Cleaner fossil fuels technology / Introduction to cleaner fossil fuels technology Cleaner Fossil Fuels Technology covers a range of technologies which deal with the emissions generated by fossil fuel power generation. The emphasis is currently on reducing emissions from coal-fired power generation, as coal produces more unwanted emissions than the other major fossil fuel - natural gas, and therefore the focus is very much on Cleaner Coal Technologies (CCT). The three major pollutants from coal firing are Sulphur Dioxide (SO ), Nitrous Oxide (NOx), both of which cause acid rain, and Carbon Dioxide (CO ) which is a greenhouse gas. If coal is to continue to have a role in power generation then these emissions will have to be significantly reduced or eliminated. Cleaner Coal Technology Programme web pages. More recently the Government assessed the case for it supporting the development of a CCT Demonstration Plant. The conclusions and supporting documentation for this review can be found on

    Extractions: THE POWER FOR THE PEOPLE Aids Air Traffic Alaska Alaska Pipeline ... Wind Power Fossil Fuels Fossil fuels supply over 80% of the world’s energy needs .All fossil fuels, whether solid, liquid, or gas, are the result of organic material being covered by successive layers of sediment over the course of millions of years. Oil and natural gas were formed from the slow decomposition and burying of planktonic marine plants and animals that sank to the muds of the sea floor. Coal is derived from the accumulation of partially decayed land plants. As the sediment solidifies into rock, the organic material decomposes under the influence of great pressure and high temperature. The burning of fossil fuels for energy is a major source of air pollution, contributing in particular to acid rain and the greenhouse effect. Oil Oil well DOE Graphic Crude oil is a naturally-occurring substance found trapped in certain rocks below the earth's crust. It is a dark, sticky liquid which, scientifically speaking, is classed as a hydrocarbon. This means, it is a compound containing only hydrogen and carbon. Crude oil is highly flammable and can be burned to create energy. Crude oil is measured in barrels. When crude oil first came into large-scale commercial use in the United States in the 19th century, it was stored in wooden barrels. One barrel equals 42 US gallons, or 159 litres. The U.S.'s first commercial oil well was drilled in 1859 near Titusville, Pennsylvania, by Edwin Drake, in top hat.

The sixteen subsidies highlighted in this fact sheet give coal, oil, and natural gas over $5 billion per year. The industry has already received more than its fair share, collecting $150 billion in subsidies from the federal government between 1918 and 1978, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Finally, many of the existing subsidies, such as funds for a rural electrification agency, continue to drain tax dollars even though their original purpose has long been fulfilled or forgotten.

    Extractions: Petroleum, natural gas, and coal are the main sources of energy for modern use. All of these fuels are classified as fossil fuels . The reason they are called fossil fuels is because they are all made from decayed plants and animals that have been preserved in the earth's crust by pressure, bacterial processes and heat. It takes millions of years for these organisms to chemically change into fossil fuels. Liquid fossil fuels, like petroleum , is formed in areas that geologists believe were once covered by oceans or seas. These fuels were formed when dead plants and animals sank to the bottom of the ocean and were covered by sediments. Over long periods of time (millions of years), pressure, bacterial processes, and heat changed the sediments into sedimentary rocks and the plant and animal remains into oil. Eventually underground pools of oil formed when oil migrated through the pores and cracks of rocks and eventually filled these empty spaces. Geolgists search in areas which may contain oil traps. Oil traps include fault lines where porous rock is aligned next to non-porous rock. These traps are also found among folded rock layers. This is an example of a folded-rock-layer oil trap being drilled for petroleum. Oil drills are known as a oil derricks in the petroleum industry.

D uring a public hearing in Annapolis before the House Ways and Means Committee on repealing a multi-million dollar tax break for the utility and coal industries, one lawmaker who questioned concerns about current health and clean air impacts, sarcastically suggested that maybe we should return to "the horse and buggy days." Well, if the horse and buggy industry were as politically entrenched and connected at the beginning of the 20th century as big coal and utilities are today, who knows? Maybe our morning traffic report would be warning travelers to "avoid the inbound JFX because of a four stallion pileup!" That's not the case and we have progressed beyond earlier modes of transportation. That progress undoubtedly caused adjustments in regional economies, with shifting production and employment patterns. Yet we overcame these challenges so that today virtually everyone would agree there's no desire to turn the clock back on transportation.

