alkane‚ the main component of natural gas‚ and probably the most abundant organic compound on earth. For this experiment we had created a bio gas generator. A biogas generator is any gas fuel derived from the decay of organic matter‚ as the mixture of methane and carbon dioxide produced by the bacterial decomposition of sewage‚ manure‚ garbage‚ or plant crops. Using a slurry mix of manure and cut grass we came up with the hypothesis “The more volume of slurry‚ the more gas will be produced”. Our independent

The shale contains largely untapped natural gas reserves‚ and its proximity to the high-demand markets along the East Coast of the United States makes it an attractive target for energy development.[Hydro-fracking is different from conventional natural gas drilling because it uses a lot more water (billions of gallons). There’s an increased potential for toxicity and long term impacts in hydro-fracking

in the news quite recently and perhaps wondered if the reality is as ugly as the word. There is an ever rising body of evidence‚ that there are inherent and unacceptably high environmental and health risks associated with coalbed methane and shale gas extraction - hydraulic fracturing (fracking). This is fast becoming a global issue happening in our own back gardens‚ it ’s contaminating our water supplies and tampering with mass food production industries. Something must clearly be done about fracking

The impacts of natural gas on environment are less than those produced from both oil and coal (Roarty‚ 2008). While its owing of oil is small‚ Australia has an acceptable storage of natural gas‚ he adds. Another claim for mixing of energy sources in Australia is that the diversification of power sources‚ by using clean energy‚ is beneficial

extract gas from the rock bed in the Earth’s crust. It is commonly referred to as ‘fracking’. The process is carried out by breaking apart the rocks by the addition millions of gallons of water‚ sand and chemicals preceded by the explosion of the rock bed. It is most commonly practiced in the United States; this technique hasn’t been applied in other countries a lot. It is predicted that this would be a solution the ever rising prices of oil and natural gas due to abundance of potential shale gas reserves

pollution can be defined as the means of introducing hazardous materials such as carbon dioxide into the air. Society as a whole should educate themselves about three major causes of air pollution‚ car pollution‚ industrial pollution and pollution from natural causes such as forest fires and volcanic eruptions. Society should do this so they can take the appropriate remedial actions. Air pollution from car exhaust has become a serious issue‚ first off Industrial pollution is one of the biggest man mad

Shale drilling can be attributed to several factors. The industry has rushed to shift resources to areas that produce crude oil‚ like the Bakken Shale in North Dakota and the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas‚ which sells for higher prices than gas. And other shale gas fields like the booming Marcellus Shale have surpassed the Barnett in daily production‚ further pushing the 30-year-old North Texas fields into the background” (Star Telegram) In 2009 my company XTO Energy Inc. had twenty eight drilling rigs

There are several different forms of energy I use throughout the year at home‚ work‚ and while traveling and the amounts of these energies I use varies with the different seasons. At home the main sources of energy used is the fossil fuel‚ natural gas‚ and the secondary energy electricity. Electricity is a secondary source because it is converted by using other primary sources of energy such as coal‚ nuclear‚ or solar energy (“Electricity Basics”‚ n.d). I rely on these two main forms of energy
