Extractions: Why Biomass? Biomass recycles carbon from the air and spares the use of fossil fuels, reducing the need to pump additional fossil carbon from the ground into the atmosphere. Biomass comes from green plants which actively absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and convert it into sugars, which are then stored in long molecules like cellulose. Eventually this plant carbon is returned to the atmosphere by natural decay processes, including the breakdown of cellulose. We can intervene in this process by breaking down cellulose to glucose in biomass processing plants, then converting the sugars to ethanol, which is a substitute for gasoline. Using ethanol made from biomass sugars reduces the need for fossil fuels like gasoline. Ethanol can also be used to power fuel cells, and is easier to store and distribute than gaseous hydrogen. Biomass can also be burned to produce electricity, or gasified to produce a non-fossil substitute for natural gas. Biomass is an abundant and underutilized resource which remains to be effectively used on a commercial and societal scale. Plants produce an estimated 1 trillion metric tons of cellulose every year. Using even a fraction of this for fuel ethanol and biogas could begin to reduce our yearly addition of more fossil carbon to the atmosphere, and provide additional domestic energy supplies and jobs. Worldwide, the use of biomass could provide social and economic benefits to many countries and reduce their dependence on imported oil, while lowering their emissions of CO2 from fossil carbon.

Extractions: According to Roy McAlister, a research professor at Arizona State University, since the Industrial Revolution humanity has annually consumed about a million years' worth of fossil fuel resources, from reserves that took 100 million years to accumulate. Such levels of demand on a finite supply of fossilized organisms are unsustainable in the long-term. Fossil fuels will run out later rather than sooner, but it is "greenery" ( The Economist 's new term for green issues), not scarcity, that is unsettling the petroleum industry today. Erratic weather patterns, volatile business climate: the scramble is on to develop new energy sources and economies. But technology offers wildcard after wildcard as a possible solution. How are petroleum companies adapting during this boom-or-bust transitional period? Prophets of doom have been predicting that existing reserves will become inadequate to fuel the world's energy needs since the 1970s. But advances in exploration and production technology have in fact increased the amount of petroleum available to such a degree that even squeezing petroleum out of previously unattractive tar sands has become reasonably economic.

In support of that effort, he had already initiated a thorough review of all IAEA activities and programmes relevant to preventing acts of terrorism involving nuclear and other radioactive materials. Presenting the IAEA's annual report before the UN General Assembly, Dr. ElBaradei said: "The Agency is engaged in a variety of activities relevant to combating nuclear terrorism including programmes to ensure physical security, to help prevent and respond to illicit trafficking of nuclear material and other radioactive sources, to promote the safety of nuclear facilities, to safeguard nuclear material against non-peaceful uses, and to respond to emergencies."

Extractions: Why do I need to be concerned about global energy problems? Many issues arise from the use of energy: greenhouse gas emissions, acid rain, climate change, dependency on depleting supplies of fossil fuels especially from politically unstable regions of the world. 80% of the world's electrical production comes from fossil and nuclear fuels, and virtually all transportation is fueled by petroleum. The World Energy Council projects primary energy demand to triple by 2050, as population grows to 8-9 billion and developing nations elevate living standards. The fossil fuels by definition are non-renewable and are destined to run out so economies will be forced to change as these fuels are depleted. Rich nations will be insulated a bit longer, yet scarcity will surely create geopolitical tensions. The emissions from the burning of fossil and nuclear fuels creates atmospheric, water and land pollution and toxic waste. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says this combustion is causing a discernable change of the global weather and climate patterns that will affect all humanity in decades to come.

Extractions: What is the scientific name for the energy in your body like where you get your strength? My teacher said that when you are sleeping the energy is potential. But if you are sleeping your body doesn't stop. It moves because you can have rapid eye movement and your brain keeps working and your digestive system and all, you know, so what's up with that? Wouldn't your body always be kinetic? THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! (Christen, Grade 9, Creek View High School, Dallas, Texas) Your body uses chemical energy to get your strength, and both you and your teacher are correct. Chemical energy in plants and other food is potential energy. This chemical energy is released as it is "burned" or oxidized inside our bodies during digestion - fueling our bodies. Your body actually doesn't shut down totally when you sleep of course, because the your digestive system is always working, breaking down the food into chemical and heat energy fueling your lungs, brain, heart, etc. What your teacher probably means is that your body is at rest and is considered more potential energy (at rest) than when you are awake, walking around (kinetic). Good luck and thanks for asking.

Extractions: April 7, 2003 document.forms[0].onsubmit=submitkiller; Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - General What is an Alternative Fuel? A fuel that can be used instead of conventional transportation fuels (i.e., gasoline and diesel). Alternative fuels include natural gas (compressed and liquefied), propane (LPG), hydrogen, electricity, and more. What are Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFVs)? AFVs are vehicles with engines that operate on an alternative fuel. What is Smog? Smog is the term generally used to describe air pollution. Specifically, smog is derived mainly from vehicles and industry exhaust, and requires specific meteorological conditions (i.e., stagnant air, lots of sunlight, strong inversion layer) to facilitate the chemical reactions which create smog. NOx, CO and reactive hydrocarbons are key ingredients of smog, bringing along their adverse health effects. The individual pollutants that contribute to smog include: Carbon Dioxide (CO ) - A nonpoisonous gas that is a normal ingredient of the air we breathe. CO is a greenhouse gas that traps the earth's heat, contributing to global climate change. CO

Table of Contents ORDER The Nanotechnology Opportunity Report (TM) 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.
