1.0 Introduction This chapter presents an overview of the project background. The scope covers the

The U.S obtains more than 84% of its energy from fossil fuels including oil, coal and natural gas. This is because people rely on it to heat their homes, power industries, run vehicles, manufacturing, and provision of electricity. It is apparent that the country’s transportation industry highly depends on conventional petroleum oil, which is responsible for global warming, thus threatening economic opulence and national security. Apart from that, increasing consumption of fossil fuels have elevated health problems in the state, destroyed wild places, and polluted the environment. After conducting Environmental Impact Assessment, projections showed that the world energy consumption would increase by more than 56% between 2010 and 2040. However, fossil fuels will cater for more than 80% of the total energy used in 2040. Sadly, it will be a trajectory to alter the world’s climate, as well as, weaken the global security environment. Importantly, the rate at which the US relies on fossil fuels needs to reduce since it has adverse effects on the planet’s supplies. The society needs to realize that fossil fuels are nonrenewable, thus taking millions of years to form (Huebner, 2003). Notably, the country can reduce dependency on fossil fuels by practicing energy conservation and efficiency,

In this paper, we focus on using fossil fuels causing climate change. Fossil fuels are fuels formed natural resources such as coal, petroleum and natural gas, which are the most widely used fuel and industrial chemicals in the world. Since industrial revolution, fossil fuels bring a very great quantity convenience and technological products. So we can use cars, planes and all modern products. But fossil fuels cause climate change at the same time. Greenhouse gas, nitrous oxides and a great deal of harmful gas which are from fossil fuels are causing serious environmental problems. Therefore we need to be concerned about the problems caused by fossil fuels and the solutions.

It has come to conclusion that fossil fuels are organic materials that are buried in combustible geologic deposits of organic materials. These fossil fuels are formed from decayed organic materials, animals and rocks that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the Earth's crust for a very long time. Changing the use of energy can cause effects such as; economic issues and environmental issues. Although, energy is in need of production, many

` The continuous use of fossil fuels is leading the Earth on a path to destruction. Generations of advancement and technological innovation being brought down to rubble. Natural disasters wreaking havoc on innocent people across the world. Temperatures soaring above 125℉ globally. These are the results of the excessive use of fossil fuels. A chief concern in the 21st century is global warming and climate change, and the continued use of fossil fuels for the technology and daily lives of humans is key to blame. Decades ago, these problems were much more daunting and seemingly unsolvable than they are today, with the use of alternative energy sources and new

Being such a necessary and overused resource makes it a hotly contested subject and global issue. The United States is one of the biggest importers and users of oil in the world, which makes our need of it a major influence on several global markets. Our heavy reliance on dirty fuels, as well as every other industrialized country in the world, will lead to massive effects on the climate of our Earth. This in addition, has led to violence and war, particularly in the Middle East, over the ownership and distribution of oil and other energy resources, which in the end only serves to profit big oil industries. This problem will not stop or slow down, as the demand for energy will only increase as the world’s population and global economy continues to expand. For mainly these reasons, which will be handled more in-depth throughout this paper, the need for clean alternative energy is paramount and must be addressed within the foreseeable future should we otherwise suffer the consequences.

Oil and gas have been the world’s commercial energy sources in recent century and it still remain this important role in the 21st century. As industrial productions have grown by approximately 50 times during the 20th century, this led to tremendous increasing of the energy consumption. Presently, oil and gas account for almost 40 per cent of the world energy sources because they are unique commodities and easy to transport in many areas with low costs. The advances of technologies make petroleum become cleaner, safer and more efficient energy. Consequently, oil and gas could meet more strictly environmental regulations and comply with the widely demands of sustainable development. However, petroleum is a scarce resource and the demands of energy consumption will be increased. Humans try to improve recovery rates by enhancing technology and developing infrastructure for better accessibility. Presently, the volatility and high prices of oil market have been a significant cause for concerning among many countries. Even the increasing price trend in recent year, the market has still remained

World’s increasing demand for energy is fulfilled by different sectors (like Oil, Coal, Natural Gas, Hydro, Nuclear and others). Fossil fuels remain the dominant source of energy powering the world economy, supplying 60% of the energy increase out to 2035. Within that, gas looks set to become the fastest growing fossil fuel, spurred on by ample supplies and supportive environmental policies.

Purpose and procedure- The purpose of this experiment is to determine the effect of surface area to volume ratio on agar blocks in sulphuric acid

I would like to share my viewpoint besides this industry does have environmental side effects; we cannot overlook a number of jobs this industry is providing to the job seeker. According to environment journalists, oil refineries emit a lot of greenhouse gasses, but this scenario is also covered up with the requirement to develop further on research and development of many eco-friendly techniques for the extraction of oil from the mining.

The future of fossil fuels is a critical component of the future of all humanity. The demand for fossil fuels in consistently growing globally as the population expands and more economies worldwide become development. Despite the rising demand for fossil fuels, the supply is relatively fixed. However, through advancements in technology in regard to extraction of the total supply of fossil fuels, new energy sources are continually being identified. The most salient example of new forms of extraction is that of the technics that are being used for Shale gas reserves. Shale gas is in abundant supply however it requires new forms of extraction in order to be economically justifiable.

Fossil fuels are non-renewable sources of energy that were form billions of years ago. The three different types of fossil fuels in the world include: oil, coal and natural gas. Although each of the three types of fossil fuels are extracted differently they are all processed and used as the world’s primary sources of energy. Being the world’s primary sources of energy, fossil fuel experience advantages as well as disadvantages as an energy source. The use of fossil fuels, as an energy source, impact the environment as well as social, economic and political aspects of the world.

Nonrenewable resources, such as fossil fuels, fulfill about 80% of the world’s energy supply [1]. They are easily obtainable, and are a relatively pure energy resource that provides energy at a low cost [1]. Though cheap and reliable, there are many drawbacks to extended use of these energy sources. The main disadvantages of nonrenewable energy sources, which includes the consumption of fossil fuels, is the harmful way they affect the environment as well as

Even though there are many problems affiliated with the use of fossil fuels, there are also very important pros that can be taken into respect. For example, the combustion of fossil fuels generates a large amount of usable energy, it can be found easily, the extraction process and refining are not especially time consuming and consequently, can be easily converted and transported for practical purposes (Mukherjee, 2010). The task of processing the fossil fuels generates employment for millions of people all across the globe (Mukherjee, 2010). Nearly all of the problems result in health concerns or future problems of simple modern day living. It has essential properties, yet detrimental effects. In contrast, the cons outweigh the pros.

There are several energy resources such as petroleum, coal and natural gases that used widely in transportation and industry. Currently, petroleum is the major power and it is almost drained attributable to urbanization. This caused several phenomena such as air pollution, global environment problems and almost to climate change (Abdul Rahman, 2006).The world confronts the energy crisis attributable to depletion of energetic resources for the last few years. Thus, the consequences will be the significant increase of the environmental problems (Barnwal, 2005).

It is a matter of greatest pride for me that I have done my project work from United Spirits Limited Rosa, Shahjahanpur (UP), a part of world famous UB Group. This work of mine is the result of my concern regarding the biggest challenge facing all over the world i.e. industrial waste like spent wash
