Energy Conservation (Saving Fossil Fuels)
PRESENTATION FOR 8-Cs PROJECT

Gas which is used for burning is produced from the fossil fuels, which at the moment are decreasing at a much faster rate than they are being produced. Cow Dung is a place below earth surface where all waste of animals and rubbish from city is stored. Together the waste of animals and rubbish produces a gas called bio-gas which can be used for burning. In this way, rubbish which is burnt & makes pollution can be made into a useful gas and our fossil fuels can be saved, making a better future for our new generations, that’s why scientists say that WASTE…………..IS NOT A WASTE!!!!!!!!
Electricity is produced by hydro-electric power, wind power, solar power and geothermal power. All of these ways are expensive which neither a normal nor a poor country can afford. In poor countries the city’s waste water and the factories waste water is discharged into the sea, making it polluted. People drinking river water die and marine life also cannot survive. To prevent this, all the waste water can be collected in a closed place which can later be filtrated. Some of this water can be send back to the city after some treatment, through pipes and the rest can be boiled in boilers to produce steam which will run the turbine and electricity will be produced in the cheapest ways. This process can be done by poor countries & marine life will return & fewer diseases will be spread through water & the seas will remain clean.
Another way of conserving fossil fuels is the process of the poultry plant. In this plant the feathers of hens, which can be found in large amounts, are used to produce fuel. These feathers are placed in water and then the water is hydrolyzed. During the hydroilisation process fats from the feathers starts to float on the surface of the water. The fats are then collected and enzymes are provided to this fatty acid. The enzymes break the fatty acid into 12-carbon and 8-carbon long chain, which are diesel and petrol respectively. These

    In a balanced energy regime, fossil fuels should be used only in specific areas with a limited allowance each year. In the future, fossil fuels can be used in less developed area with limited exposure to high-end technology, and it can be stored in fixed quantities as a kind of back up energy sources. I have several reasons behind my proposal. As mentioned in the book, fossil fuels have several major disadvantages. As a result, it should be gradually phased out. The author mentioned that mining itself can cause damages to human beings, generate greenhouse gases and acid rains, and cause mountaintop destructions. However, comparing to clean energies, fossil fuels have their unique advantages even in a balanced energy regime. For example, just…

    A fossil fuel is a natural fuel such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms. There are many environmental and economic costs behind the exploration of fossil fuels, and as demand is ever increasing, these costs in turn are multiplying.…

    A radical energy technology is one that is not classed as “business as usual” and takes a different approach, such as renewable resources, for instance using solar cell technology instead of traditional fossil fuels. It could be a wide range of different technologies, including nuclear, wind, and other fuels. A policy regarding energy or energy consumption reduction could be a target to reduce consumption over the next decades, such as seen in the Kyoto protocol. It could also be more local or domestic such as recycling targets.…

    Fossil fuels comprise 80 percent of current global primary energy demand, and the energy system is the source of approximately two thirds of global carbon dioxide emissions as of 2015 (Foster and Elzinga). For decades, people have argued about whether fossil fuels are helpful to the planet and sustainability. Although, there is no right or wrong answer because renewable and non-renewable resources have disadvantages and advantages. There are very many different variables to be considered in this argumentation. Fossil fuels make up most of Earth’s energy.…

    In 1977, the President of the United States of America, Jimmy Carter, advocated for the use of alternative energy to the American people “because we are now running out of gas and oil, we must prepare quickly to strict conservation [of fossil fuels] and to the use of coal and permanent renewable energy sources, like solar power.” More than thirty years later his announcement still rings true and is relevant. In fact, the current situation of non-renewable fuels is worse than in 1977. This is because American and global society is becoming more mobile and active, which is causing fossil fuels to be diminished at a higher rate than ever. Scientific discovery like the innovation of steam power and river power in the nineteenth century was a catalyst for meeting energy needs. Almost two hundred years later, the time to update energy solutions has arrived. Even though people disagree, alternative energy is the correct solution to the problem of diminishing fossil fuels. Therefore it is imperative that alternative energy be used more often than non-renewable resources due to their renewability, benefits to the environment and humankind, and its ability to stimulate the economy with an independent energy market.…

    The flip of a switch, turn of a key, or the press of a button is all it takes to power up almost everything today. One simple motion holds the key to our future and unlocks our past, but at what price? With sources that were once thought to be endless, energy consumption and its byproducts has now become a front runner among debates. A far sight from the campfire and miles away from its full potential what does tomorrow hold for energy consumption and its effect on the planet?…

    What Is Combustion?

    Combustion is the rapid burning of fossil fuels. Stored carbon in coal, oil and natural gas returns to the atmosphere when these fossil fuels are burnt and during natural combustion occurrences such as volcanic eruptions. Fossil Fuels such as coal are constructed when a living organism dies and decomposers, ie Fungi and microbes are unable to decompose it. After the organic material is untouched for millions of years, it eventually turns into fossil fuels. Petroleum, coal and natural gas Carbon is stored in fossil fuels until they are released from the ground and burnt. Fossil fuels are extracted from the ground via mining. The fossil fuels are later used in many ways to benefit humans. For example, they are used to power…

    The debt over burning fossil fuels and the impact it has caused on climate change as been discussed over years without answer as to say if the gradual warming of the earth is a natural process or if human activity has added to the acceleration of climate change or is the key behind it. Evidence of this is the hockey stick debt as temperature rise rapidly once humans became developed. One thing we do know is that there are many natural events that possibly could accelerate global warming but also many human factors to. Thus making climate change hard to blame on human activities like burning fossil fuels and or nature.…

    There are many reasons for non-utilization of wastes which are stated by interviewees. Respondents told as they are having no place to do decomposition of wastes they are throwing it for thrash. Decomposition is not the cup of tea for the people who are living in apartments. Lack of time and patience is another reason, for example, to prepare snacks using pumpkin seed it is cumbersome to remove the upper layer of the seeds which requires a lot of effort and time. Instalment of biogas plant requires more money which is another barrier for not utilization of waste for biogas production. Even though most of the people are aware of utilizing the waste but there are people still who are not aware of many methods by which those wastes can be utilized. Lack of interest and negligence is the other reason for not utilizing the waste. Following statements answer the question, ‘why people are not utilizing fruits and vegetable…
