‚902‚172. Despite this large number of people and ever expanding car industry we have a negligible amount of green vehicles. This refers to any road vehicle that does not use petrol but uses alternative fuel sources for energy. This information led me to the theme of this portfolio‚ “Green vehicles in Trinidad and Tobago.” For the exposition‚ I presented an eight minute speech to my teacher that provided information on the benefits of

as fossil fuels. Fossil fuels subsidies are $72 billion and solar energy subsidies are only $1 billion so the majority of the money goes towards fossil fuels. Solar energy having the same profits as fossil fuels is better for everyone. It would improve the overall health of the planet‚ it would be cheaper and create jobs. As well‚ solar energy is a renewables power source unlike fossil fuel. Solar energy is better for everyone because it is not a depletable source unlike Fossel fuels. "Over 60%

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

12/07/11 Ethanol was first used in 1908 on Henry Ford’s Model T. The Model T was designed so that it could be run on either gasoline or pure alcohol. When asked why he wanted to run the Model T on alcohol‚ Henry Ford replied by saying‚ “It is the fuel of the future.” The use of ethanol continued through the 1920’s and 1930’s in an effort to keep a United States ethanol program alive. Although the effort was unsuccessful‚ oil supply problems in the Middle East and environmental issues and concerns

in 1952 that caused 4000 deaths and a host of other related ailments among the Londoners. One of the main causes of the serious air pollution was the burning of fossil fuels by the many manufacturing industries producing iron and steel‚ automobiles‚ machinery‚ textiles and food. Coal and Oil were the main sources of fuel for the factories which resulted in the release of carbon dioxide‚ sulphur dioxide‚ smoke‚ soot and other particulates. Inefficient machinery and obsolete techniques coupled

Fossil fuels are the remains of organisms that were preserved and altered as a result of geologic forces. It is also clearly seen that industrialized countries depend on fossil fuels a lot. What we human beings do not really care of is that fossil fuels will exhaust one day. Even though we know that fossil fuels are non-renewable energy‚ we

Aim: The aim of this experiment is to determine which fuel‚ out of Pentane‚ Propane-1-ol and Propane-2-ol would be the most appropriate to take on a camping trip to a national park where wood cannot be used to burn. Factors that need to be considered are: • Heat of combustion (flash point) • Heat of vaporisation (boiling point) • How long the fuel will last • Does the fuel heat up the water relatively quickly • Does the fuel combust completely Hypothesis: If the tests are all successful‚ Pentane

turns into radiant energy when ignited‚ to cook food or provide heat when using a gas grill. Currently‚ one of the major sources of energy today is fossil fuels. Fossil fuels contain the stored radiant energy of organisms that lived million of years ago. (Tillery‚ 2009 p67) Petroleum‚ natural gas and coal are all considered fossil fuels as they are all by-products of organisms that lived millions of years ago. Both petroleum and natural gas form from organic sediment‚ materials that have settled

Alternative Energy Alternative energy refers to energy sources that have no undesired consequences such for example fossil fuels‚ nuclear energy and falling water. Fossil fuels are coal‚ petroleum and natural gas. There are some characteristics of the fossil fuels that made the concept of alternative energy come into place. (Alternative Energy) One of the fossil fuels‚ Petroleum‚ forms a thin film around the grains of the rock where it formed. Pressure from the overlying rock and water move the

Community Solar Energy Alternative energy resources are being closely evaluated because of the depletion of nonrenewable resources‚ such as fossil fuels. Fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources have damaged earth because of the amount of pollution that is released some‚ in which is known as Carbon Dioxide. Massive amounts of Carbon Dioxide are that is released into our environment every year further damaging our planet. Scientist has been effectively working on ways of conserving energy
