Uses of fossil fuel Fossil fuels consist of coal‚ petroleum and natural gas that are found under the earth’s surface‚ formed from billions of years of compression and decomposition of dead plant and animal matter. They are the leading source of energy for the mankind and are used for various purposes like energy for transportation‚ electricity‚ manufacturing process and also used in the manufacturing process of day to day items like plastic. Main fossil fuels are. 1. Coal Coal is

Effects of Rising of Fuel Price on Society | Paragraph 1 | Nowadays‚ fuel plays a very important role in our daily life. Without fuel‚ most of the vehicles are unable to function and this no doubt‚ will badly affect everyone daily activities. Therefore‚ in my opinion‚ I strongly agree that the rising fuel price has pushed up the price of other consumer products and this will definitely affect the society. | Introductory sentencesThesis Statement | | | In this essay‚ I would like to touch on

| Fossil Fuel: Natural Gas | Renewable resource: Wind Power | Describe this resource | Natural Gas in a Hydrocarbon gas that is naturally occurring. It consists of mostly methane and is used as fuel for some vehicles and heating the home. | Wind power is one of the cleanest sources of electricity. It usually involves a fan that spins‚ and the energy is transported to a generator. | Advantages of this resource (include at least two) | 1. Very abundant underground.2. Is cleaner than most other

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

fermenting starch‚ wheat and sugar cane. Ethanol is also made from the hydration of ethylene from petroleum‚ though the majority of ethanol is produced by fermentation. It is considered an alternative fuel source as it is regarded to be renewable and more beneficial to the environment. As a car fuel ethanol is blended with petrol in different concentrations. In cars‚ carbon monoxide is produced from the incomplete combustion of petroleum. By adding ethanol which has 35% oxygen the combustion is more

Alternative Fuels People in America do not realize the fact that driving their vehicle is one of the regular activities that they do that has one of the largest impacts on the earth. With more and more cars in use each day‚ the more fossil fuels are called for. Fossil fuels are natural fuels that were formed from the remains of living organisms. These fossil fuels typically take millions of years to be formed. Since most fossil fuels are being imported due to it taking a huge amount of time

6 Ocober 2013 Fossil Fuels and Alternate Energy Sources In the early 1900s‚ fossil fuels were the primary source of energy‚ but in more recent times with reserves diminishing and global warming becoming a major issue‚ we are forced to develop alternate sources of energy. According to Melosi‚ Governments became aware of the effects of fossil fuels as early as the 1950s‚ and in an attempt to combat this‚ they passed laws to try and lower the amount of pollution it caused (The Automobile and

Energy in the form of fossil fuels‚ can it meet all of society’s needs or is it time for us to look at other alternatives before it is too late? The increasing pollution and price of energy has once again ignited the debate about options for future energy. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbon deposits also known as coal‚ crude oil and gas derived from the remains of organic prehistoric plants and animals. They have taken many millions of years to form. Coal is ground to a fine dust when crushed and

Introduction to the Magnetic Treatment of Fuel By R.J. Kita Hydrogen is the lightest and most basic element known to man. With its simple structure comprised of only one proton and one electron‚ it is one of the major constituents of all hydrocarbon based fuels. By studying the response of hydrogen with respect to magnetic fields and the accompanying increased energy output‚ much can be learned and applied to other related fuels. In the oxidation/combustion of hydrocarbon fuels‚ it is the outer shell of the
