Hydrocarbon

example, about three-fourths of the carbon monoxide pollution found in the city areas is contributed my gas fueled cars, as well as a significant amount hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions. It has been found that if we were to use natural gas instead of gasoline the carbon monoxide emissions can be cut down about ninety percent and the hydrocarbon emissions by almost eighty-five percent. This is an amazing amount of pollution reduction would make a huge change in the cleanliness of our air.

Mushrooms are the key to sustainability. Mushrooms are self learning membranes with externalized lungs and stomachs allowing them to adapt to most environments while contributing to sustaining other life forms (video). For example, an experiment was conducted by Paul Stamets, author and expert on mushrooms, growing mushrooms on inedible straw turned forty percent of that straw into an edible food source for humans in only forty-seven days (video). The mushrooms turned an item humans cannot digest

the billionaire class. The US is so corrupt that it is resisting the obvious urgency to slash carbon production. Even our relatively progressive president talks about exploiting all sources of energy, as though hydrocarbons were just as valuable as green energy and as though hydrocarbons weren’t poisoning the earth. So don’t tell the Philippines or the other victims of American corruption how corrupt they are for taking a few petty bribes. Americans are not seen as corrupt because we only deal in

journey under the ground if the trap is settled well. (I ignore some leakage of them). By the way, trap could be just structure as barren or could be productive. The highest point of the trap is the crest, or culmination. The lowest point at which hydrocarbons may be contained in the trap is the spill point; this lies on a horizon contour, the spill plane. The vertical distance from crest to spill plane is the closure of the trap. A trap may or may not be full to the spill plane, a point of both local

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Isoprene: a building block molecule for isoprenoid family Isoprene, 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene,is a volatile and colorless 5-carbon containing hydrocarbon and has boiling point at 34°C (Fig. 1.1).This is widely used as a building block for the many members of the isoprenoid familyand moreover this family also includes the largest family of natural products with a variety of applications such as in production of chemicals and pharmaceuticals.

Organic pollutants normally originate from numerous human activities which include manufacturing, managing storing, and disposal of chemicals. Industrial places are a contributor of the contaminations that besiege our environment and this does not stop there as the oil refineries on their own in some countries cause unquantifiable damages to their land and water bodies. Agricultural activities which involve use of pesticides and insecticide also contribute, not to talk of households generally. THE

1.2 billion is a large number no matter what context it is used in. 9,737; however, is a bit more manageable, it would seem. 1.2 billion represents the approximate number of vehicles in the world today. 9,737 is the average number of pounds of CO2 produced by one car per year. All of this shows the overall sum of 11.7 trillion, being the number of pounds of CO2 produced every year due to automobile exhaust, a number 1,600 times that of Earth’s entire population. Account for all other burning of fossil

Introduction CE 2.1 The present career episode provides a brief overture of my project COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF GTL AND LNG AS GAS UTILIZATION OPTION which was done as part of my graduation B.Eng. in Petroleum Engineering, at Federal University of Technology, Owerri, in the duration of 2007- 2011. Chronology: XXXX-XXXX Name of the Organization: Federal University of Technology Geographical Location: Owerri, Nigeria. Project Title: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF GTL AND LNG AS GAS UTILIZATION OPTION Position:

previously a heavily polluted site due to long-term industrial activities (Philp, 2015). Bioremediation that uses naturally occurring microbial hydrocarbon degradation to speed up the breakdown of oil spills is also already employed (Atlas, 1991), and there is a lot of research being done in this area. Rates of decomposition in converting toxic hydrocarbons into water and
