Alternative fuel

To say that the United States is too dependent on it’s fossil fuels is a massive understatement. It is often difficult to picture our lives without fossil fuels, because around 90% of the world’s electricity demand comes from the use of them (IER 2005). With this being said, if we want to provide the generations long after we are gone with sustainable, renewable, and environmentally appropriate (clean) energy, we certainly have to make big changes. These changes have already started but are…

resources just may help. But is the exploration of natural resources may not be the greatest of solutions for our current environment. Take the world today we run on coal and fossil fuels that damage the earth 's ecosystems put the plant at risk of being uninhabitable. Therefore a need arises to examine alternatives and to look towards ‘greener’ conclusions. The world’s primary energy utilization is made up primarily of nonrenewable sources of eighty plus percent. This poses problems as…

for this project. Following on, the aims and objectives, overview, project scope and structure of this thesis are outlined. 1.1 Motivations The most important aspects of an aircraft, in today’s aerospace industry are environmental friendliness and fuel efficiency.…

1. INTRODUCTION I am a chemical engineer working for Sasol co. . The specialised scope of the company’s product portfolio include manufacturing of fuels, oils, chemical, polymers, fertilizers, explosives and gas. I am instructed to generate 5 ideas for Sasol and determine the best product (line) among them through the multi factor decision making process. I am instructed to use the AHP excel spreadsheet picking 4 criteria of my choice to evaluate the ideas. 2. IDEA GENERATION MIND MAP…

David Suzuki once said, “Some solutions are relatively simple and would provide economic benefits: implementing measures to conserve energy, putting a price on carbon through taxes and cap-and-trade, and shifting from fossil fuels to clean and renewable energy sources.” In this quote, Suzuki suggests that there are many solutions to help vanquish detriments to our environment while benefiting the economy. Currently, the United States Federal Government is considering adopting a nationwide carbon…

everyday necessities. Although there are good advantages to using nuclear energy, there are also many negative effects of using these power plants as well , enough to persuade myself and many others to accept the pollution caused by burning fossil fuels and how rapidly we are…

and pollutants in the air. Acid rain is essentially rainfall made acidic due to atmospheric pollution that causes environmental harm, typically to forests and lakes. The main cause of this dilemma is the industrial burning of coal and other fossil fuels, and the waste gases produced in this process contains sulfur and nitrogen oxides, which combine with atmospheric water to form harmful acids. Acid rain does not have a direct effect on…

underwater turbines are placed in areas with high tidal movements, and tidal has great potential for future power and electricity generation because of the massive size of the oceans. Flowing water in the river and tidal waves can be a good source of alternative energy with 70% of the earth’s surface covered with water a good amount of energy can be produced by placing turbines at strategic locations under storing currents generating electric power is called hydrokinetic power generation, plans…

we avoid the risks of climate change” explores the options in which less fossil fuels are emitted, and more recyclable material is utilized, and gives us other alternative for sources of energy from wind to geothermal to geo-engineering. The costs for their alternative energy sources does tend to be an issue for some consumers, but if we were to increase fossil fuel prices and in turn make cheapest option the alternative, then more people would…

source in this world. This is due to its variety kind of usage that will not only contribute to people but also towards any country that uses this source. For now, fossil fuel is widely being used as the primary oil in a lot of sectors such as transportation, production and manufacturing. As for that, we can conclude that fossil fuel is very important towards enhancing the growth of economy but with all of the advantages, there are also disadvantages. Some of the disadvantages are increasing…
