    Extractions: SRI International is engaged in wide-ranging research programs dealing with various fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, petroleum, and shale. These research programs encompass upgrading, pyrolysis, combustion, gasification, catalyst development, NOx reduction, modeling, and even business aspects. SRI has developed two unique facilicities for testing the pyrolysis and gasification of coals under pressure . In these systems an entrained stream of coal particles is directed inside a quartz tube along the axis of a graphite cylinder inductively heated to 1850 K. The primary products of coal devolatilization are immediately quenched by the relatively cold gas, which does not absorb the radiation. The yields of tars and chars are determined gravimetrically and the gases are analyzed by a battery of on-line instruments. By varying the flow rate of the entrainment gas, we can vary the nominal residence time and thereby the extent of devolatilization from its onset through the release of ultimate, asymptotic yields. This facility can also be used for testing the pyrolysis of other fuels such as petroleum coke, biomass, and refuse-derived fuels.

65. Energy
    Today, and for the next 2030 years, the dominant sources of deliverable energy arethe fossil fuels (petroleum, coal, natural gas, oil shale, and tar sands).  
    http://energy.che.uc.edu/
    
    Extractions: Perhaps one of the greatest dilemmas facing the world is the problem of how to provide society with sufficient useable energy to maintain a healthy economic base, and at the same time, to do so in an environmentally acceptable fashion. Today, and for the next 20-30 years, the dominant sources of deliverable energy are the fossil fuels (petroleum, coal, natural gas, oil shale, and tar sands). In the United States, currently, we derive about 85-90% of our energy from the fossil fuels. However, combustion of these fuels can lead to the formation of acid rain, and all yield CO , a leading culprit in the "greenhouse effect". If we look to the other fossil fuels to fill the gap, then we find that coal is certainly the most abundant resource. It would be inconceivable that we would ignore this source of energy, specially in the absence of real, deliverable alternatives. On a local note, we are all aware that Ohio s most abundant indigenous fuel is coal. Likewise, we are also cognizant that coal combustion can cause serious air-quality problems if not dealt with properly. The majority of the coal research being conducted at UC is aimed specifically at addressing the problems of SOx and NOx in coal utilization. The role of the Advanced Fossil Fuel Research Institute is to expand greatly that effort into some of the other, important issues facing the use of coal, and the other fossil fuels. The institute is interdisciplinary in nature with faculty members from Chemical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Aerospace Engineering. The Center recently received several research awards from the Ohio Coal Development Office, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Energy. In Chemical Engineering, the faculty members involved are Professors

    http://www.sasked.gov.sk.ca/docs/midlsci/gr8udmsc.html
    
    Extractions: The definition of resources can be narrow or broad. It may include only what is extracted from the earth for the economic benefit of humans or what supports and enhances all forms and aspects of life. The broader definition is the guiding principle for the conservation emphasis in Middle Level science. In this unit however, students consider three primary energy resources which are extracted and used in Saskatchewan. This unit has strong connections to the grade 7 optional unit Resource Use Coal is mined across a large area of southern Saskatchewan. The lignite coal which is produced is used primarily as a heat source in the production of electricity. Along with the formation, extraction, and distribution of coal, the production, distribution, use, and conservation of electricity is considered. Saskatchewan is a major natural gas producer. Since the predominant use of natural gas is for space heating, students will examine the construction of, and design of, energy efficient buildings. This topic offers teachers and students who are interested a chance to explore the topic of heat flows. Much of the petroleum produced in Saskatchewan is classified as heavy crude oil. What is heavy crude? How does it differ from light and medium grades of crude oil? How does the production of ethanol in Saskatchewan supplement gasoline as a fuel for internal combustion engines? What conservation measures can be effective for conserving petroleum?

    http://www.cecarf.org/Programs/Fuels/Fuelfacts/FossilFuelFacts.html
    
    Extractions: A: Coal and petroleum and their derivatives are known as "fossil fuels" because they were formed from the decomposition of organic compounds (dead bodies of plants and animals) during the carboniferous period, 280 to 345 million years ago. High heat and pressure from the Earth's core caused the decaying matter to turn first into a spongy-textured substance called peat and then into either a hard, carbon-rich rock (coal) or a liquid (petroleum). A: Natural gas is a very light fuel within the continuum of distillates: it is a mixture of hydrocarbons, mainly methane (CH ). Other gases in the mix typically include ethane and propane (also hydrocarbons), as well as nitrogen, water vapor, and carbon dioxide. Natural gas is used as fuel in the form of a gas but can be compressed into compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) for transporting over long distances. In its gaseous form, natural gas is commonly transmitted through pipelines. Natural gas is used in the transportation, industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. It can be used for tasks such as cooking and residential heating or as a fuel to produce electricity.

    Extractions: Contact Us Help Search Canada Site ... Full PDF Version With its rich supply of natural resources, Canada has become, quite naturally, heavily dependent on fossil fuels. But while coal-burning plants supply some of our stationary energy grid and petroleum products help meet our transportation needs, we must continue to find ways to both reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and make our consumption of them less harmful to the environment. There is much to be gained by investing in cleaner fossil fuel technologies. While the obvious benefit is the reduced environmental harm, lower average GHG intensity per unit of activity and the improved air quality that results, there are many other benefits to Canadians, as well. Increased efficiency in power production, as just one example, will result in cost savings for users. And lower costs enable users to be more competitive, particularly in the global marketplace. As well, other fossil-fuel-dependent countries are looking to Canada for assistance in dealing with these issues. By investing in cleaner fossil fuel technologies here at home, we will be able to take advantage of those export opportunities.

Energy Site Map Missouri has very limited fossil fuel resources. Nearly all the coal, petroleum and natural gas used in Missouri are imported from out of state. During these years, coal use increased at an average annual growth rate of 2.7 percent, followed by petroleum at 2.6 percent and natural gas at 1.2 percent. To continue the consumption of fossil fuels into the 21 st century at these same rates of increase, imports of fossil fuel into the state would have to more than triple by mid-century.

    Extractions: What is Energy Kid's Corner Milestones Energy Quiz ... About Energy Ant and Us Petroleum (Oil) A Fossil Fuel Oil was formed from the remains of animals and plants that lived millions of years ago in a marine (water) environment before the dinosaurs. Over the years, the remains were covered by layers of mud. Heat and pressure from these layers helped the remains turn into what we today call crude oil . The word "petroleum" means "rock oil" or "oil from the earth." WHERE DOES OIL COME FROM? Crude oil is a smelly, yellow-to-black liquid and is usually found in underground areas called reservoirs. Scientists and engineers explore a chosen area by studying rock samples from the earth. Measurements are taken, and, if the site seems promising, drilling begins. Above the hole, a structure called a 'derrick' is built to house the tools and pipes going into the well. When finished, the drilled well will bring a steady flow of oil to the surface. The world's top five crude oil-producing countries are: and in the United States the top five crude oil-producing states are: The amount of crude oil produced (domestically) in the United States has been getting smaller each year. However, the use of products made from crude oil has been growing, making it necessary to bring more oil from other countries. Over 60 percent of the crude oil and petroleum products used in the United States comes from other countries.

The problem with putting all the weight on car manufacturers is that the responsibility lies everywhere. Asphalt, aspirin, and plastics are all made from fossil fuels. Petroleum and natural gas are found along tectonic belts at plate boundaries. Unfortunately, just like with planes, when something goes wrong, it really goes wrong! Oil spills have injured wildlife and temporarily scarred coastlines. Drilling for oil has contaminated underground water reserves. Strip mining has destroyed land and forests and the list goes on.
