Basics Introduction FAQ Current Uses ... Your Account banner("468","60","6"); Home The Nanocatalysis and Fossil Fuels Report "Nanocatalysis and Fossil Fuels" , contains an in-depth analysis of the impact of nanocatalysis on the global energy industry, a detailed description of the technologies involved, and profiles of the leading players. Despite earlier oil supply scares, most countries in the world are still heavily dependent on imported oil, especially for transport. Yet many of these countries have huge reserves of coal or gas that cannot currently be economically exploited. Recent developments in the application of nanotechnology to catalysis are promising to lower oil price pressure through improved coal liquefaction and gas to liquid processes, allowing countries such as China, the US, Canada, India, Russia and Australia to significantly reduce or eliminate their requirements for imported oil. This could cause a permanent downward adjustment in the price of oil that would render high-production-cost operations, especially those offshore, uneconomic, and significantly reduce the economic and political influence of oil-producing nations and OPEC. Table of Contents ORDER The Nanotechnology Opportunity Report (TM) All 25 Reports Executive Summary Energy is the world's largest market, and one that has political and strategic impacts unmatched by any other sector. Most countries are entirely dependent for their energy needs on the finite resources of fossil fuels. Fluctuations in energy prices can bring economies to their knees, and allow otherwise less influential or developed countries to become major players in world politics.

44. Energy Saving Now! The general principle that the amount of fossil fuels remaining is ultimately limitedand cannot last for ever is obviously true, but estimating how long they http://energy.saving.nu/energytoday/reserves.shtml

HOME About Us Introduction Founders Statement ... Legal Search for Energy Saving in: General Strategies California Environment ... California Crises Reserves of Fossil Fuels. By Emil Bedi CANCEE and Hakan Falk "Energy Saving Now" Fossil fuels are valuable natural energy sources which required several millions of years for their creation but are now rapidly being depleted. The prominent worry that fossil fuels will run out was reported almost 30 years ago by the influential book Limits to Growth. This book reported a series of computer simulations of future resource use in which world fuel consumption continued to rise exponentially. The predicted result was an ultimate collapse in fuel supplies, regardless of the amount of fuel assumed to be available. These fears came into sharp focus in the 1973 fuel crisis, when the member nations OPEC were able for the first time to co-ordinate their policies and raised the price of oil dramatically. One of the factors which gave the OPEC states the power to exert their influence so strongly was that the USA, formerly a major exporter of oil , had become an importer. United States had used up most of the easily obtainable oil from the Texas oil fields. Like the fossil fuels, uranium is also one of the depletable natural resources. If uranium is only used in a once-through cycle where it is burned in a reactor only once and disposed as a waste thereafter, confirmed reserves are destined to be depleted in the next 60 years.

46. Science Line - Earth & Environment - What Are The Problems With Fossil Fuels? Ar areas no longer exist so there is nothing to replenish the fossil fuels even if Butthe general problem with the whole area of alternative fuels is that until http://www.sciencenet.org.uk/database/earth/energy/e00051d.html

What are the problems with fossil fuels? Are there any problems with the alternatives? Fossil fuels were made millions of years ago by rotting vegetation and dead animals being crushed by layers of soil and rock laid down on top of them. This process took millions of years to produce what fossil fuel reserves there are now within the Earth and the process is unlikely to repeat itself. Fossil fuels were produced when the climate of the Earth was very different. Large, densely vegetated areas existed over much of the Earth and it is these that produced the fossil fuels. These areas no longer exist so there is nothing to replenish the fossil fuels even if we could wait around for millions of years. So we are using up at enormous rates the limited supplies that make up our main sources of power. Wind energy is already quite popular even in this country. Wind has always been used as a source of power: windmills used to provide the turning energy necessary to grind flour. Now, that turning energy is being converted into electricity by high-tech windmills. It's a very clean source of power - there are none of the by-products you get from burning fossil fuels like carbon dioxide, but to produce enough power you need several large windmills arranged in what is known as a wind farm. In Wales where these wind farms already exist, some people argue that they are ugly and quite noisy while others find them strangely beautiful. Geothermal energy comes from inside the Earth. The inside of the Earth is naturally hot. It's cooling down from when the planet formed and also being heated by radioactive elements and tidal forces from the Moon. Countries where the Earth's crust is thin or fractured so that we can get near to this internal energy, can make use of it. Iceland has many hot springs where water is heated to almost boiling point by the heat of the Earth. Geothermal power stations pump water down towards the centre of the Earth so that the heat turns it into steam. This steam rises up towards the surface of the Earth again where it drives turbines to produce electricity. Again this is a very clean form of energy, however it can only be used in a small number of places where the natural geography of the land makes it possible to access the internal heat source of the Earth.

Home worldwise wiseguide™ choosing better products energy products general information The burning of fossil fuels coal, oil, and natural gas provides us with almost 90 percent of the energy we use to run our industries, grow our food, live in our homes, and drive our cars. These petrochemicals are unhealthy, polluting, expensive, and nonrenewable in short, they are not sustainable. At our present rate of use, we have enough worldwide reserves to last only another twenty to forty years. Sooner or later we are going to have to make major changes in our global energy use. Renewable energy. To live sustainably, we will, within the foreseeable future, need to move from using nonrenewable fossil fuels as our source of power, to using renewable sources of energy. While solar, wind, hydroelectric and biomass already have limited installations as part of progressive utility companies, solar (and, to a lesser extent, wind power) is accessible to almost any homeowner (depending, of course, on the amount of sun at the specific site). Though renewable energy equipment is not yet price-competitive in closely-populated areas that are "on-the-grid," installations in remote areas (where it can be very expensive or even impossible to run power lines) have shown that renewable energy sources can provide all the energy needed for a private home.