    Extractions: Phytoplankton are tiny floating plants called algae. The commonest are golden or brown coloured diatoms and dinoflagellates. Zooplankton are tiny animals which eat the phytoplankton but are themselves the main food for fish and some whales. Oil (petroleum) and natural gas formed by complex decay processes from microscopic life forms called phytoplankton ( phyto =plant) which floated in the world's oceans millions of years ago. Just like today's phytoplankton, they harnessed the Sun to photosynthesise and store energy. When these myriads of tiny floating plants died, they sank to the sea-floor and became mixed with muds from distant rivers, and were gradually buried. Over immense periods of time, the soft sediments became ever more deeply buried and slowly hardened into rocks. Heat from the Earth's interior and the weight of the overlying rocks gradually changed the energy-containing substances in the accumulated plants into hydrocarbon liquids and gases. Hydrocarbons are simple molecules made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms joined together in chains or in rings. These molecules, being light and mobile, migrated upwards through the rocks but eventually became trapped beneath impermeable rock structures in the Earth's crust. The oil and gas companies around the world know how to find these trapped reservoirs and release their contents by drilling holes into them. As everyone knows, crude oil and gas from these deposits form the basis for the world's largest energy industry: oil and gas.

But environmental issues related to coal-fired power-generating plants could limit its effectiveness. New clean coal technologies will allow coal to meet emission requirements established by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Coal is a solid fossil fuel mined in several parts of the United States from open pits (59%) and underground mines (41%). Bituminous/sub-bituminous coal provides 89% of domestic demonstrated reserves. Mining of western U.S. coaltypically low-sulfur coal from open pitsis projected to increase from 41% in 1992 to 47% in 2010. Annual domestic coal production is about 1 billion tons, with about 100 million tons exported to Canada, Japan, and Italy. Domestic in-the-ground coal resources are estimated at 4 trillion tons. Estimated recoverable-coal reserves total 261 billion tonsmore than 200 years supply at current production rates. Coal is an abundant domestic resource that strongly supports the mining industry and provides numerous jobs. Coal is the least expensive electrical energy source. Coal provides a dependable resource and technology for baseload electrical generation.

    Extractions: It so happens that this is one of my favorite topics. Fossil fuels are fuels that result from the fossilization process of living tissue after millions of years. Coal and crude petroleum are the fossil fuel sources. Evolutionary Stages of Coal Development Coal comes in several developmental stages , peat, lignite, bituminous and anthracite forms of coal. The first two stages are very inefficient producing a small amount of energy per mass of fuel. Lignite can be gasified to natural gas which is a particularly clean burning fuel in itself. Lignite has also been liquefied to produce liquid petroleum fractions. But the gasification and liquefaction process are very expensive and are not cost effective unless the cost of crude petroleum reaches 60.00 a barrel or more. Bituminous (soft coal) and Anthracite (hard coal) are the stages of coal most often mined, processed , and used as fuel. Disadvantages In The Utilization of Coal There are problems with the use of this form of fossil fuel. First, the extraction of the coal from the ground can be very expensive. Most coal deposits lie well below the surface of the earth which means that special drilling , the creation of mine shafts, and the shoring up of these shafts must be paid for. In addition, there is the danger of mine explosions when deposits of natural gas or finely powered coal dust undergoes combustion resulting in an explosion. Breathing of coal dust by the miners leads to a condition known as "black lung". This adds to the cost of the

Managing the Environment Energy Generation This topic can be divided up into three sections: fossil fuels and nuclear power "alternative" energy energy conservation Start off with some important points 1) Even though chapter seven in your book is called "Energy Generation," we can't in fact generate energy. We can only harvest it, and transform it from a less useable to a more useable form. This image shows this transformation for crude oil and coal, two kinds of fossil fuel. 2) Where does our energy come from? The main source, by far, is the sun. Minor sources include geothermal energy, nuclear fission, energy from volcanos. 3) When we harvest and use energy, much is lost during the process. Our efficiency of transformation is not great. Energy is lost during the harvesting process, refinement, transportation, and when it is actually used. At each step, we lose energy. 4) The use of energy is critical for our well-being and to maintain our standard of living. Therefore, energy production is tightly linked to economics and to our national security. Protection of our sources of energy is critical.
