FOSSIL FUEL EUNHEE CHO PRESENTS
2
INTRODUCTION Types of energy sources-1 Renewable : the supply is unlimited no fuel costs generate far less pollution → eco-friendly e.g. wind, wave, geothermal, solar, biomass energy
3
INTRODUCTION Types of energy sources-2 Non- Renewable : limited supply of energy e.g. fossil fuels, nuclear fuels
4
ENERGY SOURCES Wind energy (Eub and Ernest) Nuclear energy (Henry)
5
ENERGY SOURCES Hydroelectric (Ryan) Wave power (Aidan)
6
INTRODUCTION- FOSSIL FUEL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:World_energy_consumption.svg
7
TYPES OF FOSSIL FUEL COAL -composed of plants that died ages ago -“fossil fuel” -Energy accumulated through photosynthesis -Burn to release energy -CO 2 emission -Environmental, economical cost -Limited amount of coal
8
TYPES OF FOSSIL FUEL OIL & GAS -microscopic organisms under seabed -easier to extract than coal -burn to turn stored energy into heat -running out … 1x 10^14L in 2003
9
GENERATE ELECTRICITY - COAL -Mined coal is delivered to coal-fired power plants -the coal combusted to boil water and produce steam -operate a conventional steam turbine and generator -The electricity is sent through a transmission system
10
OIL AS ENERGY SOURCE Fractional distillation -heat crude oil -distill according to boiling point
11
USAGE-OIL -Transportation Fuels (Gasoline, Diesel, Jet Fuel..) -Asphalt -Military -Fertilizer -Heating -Feedstock -Plastics -Electrical generation
12
ENERGY DENSITY -Amount of energy that can be extracted per kg of fuel -higher energy density, less cost
13
ENERGY DENSITY OF FUELS FuelEnergy denity (MJ/kg) Fusion fuel300000000 Uranium 23590000000 Petrol46.9 Diesel45.8 Biodiesel42.2 Crude oil41.9 Coal32.5 Sugar17.0
14
EFFICIENCY OF FOSSIL FUEL COAL -overall about 40% Chemical energy -> hot steam -> motion -> electricity (exhaust gas) (waste heat)(friction)
15
USE OF FOSSIL FUEL IN JEJU - 40% of energy production of Korea : fossil fuel
16
JEJU ENERGY Jeju- surrounded by natural energy sources Wind, wave, sun -> less efficient => Coal & oil power station is used widely
