ENERGYFOSSIL FUELS

• What are fossil fuels? • Spatial distribution and consumption of

oil, coal and natural gas• Change of use of fossil fuels through

history• Sustainability? Do we need anything

more than fossil fuels?• Case study: Algeria

Energy consumption

Fossil fuels:79,5% Fossil fuels: 64,5%

Page 3: ENERGY FOSSIL FUELS What are fossil fuels? Spatial distribution and consumption of oil, coal and natural gas Change of use of fossil fuels through history

Fossil fuels

• combustible materials made from fossilised remains

• non-renewable

• contain hydro-carbonscoaloilnatural gas

Page 4: ENERGY FOSSIL FUELS What are fossil fuels? Spatial distribution and consumption of oil, coal and natural gas Change of use of fossil fuels through history

Coal

• extracted from the ground

Page 5: ENERGY FOSSIL FUELS What are fossil fuels? Spatial distribution and consumption of oil, coal and natural gas Change of use of fossil fuels through history

Why is coal so important?

• the most common source of electricity world-wide

• the safest fossil fuel to transport, store and use

• abundant coal reserves coal users are guaranteed security of supply at competitive prices electricity supplies for industrial and domestic use are assured

Page 6: ENERGY FOSSIL FUELS What are fossil fuels? Spatial distribution and consumption of oil, coal and natural gas Change of use of fossil fuels through history

Coal’s role in the world

• Over 23% of primary energy needs worldwide are met by coal.

• 39% of global electricity is generated from coal  • 66% of global steel production depends on coal • Spending is increasing on technology research

and development programmes to improve thermal efficiency and reduce GHG and other emissions.

Uses of coal

• solid fuel to produce heat through combustion produces CO2 and SO2 environmental damage (e.g. acid rain, global warming)

• electricity generation• can be converted into liquid

fuels like gasoline or diesel• steel and cement

Oil (petroleum)

• liquid – brown, black, greenish

• important primary energy source

Page 11: ENERGY FOSSIL FUELS What are fossil fuels? Spatial distribution and consumption of oil, coal and natural gas Change of use of fossil fuels through history

Uses of oil

• fuel (e.g. transport, heating)

• plastics

• lubricants in engines

• roofing tiles

• e.g. fertilizers, medicines – indirect need of oil

World consumption: roughly 77 million barrels of oil a day

Natural gas

• a gas produced by the anaerobic decay of organic material

• usually found in oil fields and natural gas fields, but is also generated in swamps and marshes in landfill sites, and during digestion in animals.

• commercially produced from oil fields and natural gas fields

Page 19: ENERGY FOSSIL FUELS What are fossil fuels? Spatial distribution and consumption of oil, coal and natural gas Change of use of fossil fuels through history

Uses• Power generation• gas turbines and steam turbines • natural gas produces less greenhouse gases. For an equivalent

amount of heat, burning natural gas produces about 30% less CO2 than burning oil and about 45% less than burning coal

• Combined cycle power generation using natural gas is thus the cleanest source of power available using fossil fuels

• Natural gas vehicles• Compressed natural gas (and LPG) is used as a clean alternative to

other automobile fuels• countries with the largest number of natural gas vehicles: Argentina,

Brazil, Pakistan, Italy, and India

• Domestic use - cooking and heating• Fertilizer - a major feedstock for the production of ammonia

The future of fossil fuels

Page 32: ENERGY FOSSIL FUELS What are fossil fuels? Spatial distribution and consumption of oil, coal and natural gas Change of use of fossil fuels through history

What will happen in the coming century?

• Coal is most likely to remain for longer. 500 billion tones of coal, about 200 years’ worth, remain underground. ( figure 2)

• Oil and gas are the most likely to run out within the next century.

• Over the last 25 years, various predictions have been made about the supply of crude oil. According to these figures, we should have run out of oil by now!

• However, more oil’s fields are discovering by the time!

Proportion of energy in future

Page 34: ENERGY FOSSIL FUELS What are fossil fuels? Spatial distribution and consumption of oil, coal and natural gas Change of use of fossil fuels through history

What could replace fossil fuels?

• solar, wind and hydro energy
