Advantages of fossil fuels * major advantage of fossil fuels is their capacity to generate huge amounts of electricity in just a single location. * Fossil fuels are very easy to find. * When coal is used in power plants‚ they are very cost effective. Coal is also in abundant supply. * Transporting oil and gas to the power stations can be made through the use of pipes making it an easy task. * Power plants that utilize gas are very efficient. * Power stations that

Southwest Airlines Fuel Hedging and Relations to Profitability Abstract In order to stay airborne‚ a passenger airline has to consistently generate profits. Profits come only from paying passengers‚ hence all stratagems must be customer oriented. In a scenario where there are many airlines competing with each other‚ one way of attracting passengers is to keep the cost of flying low‚ while providing value for money.

Fossil fuels comprise 80 percent of current global primary energy demand‚ and the energy system is the source of approximately two thirds of global carbon dioxide emissions as of 2015 (Foster and Elzinga). For decades‚ people have argued about whether fossil fuels are helpful to the planet and sustainability. Although‚ there is no right or wrong answer because renewable and non-renewable resources have disadvantages and advantages. There are very many different variables to be considered in this

INTRODUCTION According to Wikipedia‚ fuel is any material that stores energy that can later be extracted to perform mechanical work in a controlled manner. A fuel contains energy‚ mostly heat‚ which can be released and then manipulated. Most fuels used by humans undergo combustion‚ a redox reaction in which a combustible substance releases energy after it ignites and reacts with the oxygen in the air. Other processes used to convert fuel into energy include various other exothermic chemical

Using ethanol as an alternate fuel‚ or fuel extender includes a heterogenous agglomeration of advantages and disadvantages. On cars: ethanol is preferable to lead as an octane booster. A 10% addition of ethanol to petrol is more effective than lead at boosting octane rating (+2.5) and making car run smoother. It’s cheaper than lead‚ and ethanol-blended fuels leave no gummy deposits‚ thus keeps engine clean. Although a minimal 10% ethanol blend should be compatible with internal combustion engines

Fossil Fuel Dependency and Americans One of the major underlying problems Americans are faced with today is what to do about the dependency on fossil fuels. Petroleum dependence is a big problem for the United States because the supply will be depleted soon if consumers continue to use it at the rate they use it now. If consumers want to keep their engines running and lights on‚ there must be a drastic change in the sources of energy supply. An issue the whole world faces today is the reliance
