Chemistry Assessment Coal is a combustible rock of organic origin composed mainly of carbon (50-98%)‚ hydrogen (3-13%) and oxygen with lesser amounts of nitrogen‚ sulphur and other elements. Some water is always present‚ as are grains of inorganic matter that form an incombustible residue known as ash. In New South Wales‚ black coal is mined near the eastern and western edges of the Sydney-Gunnedah Basin where the seams are relatively close to the surface. Mining along the western edge‚ where

Ukraine is rich in natural resources: coal‚ iron ore‚ manganese‚ nickel and uranium‚ and others. The reserves of sulfur are the largest in the world‚ the reserves of mercury ore are the second largest. Also more than 5% of world reserves of iron ore are concentrated in Ukraine. There are oil and gas deposits but their reserves are not significant (the reserves of these fossil fuels were partly depleted during the Soviet period). Coal is the main fossil fuel of Ukraine. It is mined in the Donetsk

Fossil fuels are being used up at a faster rate than they can regenerate. The British Petroleum report provides alarming figures. At the current rate of consumption‚ the coal reserves on Earth will be spent within 110 years. Global reserves of oil and natural gas are even lower‚ and will be spent within the next fifty years respectively. Despite these statistics suggest that fossil fuels are a reliable long-term energy source‚ these numbers are misleading. Due to global population and energy

In Green World 63 a series of articles appeared which emphasised the Green Party’s policy of not supporting nuclear power. Green Party member and author Mark Lynas is one of a number of environmentalists who now advocate nuclear power as a sensible response to the climate crisis. Being as he was mentioned in the one of the articles‚ Mark asked for the opportunity to clarify his position on the issue. We obliged‚ but asked Jeremy Leggett‚ opposite‚ to defend the Green Party stance. Us greens are

The central government is taking measures to stop approving coal-fired power plants in heavily polluted industrial areas‚ as well as proposing a national blueprint to lower the concentration of harmful particles in the air‚ (most are caused by the burning of coal)‚ by at least 10% in years to come.

There has been a growing environmental problem for China as years progressed‚ its problem is smog‚ and the smog has acted like a blanket and has covered most of Beijing. Oil- and especially coal-burning factories are the main culprits of the current smog problem. The population of china fluctuated between 60-110 million in the past 2000 years. However in the past few years China’s population has risen significantly‚ it is estimated that
