Extractions: Kyoto Declaration The quest for oil has defined the twentieth century. Many still view oil as black gold, a resource to be exploited as economically and expediently as possible. But those who seek to emulate the reserves of Rockefeller or the size of Shell with the power of petroleum are running out of time. Oil's day is over. Over 800 billion barrels of oil have been burned since the search for oil began in 1859. What has happenned to those 800 billion barrels, what it has cost to get those 800 billion barrels, and why we cannot afford to burn 800 billion more, is the subject of this report. It's not that we're running out of oil - it's that we cannot afford to burn what we already have. This business cannot continue as usual. As this report reveals, the oil industry currently spends $156 billion annually seeking new reserves of oil and gas. Meanwhile, the world's top climate scientists agree that to burn this new petroleum ensures devastating climate change. If we burn more than approximately a quarter of existing reserves, we risk sufferring the worst impacts of climate change. Why then, is the industry still looking for more?

The thermal conversion factors are given in Appendix A of each issue of Monthly Energy Review, published by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Results are expressed in terms of heat energy obtained from each fuel type. These energy values were obtained from the State Energy Data Report (EIA, 2003a), ( http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/states/sep_use/total/csv/use_csv.html

http://planetforlife.com/transition/beyond.html

Extractions: A world without abundant and cheap energy is not the future that most Americans imagine, but it is a fact. Bigger and more powerful automobiles, faster air travel, bigger homes, etc. are what most Americans expect the future to bring. None of these things are possible without abundant and cheap oil and natural gas. Some predict a very bleak future. This is a world wide problem. All countries will be affected and cooperation between them is a paramount necessity. However, the United States is the biggest consumer of oil (on a per capita basis) in the world and therefore the most dependent. If we do nothing, our children will inherit a country with a nonfunctioning transport system. If we do nothing, our children will be cold and hungry. A reduction in energy consumption might be merely inconvenient, or it might be a disaster. It depends on how the problem is addressed. Without oil and gas, farmers can't produce food. Without oil, truckers can't deliver food and people can't get to stores. Without gas and oil, electricity production will be curtailed resulting in rolling blackouts and outages. Without electricity, oil, and gas, people will not be able to heat their homes. The first step toward a long term solution is energy conservation. This can be done immediately and no new technology needs to be developed. Conservation buys time that can be used to develop a transport system that does not use oil. Also, oil will be needed to build the new transport system. Extreme energy conservation measures will be needed to live with sustainable energy resources.

http://www.eas.asu.edu/~holbert/eee463/FOSSIL.HTML

Extractions: There are three classes of fossil fuels: coal oil natural gas The general chemical formula for the hydrocarbon compounds is H x (H C) y although they are many times composed with nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur derivatives. Some important hydrocarbons are methane (CH ), ethane (C H ), propane (C H ), and butane (C H ). Burning of sulfur creates SO which reacts with atmospheric water vapor to form acid rain. natural gas consists mostly of ethane and ethane; whereas liquified petroleum gas (LPG) is primarily composed of propane and butane. Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel in the U.S. Coal found in the eastern U.S. typically has high-sulfur and is found in deep deposits (underground shaft mined); conversely, western coal is of low-sulfur content found at the surface (strip or open-pit mined). One of the important properties of a fuel is its heating value (the negative of the heat of combustion). In most instances, the higher heating value (HHV) of the fuel is quoted. However, the lower heating value (LHV) may be a more appropriate quantity since the heat to vaporize any moisture in the fuel is accounted for (i.e., LHV=HHV - h fg water In any discussion of fossil fuels it is necessary to examine the combustion process. There are three important exothermic chemical reactions:

Extractions: GREET Projects Role of Biomass in America's Energy Future As members of a multidisciplinary research team, CTR researchers are analyzing and assessing the potential of transportation fuels derived from cellulosic biomass in the years 2015 to 2030. Biofuels offer substantial savings in petroleum and fossil fuel consumption. By switching to cellulosic E85, bio-Fischer-Tropsch diesel (FTD), or bio-dimethyl ether (DME) in passenger cars and light-duty trucks, the U.S. transportation sector can potentially reduce its use of petroleum by 68% (cellulosic E85) to 93% (bio-FTD and bio-DME) and fossil energy by 65% (cellulosic E85) to 88% (bio-FTD and bio-DME). Without gasoline blending (i.e., with ethanol [EtOH] in E85) the fossil energy reduction increases to 89% and the petroleum reduction to 93%. With support from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the CTR conducted a mobility chains (or well-to-wheels) analysis with the G reenhouse gases, R egulated E missions, and E nergy use in T ransportation ( GREET ) model developed at Argonne. The mobility chains analysis was intended to estimate the energy consumption and emissions associated with applications of different production biofuels in light-duty vehicle technologies.

Extractions: Contrary to conventional wisdom, the use of fossil fuels for household cooking and heating may make more environmental sense for the estimated 2 billion rural poor in the world, according to a researcher from the University of California, Berkeley. Because they contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuels have been largely dismissed as a viable alternative for the one-third of the world's population who now use coal and local biomass - including wood, crop residues and dung - for cooking and heating, said Kirk R. Smith, professor and chair of environmental health sciences at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health. Efforts have been focused on equipping the rural poor with renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. But in an editorial appearing this week in the journal Science, Smith argues that switching all 2 billion of the world's poor to liquefied petroleum gas for household use would add a scant 2 percent to the global greenhouse gas emissions of fossil fuels. At the same time, using gas fuel would decrease the environmental impact on local biomass resources. The environmental impact of this dependence on local biomass for household fuel has already been documented in some regions of the world. According to the 2001 Annual Report by The Nature Conservancy, a non-profit environmental organization, the use of wood to fuel cook stoves and to heat homes in China's Yunnan Province is leading to deforestation and contributing to soil erosion.

ABSTRACT Forty-two academically gifted and thirty-two average-achieving elementary students in grades one through six were interviewed to determine ideas concerning fossil fuel energy. There were no significant differences between the responses of the two populations. Major categories of misconceptions encountered during interviews included misconceptions about: configuration or distribution of petroleum reservoirs, gasoline manufacture and storage, the origin of petroleum, the importance of petroleum in our society, petroleum prospecting and recovery; and the nature of coal and natural gas. Misconceptions about fossil fuels arise for a variety of reasons. Students sometimes misunderstand scenes from movies, televisions shows or cartoons, make incorrect analogies with more familiar experiences, misinterpret diagrams in printed materials, misconstrue the meanings of symbols, or confuse similar-sounding terms or words with more than one meaning.

Now, being one of those that, 30 years ago, would post predictions on the board outside my office, I now know that there are a lot of unforeseen circumstances that can influence demand, and hesitate to date peak oil. But that being said, it is a fool that ignores the warning signs of trouble ahead. This awareness of concern began, for me, with a Michael Lynch comment last year that oil prices would, by now, have dropped back to $30 a barrel. And from there, as I looked further, that price seemed harder and harder to defend. Move ahead a year and a bit, and this situation remains much worse than the optimists might have it. I suppose that I would be less concerned if I could find more credibility in the arguments thrown up against the positional sense that has developed at this site over the past few months.
