Fuel efficiency

Fossil fuels are the leading producer of the energy that we use. The over use of fossil fuels is leading to an abundance of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. The buildup of carbon dioxide is leading to global warming however, there is something that can help reduce the amount of greenhouse gas being put into our environment. Instead of using fossil fuels to provide energy we can start using wind power. Wind power is considered renewable energy because it continues to exist there is no end to…

speculate that nuclear should be the answer. Although wind energy is a well known renewable energy source, it has raised many questions as to how efficient the machine is, installation costs, efficacy, environmental issues, and, foreign control. Fossil fuels bring their own problems to the table but they can at least power our nation. It all starts with coal plants one…

environmental de-gradation, at almost zero cost, is expected to solve energy problem of the world through the concept called ubiquitous energy. The impact of nanotechnology on seven energy sectors including solar energy, wind energy, nuclear energy, oil-fuel based energy, artificial photosynthesis, energy storage and effective energy management to promote nanotechnology based energy as ubiquitous energy system along with possible business opportunities are discussed and reviewed. Finally, the…

Do you ever wonder who’s responsible for creating the fuel sources that keep our busy world up and running? The answer is chemical engineers. A chemical engineer is a researcher who uses chemistry to solve problems related to the production of food fuel, medicines, and other products. Chemical engineers are a vital part of our society, however their expertise in energy sources is one of the most vital because of its ongoing development in our daily society. Renewable energy sources are energies…

materials to produce fuel. This would also benefit the agriculture industry by providing more jobs to corn planters. Going this route also would lessen the dependence on the Middle East and other countries for oil and fuel. Growing corn for use in ethanol production would also be a more energy efficient way, because there would be less travel of products, resulting in less energy consumption. Disadvantages of growing corn for use in ethanol production would be that it takes fuel to produce and…

its energy through the use of solar panels and creates enough energy in 7 hours to power the whole island day and night. The American Samoa island is one example of how clean, renewable energy is beneficial and more useful than the traditional fossil fuel. According to preview data, the American Samoa island has saved about one-hundred-ten-thousand gallons of oil, and reduced carbon emission by two and a half million pounds, which is pretty drastic considering that just one island could make…

(Thesis) Over the past few years India has experienced rapid GDP growth which has led to the increased use of fossil fuels. Given the country’s many problems the government has had limited success in the implementation of policies designed to offset the increase in fossil fuel. (Key Climate Changes and Risks) India is extremely vulnerable to climate change. Current projections show that there will be a 1.7-2 degree C increase in mean temperature by 2030. Areas in central and western India,…

Hydroelectricity, solar, wind and geothermal are not nearly as efficient as fossil fuels and are exponentially less efficient than the two nuclear sources. These four are all “green” energy sources, which mean they do not produce emissions or pollutants. They are weather dependant for the most part and require a large amount of land to…
