Fossil Fuels
![Page 2: Fossil Fuels. Energy Use 85% nonrenewable energy Use of coal Use of oil Nuclear has leveled off Developing countries: depend on biomass (fuelwood, charcoal)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f125503460f94c25cfd/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Energy Use• 85% nonrenewable
energy• Use of coal • Use of oil• Nuclear has leveled off• Developing countries:
depend on biomass (fuelwood, charcoal) for heating/cooking– Can’t afford fossil
fuels!!!!
• 93% Nonrenewable• World’s largest energy
user• 5% of world’s
population uses 25% of world’s energy
World U.S.

What are fossil fuels???
• Composed of partially decayed organism remains
• Form too slowly to replenish
• NOT sustainable• Ex: Coal, Oil, Natural
Gas

Fossil Fuels
• Oil, Natural Gas & Coal• Oil and Natural Gas are
less dense than coal– Move upward through
porous rock and become trapped
• Developed countries (like US!) consume 8X MORE energy than developing countries

Formation of Fossil Fuels
• Formation of coal– Over time, plants die
and get covered by water and sediment
– Heat & pressure convert material into carbon rich ore (COAL) & sedimentary rock
• Formation of Oil– Death of plants/animals:
go through decomposition
– Heat & pressure convert material to hydrocarbons (OIL) without oxygen in sediments that prevent decay

Formation of Fossil Fuels
• Formation of Natural Gas– Same as oil, just produced at higher temperatures
![Page 7: Fossil Fuels. Energy Use 85% nonrenewable energy Use of coal Use of oil Nuclear has leveled off Developing countries: depend on biomass (fuelwood, charcoal)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f125503460f94c25cfd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2008: Energy Use in the US
• Comprised of– Oil 40%– Natural Gas 23%– Coal 20%– Nuclear Power 8%– Hydropower 3%– Biomass 3%– Geothermal, Solar & Wind 1%

We depend heavily on oil…
• You know it as:– Petroleum and crude oil
• Composed of various hydrocarbons
• Produced by decomposition of dead organic matter from plants/animals
• We import at least 52% of our oil

Oil Supplies• Proven oil reserves
– Identified deposits that can be extracted profitably with current technology
• Unproven reserves– Probable reserves: 50%
chance of recovery– Possible reserves: 10-40%
chance of recovery
• Proven and unproven reserves will be 80% depleted sometime between 2050 and 2100
• 13 countries have at least 60% of the world’s crude oil reserves
• Global oil production leveled off in 2005

Coal
• Solid fossil fuel• Burned in power plants
(inefficient)• World’s most abundant
fossil fuel
• Different steps of formation:– Peat: not a coal– Lignite: brown coal– Bituminous: soft coal– Anthracite: hard coal

Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Coal
• Advantages:– Plentiful– High net energy yield– Low cost
• Disadvantages:– Very high environmental
impact– Severe air pollution
• Sulfur released as SO2
• Large amount of soot• CO2
• Trace amount of Hg and radioactive materials

Natural Gas
• Mixture of gases• 50-90% methane (Ch4)• Versatile with high net
energy– Heat space & water– Produce electricity
• More plentiful than oil• Fairly low cost• Issue of fracking (will
examine in video)

Conventional Natural Gas VS Fracking
• Conventional Natural Gas– Lies above most
reservoirs of crude oil– Makes US dependent
upon unstable countries like Russia and Iran
• Fracking:– Official term: Hydraulic
fracturing– Extraction from shale
rocks using a combination of vertical and horizontal drilling
– Water and other chemicals used to “fracture” rocks and release gas
– Michigan sits on deposits of shale
