NON RENEWABLE RESOURCES [pic] A non-renewable resource is a natural resource which cannot be produced‚ re-grown‚ regenerated‚ or reused on a scale which can sustain its consumption rate. These resources often exist in a fixed amount‚ or are consumed much faster than nature can recreate them. Fossil fuel (such as coal‚ petroleum and natural gas) and nuclear power are examples. In contrast‚ resources such as timber (when harvested sustainably) or metals (which can be recycled) are considered renewable

The primary objective of this report is to give a few reasons as to what causes prices of oil and prices of gas to rise. Among these reasons‚ speculation of things that may or may not happen‚ like a terrorist strike‚ is one of the leading factors. Another reason for the continued rise in prices of oil and gas is the constant growth

by: Prof. Dr. Osiadacz Andrzej (Head of Gas Engineering Department) Warsaw University of Technology (andrzej.osiadacz@is.pw.edu.pl) Abstract: The Marine compressed natural gas (CNG) was initially envisioned to target small volumes of gas located in relatively closed proximity to markets. However‚ the recent breakthroughs in this technology have suggested‚ and in some cases validated‚ marine CNG’s potential to cost effectively ship much larger volumes of gas over much greater distances.

Common primary energy sources are coal‚ oil‚ natural gas‚ and biomass (such as wood). Other primary energy sources available include nuclear energy from radioactive substances‚ thermal energy stored in earth’s interior‚ and potential energy due to earth’s gravity. The major primary and secondary energy sources are shown in Figure 1.1 Primary energy sources are mostly converted in industrial utilities into secondary energy sources; for example coal‚ oil or gas converted into steam and electricity.

a gold rush going on right now. Man is breaking the earth‚ looking for natural gas. It’s a mad scene‚ with hucksters on every side of the issue. There is a lot going on underground and that process is called Fracking. The word alone can stir up controversy. The process of extracting natural gas through hydraulic fracturing or “fracking‚” might summon in someone’s imagination an environment and damaged communities. Natural gas hides from sight it is invisible. Perhaps envisioned a prettier picture—one
