Conservation Of Fossil FUels

Fossil fuels are fuels formed by natural processes such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms. The age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years. Fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include coal, petroleum, and natural gas. They range from volatile materials with low carbon:hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquid petroleum to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. Methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields, alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates. The theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the Earth's crust over millions of year (see biogenic theory) was first introduced by Georg Agricola in 1556 and later by Mikhail Lomonosov in the 18th century.

Fossil Fuels

Ride a bike or walk more. Instead of driving a car or taking a bus, try cycling or walking to your destination. This isn't just great for reducing your fossil fuel use; it's also ideal for keeping you fit and healthy.Kit yourself out with a good bike and safety gear. Look after both bike and gear so that they last a long time.

Find cycleways wherever possible. These are safer than doing the tango with cars, trucks and semis.

Use lighting at night to stay safe and see where you're headed.

No cycleways? Contact your local municipality and campaign for some to be added where you live.

How Can We Conserve Fossil Fuels

Fossil Fuels Disadvantages

Fossil fuels are one of the greatest threats to the environment today. Their burning contributes heavily to global warming, the pollution of the air, water and land, as well as the production of acid rain.

  When fossil fuels are burned huge

amounts of carbon are released into the air. This contributes to the greenhouse effect, causing the sun’s warmth to be excessively trapped in the atmosphere. When this occurs, global temperatures rise. Melting of the polar ice caps causes ocean levels to rise as well

Importance Of Fossil Fuels Fossil fuels are of great

importance because they can be burned (oxidized to carbon dioxide and water), producing significant amounts of energy per unit weight. The use of coal as a fuel predates recorded history. Coal was used to run furnaces for the melting of metal ore. Semi-solid hydrocarbons from seeps were also burned in ancient times, but these materials were mostly used for waterproofing and embalming.

Fossil Fuels Origin Petroleum and natural gas are formed by the 

anaerobic decomposition of remains of organisms including phytoplankton and zooplankton that settled to the sea (or lake) bottom in large quantities under anoxic conditions, millions of years ago. Over geological time, this organic matter, mixed with mud, got buried under heavy layers of sediment. The resulting high levels of heat and pressure caused the organic matter to chemically alter, first into a waxy material known as kerogen which is found in oil shales, and then with more heat into liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons in a process known as catagenesis.

There is a wide range of organic, or hydrocarbon, compounds in any given fuel mixture. The specific mixture of hydrocarbons gives a fuel its characteristic properties, such as boiling point, melting point, density, viscosity, etc. Some fuels like natural gas, for instance, contain only very low boiling, gaseous components. Others such as gasoline or diesel contain much higher boiling components.

Daily life conservationSolar power is a

promising, renewable energy resource than can be turned into electricity, and it is used in many toys and even home heating

In our everyday lives, we can also work to conserve energy. Insulating, turning off lights

and only using appliances like dishwashers when they are full are just some of the ways people can limit energy use in their homes.

Also, carpooling, bicycling, and taking public transportation are effective energy-saving ideas.

increasingly being used as a clean source of renewable energy.

Turbines harvest wind on wind farms and generate electricity

Factory and Hydroelectric plants There are many renewable

energy sources that are alternatives to fossil fuels, but some are not without controversy.

For instance, nuclear power is used to generate about 25 percent of the world’s electricity, but it has inherent risks, especially in the disposal of radioactive waste.

Hydroelectric plants use running water to generate electricity, however they may flood nearby lands and can disrupt the normal flow of water, both of which negatively affect the environment

Fossil Fuels are a Non-Renewable source of Energy

Coal, oil and natural gas, are a non-renewable source of energy

Formed from plants and animals that lived up to 300 million years ago

Found in deposits beneath the earth

Burned to release the chemical energy that is stored within this resource

Over 85% of our energy demands are met by the combustion of fossil fuels
