The Sustainable Management and Conservation of Fossil Fuels
This document discusses fossil fuels and the need for their sustainable management and conservation. It defines fuels as substances that provide energy through chemical changes and lists petroleum and coal as important fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are non-renewable and our most essential energy source, so we must manage them judiciously. The document recommends converting fossil fuels to more efficient forms like compressed natural gas, reducing electricity consumption to use less coal, recycling and reusing products to limit emissions, and increasing renewable energy sources like wind and solar which produce little pollution. Currently 85% of global energy comes from fossil fuels but only 2% from renewable sources, so conserving fossil fuels is essential to sustain the Earth's energy needs.
The Sustainable Management and Conservation of Fossil Fuels
- 1. The Sustainable Management & Conservation of Fossil Fuel Maria Mirza -- X-J
- 2. A fuel is a substance that provides a form of energy. Examples are heat, light, electricity, or motion. It result of a chemical change. What IS a Fuel?
- 3. PETROLEUM Our most important natural resource. We use petrol and diesel to run cars, trucks, aircraft, ships, and other vehicles. Cheapest and most essential source of energy. Used in electricity production and power generation. COAL
- 4. U S TA I N E N E R G Y S Why do we need to manage and sustain fossil fuels? Natural resources are very important for us. That is why it is necessary to take care of our natural wealth and use it judiciously. Ways and efforts for conservation mean protection. To live comfortably in the coming year,we must preserve the great treasure of the earth, nature.
- 5. Save Fossil Fuels 1. Conversion into Efficient Forms of Oil like Compressed natural gas (CNG) is one of the cleanest burning transportation fuel on the market today. CNG burns cleaner than petroleum based products because of its lower carbon content. CNG produces the fewest emissions of all other fuels and contains significantly less pollutants than conventional liquid fuels.
- 6. Be Mindful of Electricity 02 Coal is mainly used to produce electricity. When we save electricity, then the consumption of coal will be automatically reduced.
- 7. 03. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Refuse Products Recycling product reduces the amount of trees harvested, but also limits emissions created when cutting down trees. Recycling plastic means creating less new plastic, which is definitely a good thing, especially as it's usually made from fossil fuel hydrocarbons. of the Amazon Rainforest Has Been Destroyed in the Last 50 Years 20%
- 8. 04. Renewable Energy Unlike Fossil Fuels, Renewable Energy production sources emit little to no greenhouse gases or pollutants to the air. Renewable Energy is replenished naturally and relatively quickly. This'll result in Fossil Fuels being conserved for longer states of time.
- 9. Some Data 85% of the current global energy system is based on fossil fuels. <2% of today’s global energy demand is met by wind and solar Hence, It is essential for us to sustain as well as conserve the precious fossil fuels, which are the lifeline of our Earth.
