society [which] we have relied on to run our ships and airplanes‚ heat our homes‚ fuel our cars‚ carpet our floors‚ clothe our bodies‚ brush our teeth‚ and wax our surfboards. In short‚ thousands of industrial‚ domestic‚ and recreational petroleum applications may not be possible in the coming century." It is vital to switch to renewable sources of energy which draw upon the natural forces on Earth to convert energy to be used for the processes which oil currently powers. The greenhouse effect means

Fuels Investigation Aim: To find out which fuel gives out the most energy. Planning We will be using 6 different fuels to heat up 100ml of water‚ and find out the changes of the temperature. We will measure the temperatures of the water before and after the experiment. We will burn heat the water for exactly 2 minutes‚ and check the changes in temperature. The change in temperature will allow us to work out the energy given off the fuel by using this formula: Mass of water x 4.2 (water’s specific

Chemistry design: Fuel energy lab Research question: What is the energy density of cyclohexane‚ and how does it compare to the energy density of normal hexane? Variables: Independent variable – The independent variable in this experiment will be the type of fuel that will be used. This will be either Hexane or Cyclohexane. Each type will be given to us and labelled so it will be quite simple to control this variable. This cannot be measured using any apparatus so the lab assistant must be entrusted

Dillon G. Nuclear Energy vs. Conventional Petroleum Energy Through out the history of the United states the main source of energy has been conventional Oil‚ Coal‚ and gas energy‚ or better known as Conventional petroleum energy. However as the demand for electricity sky rockets the pollution produced from the traditional fossil fuel burning plants is reaching dangerous levels. Gas‚ coal and oil burning power plants are as of now responsible for half of America’s air pollution (tripod/online)

Biodiesel Fuel The biggest problem the United States faces today when we talk about becoming energy independent is replacing the gas we use to power our vehicles. When we talk about replacing gasoline as the fuel we use to power our vehicles‚ biomass‚ hydrogen‚ and fuel cells are the three most talked about alternatives. Biomass‚ which is organic material made from plants and animals‚ contains stored energy from the sun. Biomass in the form of bio fuels can be used to make the same products

What is Alternative Fuels Alternative Fuels come from resources other than petroleum. Alternative fuel uses sources like corn‚ vegetable oils‚ animal fats‚ natural gas‚ propane and hydrogen. Various Alternative Fuels are produced domestically‚ thus reducing our dependence on imported oils and some are derived from renewable sources. Alternative fuel produces less pollution than normal gasoline or diesel (U.S. Department of Energy‚ n.d. ). Alternative fuel is produce for a variety of vehicles

A Fuel Alternative. The Search for an Alternative Fuel to Save the Environment… And Our Pockets. Long gone are the days were one could drive into a petrol station and fuel up your highly inefficient gas guzzling vehicle without a care for the environment and sustainability. The recent spike in the price at the bowser‚ damage to the environment and diminishing reserves has made it clear that a new‚ sustainable and clean fuel must be created in order for our vehicles and economy to operate.

The word ’fossil’ has been derived from the Latin word ’Fossilium’‚ which literally means anything dug out of the earth’. These are recognisable remains of once-living plants or animals‚ most of which have been extinct for many thousands of years. They were preserved in sediments‚ rocks and other materials such as ice‚ tar‚ amber etc. prior to historic times. Thus‚ the remnants of plants or animals of the past geologic ages preserved in the rocks of the earth’s crust by natural processes are known
