Warm Up 1. What is energy? 2. Make a list of all the things today that you used that require energy. 3. Put the following types of energy into either non-renewable or renewable. Biomass, petroleum (oil), natural gas, wind, solar, nuclear, hydroelectric, coal, geothermal
4
Renewable vs. Nonrenewable Renewable Definition Examples Nonrenewable Definition Examples
5
Fossil Fuels Definition Why are the good energy sources? Made of hydrocarbons Burn hot Creates lots of energy Release pollution Types Petroleum Coal Natural Gas
6
Energy Use in the U.S. Where/How is it used? Where does the energy come from?
7
Daily Review #1 4. Define fossil fuel, nonrenewable and renewable. 5. Give an example of each of the above. 6. How would your life be different if we ran out of fossil fuels tomorrow? End
8
Coal Fossil fuel Former bog/swamp Decaying plant/ animal material Acidic Low oxygen Pressure and time Contains sulfur Acid rain Produces a lot of CO 2
9
Coal – Where and How? Mining Deep Strip Refinement Transportation Mostly U.S. Used for Electricity
10
Coal Advantages (Pros) Disadvantages (Cons) EES – 2 EES – 2 EES – 3 EES – 3 EES – 4 EES – 4 EES – 5 EES – 5 EES – 8 EES – 8
11
Daily Review #2 7. Describe how coal is formed. 8. In your opinion, what is the most important advantage of coal and why? 9. In your opinion, what is the most important disadvantage of coal and why? End
12
Petroleum Fossil Fuel Marine organisms Brown/black thick liquid Extraction Drilling Fracking Refined – distillation Heated to a gas Cooled to various liquids or gasses Make many different things
13
Petroleum – Where?
14
Fracking Use existing well Drills horizontally Pumps in Water Sand Chemicals High pressure Breaks open rocks Releases trapped oil and gas Sand holds open cracks Chemicals aids process Products pumped out
15
Fracking – Where?
16
Petroleum Advantages (Pros) Disadvantages (Cons) EES – 2 EES – 2 EES – 3 EES – 3 EES – 4 EES – 4 EES – 5 EES – 5 EES – 8 EES – 8 Petroleum/Natural gas videovideo
17
Natural Gas – What? Colorless, odorless gas Mostly methane Fossil Fuel Usually found with other types Marine organisms - at a higher temp Bacteria during decay process Trapped by nonporous rocks Can also be trapped in small pores of rocks
18
Natural Gas – Where and How? U.S. and Canada Extraction Drilling Fracking Small amount of refining Add a smell Transportation Pipelines Used for Heating Cooking Some vehicles
19
Natural Gas Advantages (Pros) Disadvantages (Cons) EES – 2 EES – 2 EES – 3 EES – 3 EES – 4 EES – 4 EES – 5 EES – 5 EES – 8 EES – 8
