Fossil fuel

on its own; in fact we use combustion of fossil fuels to produce energy. The word combustion by itself will give you a heads up of understanding the relation between energy and global warming. Combustion means burning; and burning fossil fuels is very important to us because it is our source of energy, but if we don’t help in saving energy, factories will burn more and more fossil fuels to produce more energy for us. The more the factories burn fossil fuels the more pollution it will cause,…

Current Knowledge on the Problem Nowadays, people use fuel as a source of energy which helps them improve their economic well-being and living status. However, its usage has come with a cost because its burning and continued popularity is a major factor contributing to global warming (IPPC). It also has a negative impact on the economy. In its composition, only 565 gigatons out of 2765 of carbon dioxide contained in the fossils is burnt before its negative effects on the globe turn irreversible…

development swiftly influenced our dependence on fossil fuels. Massive consumption of oil, coal, and gas drastically transformed our settlements into powerhouses for further progression. We now have electricity for lighting, gasoline for transportation, and coal for power sources. However, fossil fuels are being consumed at a rate faster than we can recover. The only possible key is to achieve a more balanced energy mix between mass burning of fossil fuels and clean renewable energy. In this…

affect humanity and all living creatures on a global scale in spite of the fact that there are a copious amount of cleaner and renewable energy sources out there who’s only byproduct is a better Earth; as such, it is becoming poignantly clear that Fossil fuels are not only diminishing, but harming the environment as well and alternative energy sources must be explored in order to counteract this. One expanse of energy that has not yet been fully explored is the ocean. Waves in the ocean create a…

Also transporting fossil fuels is relatively easy, with pipes, planes, and automobiles we can get these fuels wherever and whenever they are needed. In addition, yes these fuels are cheap, reliable, and easy to acquire, but they are constantly polluting our environment. The United States is the world’s second highest greenhouse gas emitting country…

decreasing human dependence of fossil fuels, using more renewable resources, and utilizing the process of carbon sequestration. II.…

often confused with fossil fuels because biomass usually relies on organic matter. According to Dr. Charlotte Williams from Imperial University’s Department of Chemistry, biomass has completely different molecules compared to that of hydrocarbons from oil. Which means that there is a chance to make high values such as plastics to fuels by creating and developing new techniques of extorting energy out of the biomass’ resources, especially plants. Biomass should be used over fossil fuels because…

driving the Earth to extinction. The study of the earth and how it works allows scientists to develop new ways to try to save the Earth. While many debate the existence of climate change, it is a very real thing causing harm to our planet. The use of fossil fuels, and the development of new alternative energy sources could be the solution. Climate Change One of the biggest factors changing our earth is global warming. Two major factors causing the change include human change and natural climate.…

Nonrenewable energy resources, such as fossil fuel, being depleted at an increasingly distressing rate. Therefore, other options for transportation fuel that consist of renewable energy resources, has been taken under consideration. Ethanol is such a resource, which encourages the rise of an optimistic outlook in satisfying the continuously staggering need for energy resources. Although, ethanol has an array of potentials to diminish the need for transportation fuel, it does not come without…

the Future? Everything humans need come from our planet whether it is food, water, metals or fuels. It has been determined that if we use up any one of these resources then we will be without forever. Fossil fuels, coal, oil, and natural gas are non-renewable resources. Formed from plant and animals that lived up to 300 million years ago, fossil fuels are found in deposits deep beneath the earth. The fuels are burned to release the chemical energy that is stored within this resource. Energy…
