Hillhouse Research Group Website 1. Limited Fossil Fuels, Growing Demand: When we pump up that gas in our cars, or use electricity in our homes, a significant part of which comes from coal fired power stations, or heat our homes using natural gas, little do we realize how short-lived these supplies are going to be. Man began using petroleum as source of energy a little over a century ago, and it is being predicted that global oil supplies will peak out in only about 10 years from now, according to a report by a team from Sweden's University of Uppsala New Scientist , 2 August 2003, p 8) . After this peak, the oil production will start falling, accompanied by a rise in the prices of oil. If we consider the invention of agriculture as the starting point of a settled human civilization, which occurred about 8,000 years ago, this period of 100 years is only a minuscule interval of time, within which we have exhausted almost all the petroleum reserves on the earth. The formation of the petroleum from organic matter took millions of years, which makes petroleum a very valuable source of energy. Man, however, has not shown any discretion in the use of this valuable resource. (

Extractions: A presentation by Osman Chughtai and David Shannon Introduction Formation Going back to the earlier days of Earth, the plants and animals that lived then eventually died and decomposed. The majority of these life forms were phytoplankton and zooplankton. When these ancient ocean dwellers died, they accumulated on the bottom of a seabed; this is how a good portion of our fossil fuel reserves began. The actual transformation process of these prehistoric creatures is not known, but scientists do know that the pressure, heat, and a great deal of time go into the making of fossil fuels. Geologists are fairly certain that the beds of organic remains mixed with silt and mud to form layers. Over time, mineral sedimentation formed on top of the organisms, effectively entombing them in rock. As this occurred, pressure and temperature increased. These conditions, and possibly other unknown factors, caused organic material to break down into the simpler form of hydrocarbons: chains of carbon and hydrogen ranging from simple configuration to complex compounds. Another affect of extreme pressure is that the oil and gas which are various mixtures of hydrocarbons, migrate upwards to the surface. Exactly when in the conversion process and the nature of this migration is not known and is subject to conjecture.

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.

http://millennium-debate.org/rational2.htm

Extractions: Rational Use of different fossil fuels Whilst the Industrialised world continues to use fossil fuels for the majority of energy applications, it is important that the balance of fuels used is rationally based and the right fuel is used for the right application. The definitions of right fuel and right application may usually be based upon economic grounds, however their are other concerns if we hope to extend the time for which we can continue to exploit these reserves. Reserves The three main fossil fuels together with electricity may frequently be used for the same applications. However a number of factors affect their suitability for different roles. On a pure energy basis, given equal suitability, it would seem logical to make more use of the fuel which is the best combination of potential availability and least other potential uses, providing the technology exists to exploit it efficiently. Table 21 shows the proven reserves and the lifetime of those reserves, assuming that extraction continues at the current rate.

In 1994-95, 98.5% of primary energy supply (that is, including exports) were from fossil fuels (80% from coal, 15% from petroleum and 3% from gas). There have been few major shifts towards renewable or to less-polluting energy sources. The exception is the rapid increase in the use of natural gas. It is expected that by 2009-10, natural gas will represent 28% of total consumption for Australia, up from 18% in 1995-96 ABARE 1997 NSW has vast resources of coal and it is the main fuel source for electricity generation in the state and an important export commodity. In 1994-95, production of saleable black coal in NSW was 88.6 million tonnes which was an increase in production of 5.5% over 1993-94 Australia's Mining Series 1996 ). Of this, 66% was exported, earning $2.8 billion or about 24% ofthe state's export income. Coal mining employs 13,760 people directly in 88 mines in NSW (

Only a small part of that considered a reserve. Historical examples of estimates: 1920Õs consensus US oil depleted by end of decade 1939 predicted US depletion within 13 years Actuality: 1930Õs peak in US crudeoil discoveries 1967 peak single year for oil discovery due to Prudoe Bay Alaska 1950Õs peak in US natural gas discoveries 1930Õs-1970Õs new discoveries offshore California, Gulf of Mexico, North Slope Alaska US oil production peaked in 1972 World estimates Warman (1972) predicted a peak in world oil production in 1990Õs. Odell and Rosing (1983) predicted peak in 2017, possibly not until 2080. DIFFICULTY: what is findable and produceable depends on several factors. - Technology - Politcs - Economics TECHNOLOGY Exploration Techniques In early days looked for oil seeping to the surface. Drake well in Pennsylvania, 1859, noted that these seeps tend to occur on top of anticlines. Most "easy" oil now found. Today need subsurface geology studies to locate petroleum reservoirs.

Extractions: All forms of energy come from somewhere. We call those places "sources." For example, the sun is a source for light energy as well as solar energy, which is the changing of sunlight into electricity through the use of solar panels. These sources can be sorted into two groups. The first is renewable (a type of energy that can be used over and over, like the sun). The second is nonrenewable (an energy source that can be used up and is unable to renew - or create more of itself - in a short amount of time). Renewable energy sources include the sun, wind, water, heat from within the Earth (called geothermal energy), and plant (biomass) waste products. These renewable sources are all natural-occurring elements. Human beings have found ways to use these energy sources. Besides harnessing the sun's solar energy, we use wind to power windmills, turbines to create hydroelectric energy with water, geothermal energy (heat from within the Earth) for use in power plants. Power plants are not strong bushes or weeds; a power plant is a large building where power is produced.

Extractions: Home About ELC Site Map Contact Us ... Food Fossil fuels currently account for about 90 percent of world energy consumption. Petroleum leads with a share of about 40 percent of total world energy consumption, followed by coal (24 percent) and natural gas (22 percent). Fossil fuels are currently the most economically exploitable sources of power for both personal and commercial use. There are environmental problems associated with extracting, transporting, and using fossil fuels. In particular, in the process of burning fossil fuels, carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, is emitted, which raises concerns about the potential of human-induced global warming. These links provide an introduction to fossil fuels, their use, available supplies, and prospects for the future.
