"Lately it seems as if if the Earth has been deteriorating. It is quite common to hear of the impact of the overuse of energy sources. Because our population has abused the wonderful powers of energy, the Earth is suffering from the aftermath. Environmental damage being one of its biggest consequences. The use of energy can have positive effects if society learns how to manage it well.

Fossil fuels are hydrocarbon deposits derived from the remains of ancient plants and animals under enormous amounts of heat and pressure. Oil, or petroleum, is one of the most common fossil fuels utilized by people all over the world on a daily basis. Crude oil is a smelly, yellow-black, viscous liquid composed of mostly nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur, which is found in underground reservoirs. Oil is nonrenewable which means once it 's extracted from the earth, it takes thousands of years to replace. It has been an abundant resource for many years, but it has the potential to run out because it takes so

There are some that say that the US is ready to start replacing fossil fuels with alternative energy resources and some don't exactly agree. Alternative energy sources include biofuels, hydrogen, solar, geothermal, wind and nuclear energy and fossils fuels are fuels such as oil, coal, and petroleum. Those for alternative energy argue that fossil fuels are inefficient, unsustainable, environmentally destructive, and the primary contributor to global climate change. They believe that renewable energies are a viable and immediately needed alternative to fossil fuels. Then those for fossil fuels believe that there are many technical hurdles that have to be overcome before alternative energy could replace even a small portion of the power powered by fossil fuels. They also say that fossil fuels will last hundreds of years longer, be made more efficient, and remain the most economical

Increased energy demands, the need for dependence on oil imports, and rising oil prices have created a new found interest in renewable, biomass fuels. The U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) added onto the Renewable Fuel Standard that required that all U.S. transportation fuels contain at least 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels by 2022. Algae biofuels have the potential to make a significant contribution to achieving these goals and having our nation become an energy independent country. The U.S. federal government has invested over $800 million in biofuels research as part of the American Recovery and Renewal Act. These funds have been given to the Department of Energy - Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s Biomass Program to invest in research, development, and finding ways to create an algae-to-biomass a commercialized farm and product. A few private companies are also making substantial investments in the algae to biomass area. With all the interest in algae as biomass, it is possible that algae could become the best sustainable oil option for the United States.

Fossil fuels are an important part of life. When you turn on the lights, watch TV, or take a shower, the electricity that you are using is being generated by fossil fuels. The three types of fossil fuels are coal, crude oil, and natural gas. They all take millions of years to form, so they are considered to be “non-renewable”- eventually, the fossil fuels will all be used up. One dangerous biological effect of using fossil fuels is ocean acidification. Extracting and transporting fossil fuels can also be very dangerous. Environmentally damaging accidents such as groundwater contamination, land subsidence, and oil spills occur frequently. Global warming is another possible environmental effect. Fossil fuels have a crucial role in modern

Ever wondered how a house is lit up, what makes a car move, or how a radiator provides heat? These simple questions can be answered with fossil fuels. For years the world has primarily ran on fossil fuels; which, are coal, oil, and natural gas. They play an important role in human lives. Without these sources there would be no transportation, warm homes, or ways to cook meals. These resources; however, are considered non-renewable; which, means eventually they will run out and not be replenished. This would be detrimental and may cause the human race to go extinct; which, makes it crucial to understand where fossil fuels originated, how they are extracted, and processed for human consumption.

The United States currently uses approximately one quarter of the world’s total energy consumption (Toossi). With around 322 million people inhabiting the United States, our population accounts for just fewer than 5% of the total world population. That means that our 5% of the world’s population is using 25% of the world’s energy! Something has to be done.

During the past few decades, microalgae biomass has been used exclusively in the market. More than 75% of the annual biomass production has been utilized in health products to manufacture powders, tablets, liquids and capsules (Hudson 2008). Microalgae biomass could also be incorporated into food based

During the course of history, this country has been seeking new forms of energy that will provide clean energy and also preserve Earth 's lifespan. The use of renewable and non-renewable resources has been a major controversy throughout history; renewable energy such as wind power has been the main focus of this issue. Many would believe wind energy is the best renewable power source because it is the cleanest and most efficient, whereas, others view wind energy as a time bomb that will soon destroy the planet. Alternative energy sources should replace non-renewable energy with wind energy.

Incresing demand of fossile fuel there is need to study a number of renewable sources. In present investigation influence of input parameter such as injection pressure, compression ratio and load on the performance of single cylinder diesel engine fueled with soybean biodiesel and its blend. The test are carried out with three different injection pressure (160, 200, 240 bar), compression ratio (18, 17, 16), load (1, 6, 11) and % of biodiesel (100%, 50%, 0%). This study investigated by Response Surface Methodology to optimize the performance parameter such as Mechanical efficiency. A set of experimental runs was established by using a Central Composite Design and the RSM was employed to obtain the regression model for the Mechanical

Global demand for energy is putting increased pressure on various resources including traditional fossil reserves while igniting interest in the development of substitute energy such as non-traditional fossil reserves, alternative energy and biobased energy. Negative environmental impacts associated with the consumption of fossil fuels have further inspired the development and investigation of alternative energy resources. The US annually consumes approximately 100 quadrillion BTUs of energy with 80% being derived from fossil sources corresponding to 5 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, with approximately 30% of those emissions derived from the combustion of coal for electrical energy production [1,2]. Recent regulation on the reduction of carbon emissions from coal has further sparked the evaluation of the synergistic integration of microalgae production with coal based flue gas as the carbon source [3,4]. Further, microalgae represent a promising alternative biofuel feedstock with high productivity rates, year round cultivation, integration with various waste streams, and the use of low quality land and water [5]. The technical evaluation of microalgae based biofuel systems has been traditionally performed through techno-economics and life cycle assessment with the majority of these evaluations assuming the seamless integration of

There has been a growing pressure to develop alternative energy production paths to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels, while at the same time reducing CO2 emissions to prevent global warming. Energy from the waste conversion is considered as alternative mean to create renewable energy. Besides its importance in power generation, char as one of the pyrolysis product is considered as a potential source that can be valorised alongside oil and gas (or syngas).

Majority of electricity generated in New Zealand are mainly from renewable source of energy that are naturally occurring. These source of energy are not consumed when converted hence they will not be depleted, and they are constantly reusable and replenish naturally. Increase in research and investment toward renewable energy will benefit New Zealand society as it will generate less pollution, and more jobs opportunities will emerge. Furthermore it will benefit New Zealand by reinforcing and sustaining the clean green county image.
