Fossil Fuels Biomass Fossil Fuels Uses Benefits Limitations Geography ... Wind Fossil fuels are energy resources that come from the remains of plants and animals. These remains are millions of years old. There are three fossil fuels: petroleum oil, natural gas, and coal. Above image courtesy EREN Uses Providing Electricity Fueling Transportation infrastructure Heating and Cooling Heating and cooling are also accomplished mainly through the use of fossil fuels like natural gas and oil. Regions of the country that experience harsh winters rely heavily on these fuels to heat their homes and businesses. Regions that stay temperate Benefits One of the biggest benefits of fossil fuels is their cost. Coal, oil and natural gas are abundant right now and relatively inexpensive to drill or mine for. In fact, coal is the most plentiful fossil fuel and it is found over much of the world. Because the costs are contained, electricity and fuels for transportation and heating are available to everyone. Limitations Nonrenewable Resource Fossil fuels are a nonrenewable resource. Fossil fuels take millions of years to develop under extreme conditions. Once they are gone, they can no longer be part of our energy mix.

Gasoline Data Data Data Energy Data Energy Data State Data Book (has a section on transportation) Department of Taxation - fuel tax rates and collections report Hawaii's Energy Sources Energy is generally used in three forms: electricity (such as from the electric utility company, or from batteries); transportation fuels (such as from gasoline stations); and fuel gases (such as from the gas utility company). These forms provide power to homes and businesses; fuel for cars, trucks, and airplanes; and heat for cooking and industrial processes. (For more information on energy use, see Energy Use Hawaii's energy comes from different sources, as shown in the graph below. Petroleum (crude oil) is the basis for about 90% of Hawaii's energy needs. Biomass and municipal solid waste (MSW), coal, and other sources (hydroelectric, geothermal, solar and wind) provide the rest. The fuel mix in Hawaii for electricity generation is different from most of the rest of the United States. Hawaii's dependence on petroleum for about 90% of its energy needs is more than any other state in the nation. And, unlike other states, Hawaii has neither fossil fuel reserves, nor pipelines, nor land connections to other sources of petroleum. All of the petroleum must be shipped in; Hawaii has no local sources.

Petroleum(Oil) A Fossil Fuel How Oil Was Formed Where We Get Oil Crude Oil is Made into Different Fuels - like gasoline diesel , and propane Oil and the Environment energy calculator links page ... recent statistics HOW OIL WAS FORMED Oil was formed from the remains of animals and plants that lived millions of years ago in a marine (water) environment before the dinosaurs. Over the years, the remains were covered by layers of mud. Heat and pressure from these layers helped the remains turn into what we today call crude oil . The word "petroleum" means "rock oil" or "oil from the earth." HOW WE GET OIL Crude oil is a smelly, yellow-to-black liquid and is usually found in underground areas called reservoirs. Scientists and engineers explore a chosen area by studying rock samples from the earth. Measurements are taken, and, if the site seems promising, drilling begins. Above the hole, a structure called a 'derrick' is built to house the tools and pipes going into the well. When finished, the drilled well will bring a steady flow of oil to the surface. The world's top five crude oil-producing countries are: Saudi Arabia Russia United States Iran China and Mexico are tied for 5th.

Electricity Electricity Publications Electric Power Industry Overview Chapter 4 Fossil Fuel Consumption, Stocks, and Receipts Various energy sources are used to produce electricity. Fossil fuels supply about 70 percent of the energy sources for the generation requirements of the Nation. Coal, petroleum, and gas are currently the dominant fossil fuels used by the industry; other fossil fuels include petroleum coke, refinery gas, coke oven gas, blast furnace gas, and liquefied petroleum gas. This section contains information regarding the fossil fuels used to generate electricity. Electric Utilities Fuel Consumption and Stocks Coal , the energy source used by electric utilities to generate more than one-half of the electricity needed in the Nation, is consumed extensively throughout the United States particularly in the East North Central, West North Central, West South Central, and South Atlantic Census Divisions See map. ) The use of petroleum for generation is not as common on a national level as during the early 1970's; however, some areas of the country (such as in the New England, Middle Atlantic, and South Atlantic Census Divisions) continue to use it extensively. Consumption of gas occurs mostly in areas of the country where it is readily accessible, particularly in the West South Central Census Division, and in dual-fired generator units, which use gas and petroleum as substitute fuels.

Fossil fuel From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Coal rail cars in Ashtabula, Ohio Fossil fuels , also known as mineral fuels , are hydrocarbon -containing natural resources such as coal petroleum and natural gas . The utilization of fossil fuels has fueled industrial development and largely supplanted water driven mills, as well as the burning of wood or peat for heat. When generating electricity , energy from the combustion of fossil fuels is often used to power a turbine . Older generators often used steam generated by the burning of the fuel to turn the turbine, but in newer power plants the gases produced by burning of the fuel turn a gas turbine directly. The burning of fossil fuels by humans is their major source of emissions of carbon dioxide which is one of the greenhouse gases that is believed to contribute to global warming .
