Fossil fuels are energy sources that we extract from the ground. They include coal, gas and oil. They formed in the earth over millions of years from decaying plants and animals. Fossil fuels are burned to supply us with electricity and heating, and to run cars, boats and planes. However, burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is changing the atmosphere's composition and leading to climate change. Why should we stop using them? To avoid dangerous climate change, we must stick to a strict 'carbon budget'. Greenpeace developed a concept called the

Some of the costs of using these fuels are obvious, such as the cost of labor to mine for coal or drill for oil, of labor and materials to build energy-generating plants, and of transportation of coal and oil to the plants. These costs are included in our electricity bills or in the purchase price of gasoline for cars. But some energy costs are not included in consumer utility or gas bills, nor are they paid for by the companies that produce or sell the energy. These include human health problems caused by air pollution from the burning of coal and oil; damage to land from coal mining and to miners from black lung disease; environmental degradation caused by global warming, acid rain, and water pollution; and national security costs, such as protecting foreign sources of oil.

Ecotricity Fossil Fuels Geothermal Energy Hydro Power Nuclear Energy Solar Power ... next> FOSSIL FUELS Home Energy Fossil Fuels Back in the sixties, 75% of energy generated in the UK came from coal, with the remainder coming from oil. Today coal is much less important and other energy sources, particularly gas and oil have come to the fore. But we are now about to see an energy revolution as fossil fuels are replaced with non-poluting and renewable energy sources. Coal, oil and gas are called fossil fuels not only because they are dug from the ground but because they derive from trees and other living creatures which grew or lived millions of years ago. Fossil fuels are non-renewable sources of energy, once used they aren't replaced. Oil and gas are forecast to run out in 40-65 years, coal reserves are larger and could last 200 years (if we dare use it!). The main problem with fossil fuels is not that they are running out, but that they release carbon dioxide when burnt - the main cause of global warming and climate change. Other forms of pollution - sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide -are also emitted by fossil fuels.and these can cause severe health problems such as smog in industrial cities. Acid rain is another environmental problem caused by burning fossil fuels. The drilling, transporting and refining of oil, coal and gas causes additional environmental damage.

Merit Badge Trail Introduction Plate Tectonics Time Scale and History Formation of the Ouachitas ... Careers Geology and Sources of Energy by Steve Sharp, P.E. S ome of our mineral resources can be taken out of the ground and used for fuel. Raw materials have two sources: they can be grown or they can be mined. Coal, oil and gas are collectively called fossil fuels, because they formed from organic (living) matter. Uranium is also a source of energy that is taken out of the ground. These fuels that are mined are called non-renewable resources, because we can't replace them. That's why wise use of our raw materials is important. The ways that electricity was generated in Arkansas in 1997. This data is from the Energy Information Agency. There are several naturally occurring sources of energy that are used in Arkansas to generate electricity. Electricity is perhaps the most readily available form of energy that we all use everyday in our homes, schools, offices, businesses and factories. Coal, natural gas, fuel oil, uranium and falling or flowing water are all used to generate large amounts of electricity in Arkansas. Wind and solar energy are also used by some, but the amount of electricity they generate is very small. Coal, natural gas and the crude oil from which fuel oil can be refined are all present in Arkansas. No minable amount of uranium occurs here.

World Fossil Fuel Supply C Natural Gas Formation Most natural gas is formed from plankton —tiny water-dwelling organisms, including algae and protozoans—that accumulated on the ocean floor as they died. These organisms were slowly buried and compressed under layers of sediment. Over millions of years, the pressure and heat generated by overlying sediments converted this organic material into natural gas. Natural gas is composed primarily of methane and other light hydrocarbons. As discussed previously, natural gas frequently migrates through porous and fractured reservoir rock with petroleum and subsequently accumulates in underground reservoirs. Because of its light density relative to petroleum, natural gas forms a layer over the petroleum. Natural gas may also form in coal deposits, where it is often found dispersed throughout the pores and fractures of the coal bed.

The electricity generated in different areas of the United Stated are placed onto a series of wires that connect to each other. Electricity maybe produced in Washington state but will be consumed by a home owner in Los Angeles, California. The electricity was sent through the grid. The California electric company would have purchased the electricity from the Washington state company and the delivery of energy came through the grid. A customer does not receive only the Washington state power but would be using energy from a pool(several suppliers). What are "fossil fuels" and why are they called that?

The New Economics Foundation (Nef) says the cost of climate change and oil scarcity will otherwise scupper attempts to help the world's poorest. It wants an end to subsidies for fossil fuel projects, and nuclear power. Over the next decade, it says, two billion of the poorest people should be given access to clean energy. In a report, The Price Of Power, Nef says: "Renewable energy is the great, barely-tapped solution to the two great challenges of the coming century - poverty and global warming." It says the costs of natural disasters mostly linked to global warming reached $60bn last year, with the warming triggered by the burning of fossil fuels - coal, oil and gas.

Table: Fuel usage efficiency There are constant, ill-informed debates and reports that suggest that we can easily replace our fossil fuel usage by wind, or solar cell power, or some such method. Within current technology, this is a pipe-dream, it is impossible, it simply cannot be done. This does not mean that we are all dooooooooomed; but we are faced with a tremendous problem as reserves of fossil fuel, especially cheap pumpable oil, diminish. See World oil resources table for details.

Jevons, in The Coal Question , drew attention to the Watt steam engine. It was invented because the older Newcomen engine was so inefficient. But making steam power more efficient made the use of steam power spread more widely, and therefore coal consumption increased. See here economic efficiency is not energy efficiency economic efficiency Consider a machine that is sold for $100, which lasts only a year, and then a solidly made version of the machine, that costs $300 and which lasts for 10 years.

Importance of structure Most of world's reserves of oil and natural gas contained in deformed rocks fig Most coal exploited from relatively undeformed sedimentary strata. Importance of depositional environment A few large oil fields in lake (lacustrine) sediments. Mostly sediments with lots of marine organic matter yield large amounts of oil and gas. Importance of high productivity and good preservation (low oxygen or anoxic basins). Coal forms from peat which accumulates in bogs and swamps ( fig Freshwater swamps are low in sulfate and thus the goal generated is lower in sulphur. Importance of burial and thermal reactions Burial preserves the organic carbon from oxidation and predation. Chemical changes accompany conversion from plants to peat, thence to lignite, to sub-bituminous coal, bituminous coal, and semi-bituminous coal, finally to anthracite coal, and ultimately to graphite. As heating progresses at higher and higher temperatures ( fig carbon content increases.
