Enter your email address document.fuels.src = "images/campaign_selected.gif" Renewable Fuels: Solution for Our Fossil Fuel Dependence The United States consumes nearly 830 million gallons of oil each day to meet current energy needs, and consumption levels are only expected to increase. Nearly 60 percent of this oil is imported, with 22 percent coming from the Persian Gulf, making us highly vulnerable to that region's political instability. Moreover, burning fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel leads to a host of environmental problems, including smog and other toxic air pollution, oil spills, and global warming. Fossil fuels burned by the transportation sector are responsible for approximately one-third of the US contribution to the greenhouse gas pollution that causes global warming. Renewable transportation fuels can help solve many of these problems, including global warming, air pollution, shortages, price shocks, the toxic nightmare caused by the gasoline oxygenate methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE)

The utilization of fossil fuels has fueled industrial development and largely supplanted water driven mills and wood or peat burning for heat. The burning of fossil fuels is the major source of emissions of carbon dioxide which is one of the greenhouse gases Origin There are two theories on the origin of fossil fuels: the biogenic theory and the abiogenic theory. The two theories have been intensely debated since the , shortly after the discovery of widespread petroleum. According to the biogenic theory, fossil fuels are the altered remnants of ancient plant and animal life deposited in sedimentary rocks. The organic molecules associated with these organisms forms a group of chemicals known as kerogens which are then transformed into hydrocarbons by the process of catagenesis .

Contact us Help Search Canada Site ... GSC Calgary Calgary Home Introduction View the Poster View by Topics ... Sandstone City Fossil Fuels Slope Stability Rivers Groundwater Satellite Image ... Contributors Fossil fuel energy Millions of years ago, the region around Calgary was covered by an inland sea teeming with marine life. The land to the west featured rivers draining from the ancestral Rocky Mountains and swamps covered by dense vegetation. Burial of land plants creates coal Dead land plants were buried by mud and sand as environments shifted. Through heat and pressure resulting from burial over millions of years, the sediments gradually transformed into sedimentary rock. The plant matter, concentrated at levels that were formerly swamps, became the coal seams of the Canmore and Bankhead areas. They were deformed to mineable thicknesses by faulting and folding. Burial of marine life produces oil and gas When the marine plants and animals died, their remains settled on the seafloor where they were buried by layers of sediment and fossilized. As the soft organic tissue was buried, heat and pressure transformed it into oil and gas: lower heat preserves oil whereas gas can survive to higher temperatures. Migration and entrapment The rocks in which oil and gas form are called ‘source rocks’. Due to the pressure of overlying rock layers, oil and gas seldom remain in the source rock. Instead, they migrate with water through the layers of rock until they either escape at the surface or are trapped by an impermeable barrier. There are two main types of traps: stratigraphic and structural.

Learning Center Chapter 3 Where do Fossil Fuels Come From? What does Tyrannosaurus Rex have to do with oil and gas? Despite the popular beliefs that oil and gas came from dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurs Rex did not have a lot to do with forming fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are crude oil, natural gas, and coal. There are two theories about how crude oil and natural gas were formed. Some scientists believe that petroleum is the result of the decomposition of plants and animals, while others suggest that decaying plants and animals had nothing to do with it. ORGANIC THEORY The organic theory says that oil and gas were formed from the remains of plants and animals. Scientists, who support this theory, think that oil and gas were formed from the remains of small or microscopic plants and animals that lived in prehistoric rivers and seas. When these plants and animals died they combined with mud, silt, and sand to form layers of the mixture called sediments. After thousands of years, a thick layer of sediment formed on the bottom of the sea. As more layers were added the weight of the new layers applied pressure to the lower layers and turned them into sedimentary rock. Scientists believe that high heat and pressure, bacteria, chemical reactions, and other forces transformed these sediments into oil and gas. INORGANIC THEORY Other scientists believe in the inorganic theory that says that oil and gas were produced during the formation of the solar system and the earth. The inorganic theory is often used to explain why oil and gas are found in unexpected places and differences in chemical composition.

Fossil fuels are formed over millions of years from the fossils, or remains, of dead animals and plants that were buried under dirt and rock. Heat from inside the earth and pressure from dirt and rock changes these fossils into oil, natural gas and coal. Because it takes millions of years to make or "renew" more fossil fuels, we call them "nonrenewable fuels." We are currently using the fuels that were made more than 65 million years ago. Once this fuel is gone, it is gone for good. There are three major forms of fossil fuels: coal, oil and natural gas. All three were formed many millions of years ago during the time of the dinosaurs. Coal: Coal used in power plants is found abundantly in the northeastern United States and Canada. It is mined in deep mines or in strip mines closer to the surface. Oil or Petroleum: To find oil and natural gas, companies drill through the earth to deposits deep below the surface. The oil and natural gas are then pumped from below the ground by oil rigs. Before it can be used the petroleum or crude oil must be changed or refined into other products. At oil refineries, crude, thick black oil is split into various types of products through heating. These products include gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, propane gas, ship oil and oil to burn in power plants to make electricity. Oil is also made into many different products from fertilizers and clothes, to toothbrushes and plastic bottles. In fact, almost all plastic products come from oil.

Lecture 10: Fossil Fuels as Energy Sources PowerPoint Class Notes Origins of fossil fuels Importance of structure Most of world's reserves of oil and natural gas contained in deformed rocks fig Most coal exploited from relatively undeformed sedimentary strata. Importance of depositional environment A few large oil fields in lake (lacustrine) sediments. Mostly sediments with lots of marine organic matter yield large amounts of oil and gas. Importance of high productivity and good preservation (low oxygen or anoxic basins). Coal forms from peat which accumulates in bogs and swamps ( fig Freshwater swamps are low in sulfate and thus the goal generated is lower in sulphur. Importance of burial and thermal reactions Burial preserves the organic carbon from oxidation and predation. Chemical changes accompany conversion from plants to peat, thence to lignite, to sub-bituminous coal, bituminous coal, and semi-bituminous coal, finally to anthracite coal, and ultimately to graphite. As heating progresses at higher and higher temperatures ( fig carbon content increases.
