simplest alkane‚ and the principal component of natural gas. Methane’s bond angles are 109.5 degrees. Burning methane in the presence of oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water. The relative abundance of methane makes it an attractive fuel. However‚ because it is a gas at normal temperature and pressure‚ methane is difficult to transport from its source. It is generally transported in bulk by pipeline in its natural gas form‚ or LNG carriers in its liquefied form; few countries transport it by truck.

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

Natural Gas Natural Gas for use in automobiles is very popular in America because more than 80% of the natural gas used in U.S.A is produced in the country making it a lot cheaper than conventional petroleum [3]. It is used either as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) when running motor vehicles. Moreover‚ it promises a reduction in smog of between 60 & 90% [3]

such as liquefied natural gas can greatly reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses. If the 8 million class 8 vehicles on the road today were to switch to natural gas; that would mean a reduction of 2.5 million barrels of imported oil per day‚ according to T. Boone Pickens‚ founder of Clean Energy. A reduction in the 2.5 million barrels of oil imported per day would certainly put a dent in the 35 billion gallons of diesel consumed per day by the trucking industry.

The Solution to the Earths’ Energy Conservation Problem Gas prices have hit $6.00 a gallon! That is a scary thought‚ but reality is if we don’t start conserving our energy sources now‚ that is exactly what we will get gas for $6.00 a gallon or maybe even more. In today’s society we are only worried about the here‚ and the now. We all need to start thinking long term and come up with ideas for preserving our future.

Explain the possible impacts on UK energy security of the trends shown. (10) The Overall trend in the amount of energy use shown in Figure 1 is not dramatically changed. The amount has only increased by 20 million tonnes (in equivalent of oil) between 1970 and 2030‚ not much when the overall use in 2030 is expected to be a staggering 230 million tonnes. This does not indicate insecurity as such because the increase itself is not outside of our capabilities to obtain the energy. We faced an increase
