FOSSIL FUELS

Page 2: Fossil  Fuels

WHAT ARE FOSSIL FUELS?

• Oil• Gas• Coal

• Energy rich carbohydraat molecules

Page 3: Fossil  Fuels

HOW ARE THEY FORMED?

• Plants and animals die.• Their remains stay behind• Over time they get covered with large amount of

stone and sand• Under the influence of pressure a chemical

reaction takes place which changes the remains in usable forms of carbohydrates• f.e. C6O6H12 -> CH4 + …..

WHERE ARE THEY MOST COMMENLY FOUND?

WHERE ARE THEY MOST COMMENLY FOUND?

Page 7: Fossil  Fuels

HOW DO WE GET THEM OUT OF THE GROUND?

• Coal• Large open area mines• Mineshafts

• Oil• Oil platforms• Pumpjacks

• Gas• Gas platforms• Drilling rigs

Page 8: Fossil  Fuels

HOW DO WE DRAW ENERGY FROM THEM? (OIL)

• Oil is boiled

• Creating different layers.

• Used for machines and production process for medicines and chemical goods

Page 9: Fossil  Fuels

HOW DO WE DRAW ENERGY FROM THEM? (COAL)

• Mainly produces heat and electricity

• When burned it produces steam • Producing electricity

Page 11: Fossil  Fuels

HOW DO WE DRAW ENERGY FROM THEM? (GAS)

• Energy taken with gas turbines• By rotating a dynamo• Cleaner than other FF fuels

• is the best domestic heating fuel

FOSSIL FUEL USAGE

• 87.67 % of the total energy consumption in 2012 is being produced by fossil fuels

• 2006 - Fossil fuel consumption of total energy consumption per country

• • America 85.6% • Netherlands 92.5%• Belgium 74.1%• Germany 81.6 %• Sweden 33.4%• Switzerland 53.9%

FORECAST(DEPLETION)

• Proved reserves 2005 – 2007

• Coal: 905 billion metric tonnes left.• Oil: 1119 billion barrels to 1317 billion barrels left.• Gas: 175 – 181 trillion cubic metres left.

• Daily production 2006

• Coal: 16,761,260 metric tonnes.• Oil: 84,000,000 barrels.• Gas: 2960 billion cubic metres.

FORECAST(DEPLETION)

• For how long do we still have fossil fuels?

• Using the information given on the previous dia

Coal: 148 years Oil: 43 years Natural gas: 61 years

• Most optimistic guess

Coal: 417 years Oil: 43 years Natural gas: 167 years

FOSSIL FUEL USAGE (FUTURE)

• What to consider

• Population growth• Economy• Technology• Renewable energy• Depletion numbers of fossil fuels

Page 16: Fossil  Fuels

HOW DO WE GET THE MOST OUT OF THE REMAINING QUANTITIES?

• Use more renewable energy

• New inventions

• Save energy yourself!

PRO’S OF FOSSIL FUELS

• Very large amounts of electricity can be generated in one place using coal, fairly cheaply.

• You can build fossil-fuelled power stations almost anywhere, as long as you can transport the fuel to the power station.

• The transportation of gas and oil to power stations is easy.

Page 18: Fossil  Fuels

CON’S OF FOSSIL FUELS

• Pollution (carbon dioxide and acid rain)

• Not renewable on short terms

• Large area’s of landscape are ruined because of mining and landscape is needed to store coal near the power stations

Page 19: Fossil  Fuels

CONCLUSION

• Right now, we can’t live without fossil fuels

• Preserve fossil fuels

• We need to change our energy production
