Raw Materials

- Fossil fuels are formed from ancient organic

matter exposed to extreme heat and pressure over

millions of years.

- Fossil fuels are preserved under surface of the

earth and are not renewable.

-Types of fossil fuels:

Coal Petroleum / Crude oil Natural Gas


4/18

Coal

- United State has the most abundant supply of coal

in the world.

-Mining is necessary in order to extract coal.

-Coal miners can be trapped underground or killed

by hazardous gases.


5/18

Petroleum

-Middle east has the most abundant supply of oil.

-Percentage of world's oil supply per country: Saudi

Arabia 25%, Iraq 11%, Iran 8%, UEA 9%,

Kuwait 9%, and Libya 2%.


6/18

Natural GasThe most abundant supply of natural gas is

found in the Middle East.

Coal Energy Generation


8/18

Natural gas Energy Generation

-Burned and used to turn steam turbines.

-Used to warm water for domestic applications

such as to power stoves, sometimes used to

power automobiles, etc.


9/18

Oil/petroleum Energy

Generations- Products such as diesel and gasoline are

used in internal combustion engines.

Economics


11/18

Coal's Environmental Impact

- Contaminates ecosystem's soil.

- Scrubbing process releases water

contaminated with sludge and ash. Ash could

be used to form cement, asphalt, and drywall.

- 65 to 67% of heat is released into

environment.


12/18

Oil's Environmental Impact

- Several health risks.

- 2010 bp oil spill caused severe environmental

damage.

- Releases incompletely burned compounds when

burned. Released compounds can be used inprocess to make carbonate building materials.


13/18

Natural Gas's Environmental

Impact

- Cleanest of all fossil fuels.

- Produces greenhouse gases such as methane.

Methane can be burned to produce heat, which is

converted into energy.


14/18

Advantages

Fossil fuel are generally low cost.

Petroleum and Gas are easy to transport.

fossil fuels are easy to find.


15/18

Disadvantages

Non-Renewable.

Human health is affected.

Supply is depleting rapidly.
