Biofuels Biofuels are Fuels made from Biomass Biofuels are made from plants‚animals‚ or their waste products. Here I have listed three examples of biofuels beneath. 1 Micro-organisms decompose waste materials to produce biogas. 2 Biogas is usually about 70% methane and somewhere between 20 and 30 % carbon dioxide 3 the way we use it to generate energy is to burn it to heat up water which will then turn a turbine to produce electricity. It is also heard of to heat the water to steam which

According to the Great Archaeology; History of Archaeology’s online glossary‚ the definition of a fossil is "the recognizable remains such as bones shells or leaves other evidence tracks burrows impressions of past life on Earth." In more simple terms‚ a fossil is the preserved evidence of structured organic material that once lived on earth. The same glossary defines a mummy as "a corpse whose skin and organs have been preserved by either intentional or incidental exposure to chemicals‚ extreme

harvest nonrenewable resources such as crude oil‚ coal and nuclear energy. People of the world depend on these resources to survive from day to day‚ either putting gas into your vehicle to get to work or producing coal to run our electricity. While most of these resources take thousands of years to form they cannot be replaced as fast as they are being consumed. We as consumers need to reduce our dependency on these non renewable resources. When producing crude oil in the world we are talking about

The solar energy use in Africa These days‚ solar energy has been the most talkative alternative energy source in the world. Unlike the gas‚ oil‚ and coal‚ solar enrgy is one of the clean and renewable resource‚ which can not only generate power but also protect the environment. Africa‚ has second largest population‚ estimated 1.6 billion‚ however‚ around one third of it’s people still live in the condition with no eletricity. (Renewable energy in Africa

Alternative Fuels for Cars Automobiles are considered one of the largest contributors to climate change – only preceded by the effect of fossil fuel power generation plants [1]. This means that the automobile industry is under a lot of pressure to cut down on carbon emissions globally by finding alternative fuels for cars. Moreover‚ as we approach peak oil [2]‚ the availability of conventional automobile fuels will reduce drastically causing an exponential rise in fuel prices [2]‚ a fact that

Energy is a very important factor that determines how far the cars I made for my project will go. This illustrates how if the car doesn’t have enough kinetic energy the car won’t go very far. According to my research‚ If work‚ which transfers energy‚ is done on an object by applying a net force‚ the object speeds up and thereby gains kinetic energy(Kinetic Energy) which will make

Capitalism and the United States monetary system refuse to productively reduce the the increasing rise of climate change for reasons that benefit only a small amount of profit holders. Malm’s Fossil Capital argues that the systematic methods of capitalism have historically and currently‚ constructed a benefit for capitalists in systematic dualism of power that taxes the environment and the people by utilizing stock power‚ a method of using natural resources for power‚ for an endless‚ increasing profit

Alternative Fuels – Data By: Denise Claire Tan Yet Nee Structure and physical properties of Molecules Nowadays‚ there are a lot of alternative fuels which have discovered by human beings in order to replace the depleting non-renewable fossil fuels supply. In fact‚ organic chemistry has successfully proved that organic compounds can be served substitution of fossil fuel supply. The structure and physical properties of organic molecules are characteristics that aid them to become useful fuels for

BURNING FUELS Fossil fuels can be used to make electricity in a power plant. They are burned to heat water into steam‚ which can push a fan-like object called a turbine. When the turbine turns around‚ magnets in it make electricity. Fossil fuels are fuels formed by natural processes such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms. The fossil fuels are coal‚ oil and natural gas. They are fuels because they release heat energy when they are burned. They are fossil fuels because they

Recently‚ the renewable energy issue is becoming significant all over the world due to increasing power demand‚ instability of the rising oil prices and environmental problems caused by humans. Among the various renewable energy sources‚ fuel cell technology has received great attention as an alternative to the conventional way of getting energy due to its high efficiency‚ clean operation and cost efficient supply of power demanded by the consumers.
