Introduction Fossil Fuels are the most important energy sources in our world today. The overwhelming majority of the huge amount of energy used in the world comes from the burning of three major fossil fuels: coal‚ petroleum‚ and natural gas. Fossil fuels are a non-renewable source of energy‚ and there is no other . They are formed over a very long period of time; the fossil fuels on earth today were formed from plants and animals that lived up to 300 million years ago. These fossil fuels are found in deposits

Hi guys‚ my name is Betty. I am the lead of my group today. I am goanna talk about fuel prices. The issue of fuel is very complex. First‚ what is fuel? It is material such as coal‚ gas‚ or oil that is burned to produce heat or power. And these 3 energies occupy the major parts of fuel use. In the past few years‚ fuel prices went up rapidly. Each country is very sensitive on the price. What causes fuel prices to rise and fall? For instance‚ let us have a look at oil. There are two main reasons

the key sources of energy means; fossil fuels are being depleted in a rapid mode which reflects that we need to concentrate over alternative sources of energy that could also prove to be eco-friendly. But‚ before discussing that it should be better to have an idea about the current scenario and where we are standing today in context of availability of energy resources. At present‚ approximately 80 percent of the energy used by us is supplied via fossil fuels which are called non-renewable energy

What is Alternative Fuels Alternative Fuels come from resources other than petroleum. Alternative fuel uses sources like corn‚ vegetable oils‚ animal fats‚ natural gas‚ propane and hydrogen. Various Alternative Fuels are produced domestically‚ thus reducing our dependence on imported oils and some are derived from renewable sources. Alternative fuel produces less pollution than normal gasoline or diesel (U.S. Department of Energy‚ n.d. ). Alternative fuel is produce for a variety of vehicles

Automobile Pollution. Automobiles can cause many different kinds of pollution in the environment. Air‚ health and groundwater pollution are of the most common. The reasons for these problems can be contributed to exhaust systems and light switches that are standard equipment on most cars today. Older and newer cars alike are equipped with a catalytic converter system. Which are supposed to convert hydrocarbons‚ carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides into harmless materials emitted from the automobiles

Great Impact of Rising Fuel Price Fuel is another transportation system component. Rising of fuel price is one of the major issues facing the transportation industry in Malaysia. Fuel may be gasoline‚ natural gas‚ diesel fuel‚ ethanol‚ methanol‚ coal‚ etc. The costs and efficiency of transportation fuels are considerable interest. (Joseph Sussman; Introduction to Transportation Systems; Transportation System Components; 2000). Fuel price volatility along with overall price increases has been an

United States improved greatly within our own economy‚ leisurely drives and motor sports were derived from the traditional use of the car‚ and the car soon became a mark of status within American society. Starting in the late 1700 ’s‚ European engineers began tinkering with motor powered vehicles. Steam‚ combustion‚ and electrical motors had all been attempted by the mid 1800 ’s. By the 1900 ’s‚ it was uncertain which type of engine would power the automobile. At first‚ the electric car was the most

A Fuel Alternative. The Search for an Alternative Fuel to Save the Environment… And Our Pockets. Long gone are the days were one could drive into a petrol station and fuel up your highly inefficient gas guzzling vehicle without a care for the environment and sustainability. The recent spike in the price at the bowser‚ damage to the environment and diminishing reserves has made it clear that a new‚ sustainable and clean fuel must be created in order for our vehicles and economy to operate.

Biodiesel Fuel The biggest problem the United States faces today when we talk about becoming energy independent is replacing the gas we use to power our vehicles. When we talk about replacing gasoline as the fuel we use to power our vehicles‚ biomass‚ hydrogen‚ and fuel cells are the three most talked about alternatives. Biomass‚ which is organic material made from plants and animals‚ contains stored energy from the sun. Biomass in the form of bio fuels can be used to make the same products
