Extractions: One of the biggest benefits of fossil fuels is their cost. Coal, oil and natural gas are abundant right now and relatively inexpensive to drill or mine for. In fact, coal is the most plentiful fossil fuel and it is found over much of the world. Because the costs are contained, electricity and fuels for transportation and heating are available to everyone. Limitations

The Energy Story - Chapter 8: Fossil Fuels - Coal, Oil And Natural Gas
The Energy Story is a general introduction to energy. Chapters explore renewable energy, fossil fuels, electricity, circuits and many other things. There are three major forms of fossil fuels coal, oil and natural gas. it and it eventually over millions of years turned into coal, oil or petroleum, and natural gas.
http://www.energyquest.ca.gov/story/chapter08.html

Extractions: There are three major forms of fossil fuels: coal, oil and natural gas. All three were formed many hundreds millions of years ago before the time of the dinosaurs - hence the name fossil fuels. The age they were formed is called the Carboniferous period. It was part of the Paleozoic Era. "Carboniferous" gets its name from carbon the basic element in coal and other fossil fuels. The Carboniferous Period occurred from about 360 to 286 million years ago. At the time, the land was covered with swamps filled with huge trees, ferns and other large leafy plants, similar to the picture above. The water and seas were filled with algae - that green stuff that forms on a pool of water. Algae is actually millions of very small plants. Some deposits of coal can be found during the time of the dinosaurs. For example, thin carbon layers can be found during the late Cretacious period (65 million years ago) - during the time of Tyrannosaurus Rex
DOE-Fossil Energy: Education - Frequently Asked Questions
What are fossil fuels and why are they called that? The most commonfossil fuels are coal, oil (also called petroleum) and natural gas.
http://www.fe.doe.gov/education/gen_questions.html

Extractions: The most common fossil fuels are coal, oil (also called petroleum) and natural gas. Some other fuels, like oil shale and peat (a very young form of coal), also are part of the fossil fuel family. These fuels were formed millions of years ago from plants and animals that died and decomposed beneath tons of soil and rock. At the same time (and for millions of years afterward), ancient plants and animals left their outlines in mud which later dried and solidified into rocks. These outlines, along with hardened bone fragments from the prehistoric animals, are called "fossils." [More information on how fossil fuels were created] Coal was formed from plant debris while natural gas and oil were formed from tiny organisms that settled to the bottom of ancient seas and rivers. Differences in temperatures and pressures, along with the amount of time the organisms decayed underground, typically determined whether oil or natural gas was formed. Generally, where the underground temperature was hotter or the pressures were the greatest, natural gas formed.
HydrogenSource - Technology
A fuel processing system converts hydrocarbon or other organic fuels to hydrogen of composition and purity suitable for fuel cell operation. The fuels include petroleum derived liquids, such as naphtha and gasoline, petroleum derived gases, such as methane and propane, and other fuel such as methanol and ethanol.

Extractions: What is a fuel processing system? A fuel processing system converts hydrocarbon or other organic fuels to hydrogen of composition and purity suitable for fuel cell operation. The fuels include petroleum derived liquids, such as naphtha and gasoline, petroleum derived gases, such as methane and propane, and other fuel such as methanol and ethanol. The product hydrogen gas must be supplied at temperature, humidity and purity level determined by the type of fuel cell using the hydrogen. The conversion process is carried out in a fuel processing train. The "train" is a series of chemical reactors which sequentially effect changes to the fuel to bring it to fuel cell requirements. One of the most critical steps in the process train is the step to remove sulfur from the source fuel. Reducing the fuel sulfur content to very low levels, parts per billion, makes the subsequent processing steps easier and insures high product purity. The second step in the train is the primary conversion step. Here the source fuel is broken down and a product is produced which is primarily hydrogen, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. The composition at this point depends on the primary process. It may be catalytic steam reforming, autothermal reforming, partial oxidation or other processes. When reforming is used steam is supplied to the reactor to enhance the quantity of hydrogen produced. Partial oxidation requires no steam but produces less hydrogen per unit of fuel than the reforming processes.
Energy Matters: Fossil Fuels - Petroleum
Home. fossil fuels. petroleum Contents
http://hyperion.advanced.org/20331/types/fossil/petrol.html

Extractions: Petroleum Contents Petroleum Petroleum, or "crude oil," is a liquid fuel that is present in various locations throughout the world. It has many uses, from the generation of electricity to the manufacture of medicines, plastics, and other commercial items. Much like coal, petroleum is formed from the remains of biodegraded organic material. When animals that lived in the sea millions of years ago died underwater, their remains were gradually covered by layers of very fine dirt known as "silt" on the ocean floor. Then, as the years passed, pressure from the layers built up and compressed the organic material, forming the oil. Petroleum has many different "viscosities," or thicknesses. The viscosity depends on the amount of gases and solids that are present in the oil. Often, natural gas is disolved in the liquid and can be extracted for other uses. Petroleum take three main forms: paraffin, asphaltic, and mixed-base. These forms are based upon the chemical makeup of the hydrocarbon-based oil.

http://hyperion.advanced.org/20331/types/fossil/petroluses.html

Extractions: Uses and Availability of Petroleum and Its Products Before the current uses of petroleum were discovered, its main applications were waterproofing and light emission. In the mid-1800s, it was found that a liquid fuel called "kerosene" could be isolated from crude oil. Kerosene was important because it was used a great deal for lighting purposes during the rest of the 19th century. During the industrial revolution of the late 1890s, new energy sources were required to fuel the innovations constantly being discovered. Thus, people began to experiment with crude oil's other properties. Distilled petroleum began to overtake coal as the primary heating fuel. Furthermore "gasoline," a fuel that could be distilled from crude oil, took on central importance in industrialized societies because of the inventions of the automobile and the internal combustion engine. Furthermore, the development of electricity around the turn of the century increased demand for fuels that could be burned to power generators, thus increasing demand for petroleum. Petroleum can also be directly combusted to heat houses and other buildings. Unfortunately, because crude oil contains a number of impurities such as sulfur and nitrogen, its combustion can contribute to pollution and the greenhouse effect.

http://www.energyquest.ca.gov/ask_quester/answers_fossil_fuels.html

Extractions: We'll probably run out of fossil fuels first. During the 20th century, energy has become more easily available, especially from fossil fuels. Not only do countries depend on burning fossil fuels to generate electricity but they are used in vehicles. Each year, more oil, coal and natural gas are found. How long will the reserves of fossil fuels last? In 1960, 40 billion tons of oil and gas were known to exist. At that rate they were being used across the world, the reserve was estimated to last about 40 years. By 1990, more gas and oil had been discovered (estimated about 142 billion tons of known reserves), but the rate at which it was used had also increased. Estimates of reserves are said to last between 40 and 70 years at the rate of current use. The developed nations of the world use fossil fuels at an incredible rate, mostly for transportation and to generate electricity. Nuclear power is being used in increasing amounts to help satisfy the huge demand for energy. The nuclear fuels could last many hundreds of years, even if demand increases.