50. Ban Fossil Fuels - It's The Simple Solution To Climate Change - And Quite A Lot The entire economy is built on the combustion of fossil fuels. As Jack Doyle s newbook The Autocrats documents, general Motors designed, tested, and started http://www.urban75.com/Action/news130.html

home action news Ban Fossil Fuels It's the simple solution to climate change - and quite a lot else besides. By George Monbiot , from the Guardian 9th November 2000, If you want to know whether fuel in Britain is too expensive or too cheap, just look at how it's used. One superstore chain lands its fish at Aberdeen and trucks it down to Cornwall to be smoked. Another buys vegetables in Worcestershire, then drives them first to Hereford, then Dyfed, then Manchester before trucking them back to Worcestershire to be sold. Onions are shipped in from Argentina, potatoes from Australia. Every day, aeroplanes, whose fuel, being wholly untaxed, costs only 17 pence a litre, bring lettuces from Kenya and Zimbabwe. Truckers in Britain are in trouble not because diesel prices are too high, but because their own trade associations, being partly controlled by the superstores, have demanded that the government allow ever heavier lorries onto the roads. This means that fewer vehicles are needed to shift the same amount of goods (though they have to travel further), with the result that the sector is now suffering from overcapacity. Their customers are, therefore, able to nail the truckers to the floor. It is a source of enduring mystery to me that farmers, like lorry drivers, are calling for cheaper, rather than more expensive, fuel. Cheap fuel has destroyed British farming. It has allowed produce from the other side of the world to outcompete our own. Within Britain, it enables superstores to centralise their distribution networks, playing farmers off against each other until they find the lowest national prices for the products they want to buy. The concessions Gordon Brown made yesterday will harm the very people who demanded them.

The nine warmest years on record have occurred since 1990, and scientists expect that the temperature record set in 1998 will be surpassed by a new high this year. Spare the birds: If hydrogen fuel were spilled into the sea in large quantities, it would evaporate instantaneously, with the only by-product being water Scientists have linked the warming trend that accelerated in the 20th century to the build-up of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases. By burning fossil fuels, people released some 6.44 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere last year. With less than 5 per cent of the world's population, the US is the single largest source of carbon from fossil fuels - emitting 24 per cent of the world's total.

52. Environmental Costs Rising For Our Reliance On Fossil Fuels salinity, acid sulphate soils, river system degradation, or general pollution,has up and that Australia should rely on its abundant supply of fossil fuels. http://www.environmentbusiness.com.au/F Wain CT 5th Feb.htm

Environmental costs rising for our reliance on fossil fuels Fiona Wain, CEO, Environment Business Australia Canberra Times, 5 February 2004 - Whether it be power from wind, waves, tides, solar, or geothermal energy, Australia is among the world leaders in developing new technologies to harness constant sources of clean energy. The markets for those technologies are opening rapidly as the world grapples with the threat of climate change and the need to decouple productivity from carbon emissions.Cleaner energy and more efficient production methods offer significant market competition as well as environmental benefits, yet, in spite of the new technologies and expertise that have great export potential, Australia is in the grips of a huge dilemma. This is because the exponential growth curve of cost associated with negative impacts or "externalities" such as climate change, salinity, acid sulphate soils, river system degradation, or general pollution, has up until now, been a legacy for future generations to deal with. For decades the cash price of goods and services has been artificially deflated, with much of the real cost being outsourced on to the environment. The costs, however, that are backing up on us - bush fires, dust storms, floods, soil erosion, salinity, changes in disease patterns, hurricanes and cyclones - can often be attributed, at least in part, to climate change.An integral part of the dilemma we have is the denial that anything truly threatening is happening, and this is fuelled by the argument from some powerful lobby groups that renewable energy sources are too expensive and that Australia should rely on its abundant supply of fossil fuels

See also Chapter 4: Selected target sectors, section 4.2: The energy sector. Agenda 21: Agenda 21 in many of its chapters calls for policies and actions in various areas, that take into account the vulnerability and availability of natural resources, and for an increased efficiency in the use of these resources (e.g. Chapter 4: Changing consumption patterns and Chapter 10: Integrated approach to the planning and management of land resources ). International conventions and agreements: Article 130 of the Treaty on the European Union (Maastricht, 1992) calls for prudent and rational utilisation of natural resources. Energy saving and efficiency are key priorities of European Parliament and Council. The Energy Protocol of Lisbon (1994) calls for energy efficiency.

Campus Water, fuel cells conserve fossil fuels By Leslie Gabel Published: Tuesday, May 20, 2003 President Bush's proposed energy plan focuses on ensuring the United States' freedom from energy dependence on other countries. Alternatives to traditional energy sources need to be put into action to provide supplements for decreasing amounts of fossil fuels, Bush said earlier this year in a radio address to the nation. "America is already using more energy than our resources can provide, and unless we act to increase our energy independence, our reliance of foreign sources of energy will only increase," Bush said. Taking advantage of renewable resources of energy is also one way to fight the looming energy scarcity the United States faces, Bush said. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the United States relies upon fossil fuels to produce the majority of the energy used in the nation today. "We need to alert the world that the oil production peak is close at hand," said Seppo Korpela, professor of mechanical engineering at Ohio State. "We need to figure out how to replace traditional fuel sources with alternative or renewable options," he said.
