1 NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY Coal Oil Natural gas nuclear

2 definition  Non-renewable- any natural resource that cannot be replenished by natural means at the same rates that it is consumed Examples?

3 COAL  How mined?  Surface  Underground  Longwall

4 COAL  Processing steps  Washed  crushed

5 COAL  uses

6 DTE Monroe Coal plant

7 How it works

8 coal advantages  Plentiful in US  inexpensive disadvantages  Produces CO 2 when burned  Produces ash- must be disposed of

9 OIL  How mined?  Drilled  Pumped out  Into pipeline

10 Processing (refining) steps: Boiled Separates based on boiling point and density OIL

11 Oil uses

12 Oil Advantages  High heating value  Abundant  Easy to refine disadvantages  Emits CO 2  rely on foreign sources  Oil spills

13 NATURAL GAS  How mined?  Fracking  Force chemical laden water thru fractures and breaks up shale  Releases oil and gas

14

15 Processing (refining)  Removes impurities  Mainly sulfur

16 Natural Gas advantages  Burns cleaner  Inexpensive  No ash  High heating value diadvantages  Hard to recover from ground  Contaminate groundwater?

17 NUCLEAR  Uranium mining  Surface mining (mostly)

18 Uranium processing  Crush  Purified  Dried  Yellow cake  Enriched to concentrate

19 Uranium uses?  Nuclear power plants (electricity)  Nuclear weapons

20 Nuclear power plant how it works

21

22 Fermi 2, Monroe Michigan

23 nuclear  Advantages  No emissions  Cost efficient  Disadvantages  Radioactivity  Nuclear waste  Plants expensive to build
