THE DEPLETION OF FOSSIL FUELS By Zoe Noonan Introduction As the world is becoming more advanced in technology‚ more energy is being used to keep up with the changing requirements. At the current rate at which energy is being used‚ the world will shortly come to an end of fossil fuels- the world’s primary energy resource. Abstract This research paper outlines the problems being faced by the shortage of fossil fuels‚ the effects they are having on the environment and the possible substitutes

Along with a good supply of cool air‚ diesel fuel is an important component of the total diesel propulsion equation. Back in 1876‚ in Pico Canyon‚ California‚ primitive stills were used to boil crude oil at a prodigious rate of 25–40 barrels a day.

The disadvantage is that careful timing is needed to prevent foods such as vegetables from being overcooked . Other methods is stewing‚ but it is a slow method of cooking ‚ similar to boiling but the food is cooked below the boiling point . The advantages is that it tenderizes tough cuts of meat‚ it is relatively economical in use of fuel‚ nutrient

Energy in the form of fossil fuels‚ can it meet all of society’s needs or is it time for us to look at other alternatives before it is too late? The increasing pollution and price of energy has once again ignited the debate about options for future energy. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbon deposits also known as coal‚ crude oil and gas derived from the remains of organic prehistoric plants and animals. They have taken many millions of years to form. Coal is ground to a fine dust when crushed and

The Standard Oil company. John Rockefeller‚ the owner of Standard Oil‚ took over the oil industry‚ he would put his prices low so that everyone would buy his oil over the others and when that would happen the other businesses would go out of business and so Rockefeller would buy them out and jack up the prices because there was no one else to go to. This issue is very important to the people that buy the oil because the oil would be necessary to them and they would have to buy his oil because he had

Global warming is commonly referred to as an increase in the temperature of the lowest layers of Earth’s atmosphere. Global warming has occurred in the distant past as the result of natural influences‚ but the term is most often used to refer to the warming predicted to occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases. Primary greenhouse gases include water vapor‚ carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ and ozone . Carbon dioxide‚ as well as other greenhouse gases‚ is a very important

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
