Created by Andy Darvill Science teacher at Broadoak Community School , Weston-super-Mare, England Web site www.darvill.clara.net Coal, Oil and Gas are called "Fossil Fuels" Introduction How it works More details Advantages ... Is it renewable? Introduction Coal, Oil and Gas are called "fossil fuels" because they have been formed from the fossilised remains of prehistoric plants and animals. They provide around 66% of the world's electrical power, and 95% of the world's total energy demands (including heating, transport, electricity generation and other uses). How it works: Coal is crushed to a fine dust and burnt. Oil and gas can be burnt directly. More Details: Coal provides around 28% of our energy, and oil provides 40%. Burning coal produces sulphur dioxide, an acidic gas that contributes to the formation of acid rain. This can be largely avoided using "flue gas desulphurisation" to clean up the gases before they are released into the atmosphere. This method uses limestone, and produces gypsum for the building industry as a by-product. However, it uses a lot of limestone.

10. Fossil Fuels Coal is used to produce almost 60% of our nations electrical power, and accounts for 90% of the energy we use in this country comes from fossil fuels. http://www.umich.edu/~envst320/fossil.html

This page was created as part of a term project for Environmental Studies 320 at the University of Michigan in the fall of 1995. The original author of this page is no longer maintaining it, and is not available for questions. Most of the statistics on this page were gleaned from US Department of Energy pamphlets. While the pamphlet titles aren't available, those of you looking for statistics can find lots of good ones at the DOE Information Administration home page . You can also find out lots of good energy information at the Department of Energy page itself. Fast Facts About Fossil Fuels: First, the USA The United States uses about 17 million barrels of oil every day. Petroleum accounts for nearly 40% of our country's energy. Coal is used to produce almost 60% of our nations electrical power, and accounts for 22% of our overall energy consumption. Natural gas, a third form of fossil fuel, accounts for roughly 23% of The United States energy usage. It takes the equivalent of 7 gallons of gasoline per day for every man woman and child to keep this country running at its current pace. The U.S. is home to 5% of the world's population, yet consumes 26% of the world's energy.

Please visit our sponsor Fossil Fuels Fossil Fuels Coal Gas Oil ... Nuclear There are three types of fossil fuels: coal gas and oil . All of these are burned to produce heat They are so-called because all three are the fossilised remains of plants and sea creatures. When these died, their remains sank to the bottom of oceans. Eventually sedimentary rock formed and the material was altered by heat and pressure inside the earth over millions of years. The result was coal gas and oil . The original source of this energy was the Sun , without which the plants and animals could not have lived. Choose from the links above. Go back a page Energy Menu

Kids Kilowatt Korner Fossil Fuels - Coal, Oil and Natural Gas Where Fossil Fuels Come From There are three major forms of fossil fuels: coal, oil and natural gas. All three were formed many hundreds of millions of years ago- hence the name fossil fuels. The age they were formed is called the Carboniferous Period. It was part of the Paleozoic Era. "Carboniferous" gets its name from carbon, the basic element in coal and other fossil fuels. The Carboniferous Period occurred from about 360 to 286 million years ago. At the time, the land was covered with swamps filled with huge trees, ferns and other large leafy plants. The water and seas were filled with algae - the green stuff that forms on a stagnant pool of water. Algae is actually millions of very small plants. Some deposits of coal can be found during the time of the dinosaurs. For example, thin carbon layers can be found during the late Cretaceous Period (65 million years ago) - the time of Tyrannosaurus Rex. But the main deposits of fossil fuels are from the Carboniferous Period.

Fossil fuels By B AS S.M. Enzler Search: Characteristics, origin, applications and effects of fossil fuels Humans need energy for just about any type of function they perform. Houses must be heated, energy is required for industry and agriculture and even within our own bodies a constant flow of energy takes place. All processes that provide us with the luxuries of every day live we can no longer live without require energy generation. This is an industrial process that can be performed using various different sources. These sources can be either renewable or non-renewable . Renewable energy sources are replaced in time and will therefore not run out easily. However, non-renewable energy sources are threatening to run out if our standard of usage becomes too high. Nowadays many renewable energy sources are available for use, for example solar and wind energy and water power. Ironically, we still gain most of our energy from non-renewable energy sources, commonly known as fossil fuels (figure 1). The non-renewability of these sources will probably cause prices to rise up to a point where they are no longer economically feasible.

The Energy Story Chapter 5: Fossil Fuels - Coal, Oil and Natural Gas Where Fossil Fuels Come From? There are three major forms of fossil fuels: coal, oil and natural gas. All three were formed many millions of years ago during the time of the dinosaurs hence the name fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are made up of decomposed plant and animal matter. Plants change energy they receive from the sun into stored energy. This energy is food used by the plant. This is called photosynthesis. Animals eat plants to make energy. And people eat animals and plants to get energy to do work. When plants and dinosaurs and other ancient creatures died, they decomposed and became buried, layer upon layer under the ground. It took millions of years to form these layers into a hard, black colored rock-like substance called coal, a thick liquid called oil or petroleum, and natural gas. Fossil fuels can be found under the earth in many locations around the country. In California, we have oil and natural gas resources. Each of the fossil fuels is extracted out of the ground differently.
