for two reasons. First reason, if we continue to use fossil fuel, the planet may be in danger and may cause carbon dioxide emissions. The carbon dioxide is increasing the planet’s temperature, which in turn will destroy us and our entire ecosystem. The second reason is we need to find energy sources that do not put out carbon dioxide (i.e.) fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are not renewable and are harmful to the environment. Also, fossil fuel cost goes up every day. With more and more countries…

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…

Beginning in the 1960’s nuclear power was believed to be an attractive alternative to fossil fuels and was even referred to as the energy source of the future. To the uninformed the use of nuclear energy may seem frightening because the only thing rumored is the negatives like: the waste, major spills of material and disastrous radioactive accidents, but there are many benefits from the use of this energy source such as: saving millions of lives, a mass reduction of pollution, and an advancement…

There are seven billion people in the world using fuels. Most of the fuel used today comes from fossil fuels. The Depletion of fossil fuels would be disastrous for the world; therefore, many people believe America should switch to solar energy, wind power, or hydroelectric energy. There are disadvantages to switching entirely over to alternative energy such as harm to wildlife, both in the air and on the ground. Also, some health issues have been linked to using alternative energy. At this point…

Gas Prices Rising Fossil fuels are concentrated organic compounds found in the earth's crust. Fossil fuels have been used as a fuel source since the industrial revolution until now, from powering houses and factories to vehicles. But why are gas prices rising? Gas prices are rising overcome that convert all gas sources to propane. The demand for fossil fuels is rising quickly and that makes it harder to get the amount countries need. One of the causes of rising gas prices is due to the United…

new cleaner sources of energy and the explorations of the natural 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…

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.…

throughout the Earth’s history. Many scientists believe that human influences have had a major impact the temperature of the Earth since the start of the Industrial Era. The main influence is the enhanced greenhouse effect, this has occurred from fossil fuels being released into the atmosphere and deforestation for agriculture, urbanisation and industrialisation. The system that the enhanced greenhouse gases are affecting is the Carbon Cycle, by putting more carbon in the atmosphere, human…

buying a vehicle, some people look at the type of fuel it uses and what the cost of the fuel is when they are buying it. Two of the most common fuels are Gasoline and Diesel. This isn't easy since the price at the gas stations keep changing and the way each are used and measured are different. Here are a few things to show some things you can consider. Diesel fuel is denser than gasoline and contains about 11% more energy per volume. Both fuels relatively cost about the same diesel usually…

Meaning we either run out of fossil fuels, or we use so much that we end up killing the earth…
