Ethanol is considered a renewable energy resource; as it is derived from crops such as: corn‚ sugarcane‚ beets‚ as well as‚ other organic materials. The use of ethanol could decrease our dependence on ever depleting supplies of fossil fuels; such as oil. In this paper‚ I will briefly review how ethanol is produced in different parts of the world. I will also review several of the advantages of using ethanol as a renewable source of energy for the transportation sector. Many environmental organizations

PRICE HIKE To understand this term we divide this term into two parts; Price and Hike and explain both the parts separately. Price is the value paid by the provider or supplier in the form of currency for rendering goods & services. While Hike is an abrupt increase or rise. It means that there is rise in prices of the goods/services required by the people living in the world. These goods/services belong to following sectors; 1. Agriculture 2. Health and Medicine 3. Education 4. Manufacturing/Industries

the past 85 years‚ the American Petroleum Institute‚ API‚ has been developing and refining engineering standards and practices for the industry. The past decade has brought about a new practice which involves hydraulic fracturing in order to produce oil and natural gas in places where conventional technologies are ineffective. This is a rather in depth process. Firstly‚ a production drill is drilled through the rock layers to intersect the coal seem that contains coal bed methane‚ CBM. Next‚ fractures

Development) countries‚ but there is a big movement away from oil‚ coal and nuclear towards natural gases and renewable energies. I have learned that despite the growth in low-carbon sources of energy‚ fossil fuels remain dominant in the global energy mix‚ supported by subsidies that amounted to $523 billion in 2011‚ up almost 30% on 2010 and six times more than subsidies to renewable. The cost of fossil-fuel subsides has been driven up by higher oil prices. Energy developments in the United States are profound

If we continue to use energy at such high rates‚ reserves of non-renewable energy may run out really soon. In order to prevent this people must make small changes by using less energy in their daily lives. Even the smallest action can have an impact on the rest of

December 1996 signing of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium agreement to build a new pipeline from western Kazakhstan’s Tengiz Field to the Black Sea increases prospects for substantially larger oil exports in several years. Kazakhstan’s economy turned downward in 1998 with a 2.5% decline in GDP growth due to slumping oil prices and the August financial crisis in Russia. A bright spot in 1999 was the recovery of international petroleum prices‚ which‚ combined with a well-timed tenge devaluation and a bumper

profitability of fossil fuel extraction is fast decreasing and this is inciting countries to use alternative sources such as hydro-electric. Sustained global growth has left the world in a perilous position. In 1850 when the capacity of resources such as oil and coal were first predicted‚ they were deemed to last for centuries. One factor these predictions failed to consider was sudden exponential population growth‚ a function of both technological advances and medical breakthroughs. Fossil fuels were the

In 2015 the United States produced over US over 7.66 billion cubic meters of natural gas in 2015 (cia1). This natural gas was the largest source of electric energy in the country (eia1). The US energy information administration currently estimates that two thirds of this natural gas was extracted from the ground using a process known as hydraulically fractured. This is when hydraulic fluid is injected under high pressures into wells deep underground in order to cause the underground rock formations
