Fossil fuels

The momentous move toward fossil fuels has done a lot of good.

One of the primary measures to be taken to address climate change encompasses reducing the utilization of fossil fuels and combating desertification.

Testing the Limits of Fossil Fuels

Biofuels come in two forms biodiesel used as a fossil fuel diesel substitute and bioethanol used as a fossil fuel gasoline substitute.

Some two thirds of the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change trace back to fossil fuel use.

Escaping the Fossil Fuel Trap

First, using fossil fuels remains the only way out of poverty for developing countries.

But use of fossil fuels, and hence higher CO2 emissions, seems to go hand in hand with growth.

The atmosphere is filling with greenhouse gases from heavy use of fossil fuels.

Today s politicians focus narrowly on how high a carbon tax should be to stop people from using fossil fuels.

The FAO's report highlights the need to develop sustainable energy sources and to promote the use of fossil fuels and solar energy.

Of course, fossil fuels brought their own environmental problems.

We need to use energy far more wisely while shifting from fossil fuels to low carbon energy sources.

Loss of natural coastal environments is one of the most serious consequences of tourism development The operation of tourism facilities leading to the use of non renewable or precious resources such as freshwater and fossil fuels and the generation of pollutants and waste.

The cities and nations that have invested most heavily in car based transport systems are now the least environmentally sustainable, as measured by per capita fossil fuel use.

Divest in a Better Future

Setting the long term goal to get off fossil fuels

Steam reforming Fossil fuels are the dominant source of industrial hydrogen.

Fossil fuel subsidies have the opposite effect.

Fossil fuel and water subsidies have contributed to both problems.

The shift away from fossil fuels will not be easy.

And clearly, with what's going on with fossil fuel usage, or when as the fossil fuel is going away, as oil hits its peak oil, you know, we really have to start thinking about whether or not we should, or could, be moving food 1,500 miles before we eat it.

The Commission believes that over the next four decades, fossil fuel costs will climb sharply, because sources will dry up and governments will place massive taxes on fossil fuels.

After energy efficiency , add , advanced fossil fuel technology .

But oil prices do not reflect the true costs of fossil fuel consumption.

Burning fossil fuels is having a measurable impact on the earth s temperature.

The price of fossil fuels, however, is likely to continue to trend upward.

The switch to fossil fuels has also had tremendous environmental benefits.

The purpose of the project is to make the FAA less reliant on fossil fuels.

Ending our reliance on fossil fuels requires a complete transformation of the world s energy systems.

In these cases, the fossil fuel is partially oxidized, for instance in a gasifier.

Biofuels offer some 60 per cent carbon dioxide saving on their fossil fuel equivalents.

What is stoppable is the steep rise in Asia s reliance on fossil fuels.

The United States spends heavily to subsidize gasoline and other fossil fuels.

This same short term thinking characterizes the world s dependence on fossil fuels.

The benefits of fossil fuels must be weighed against the costs of global warming.

The 1973 oil crisis strengthened Sweden's commitment to decrease dependence on imported fossil fuels.

The majority of fossil fuel usage for the generation of electricity was coal and gas.

It is a potential means of mitigating the contribution of fossil fuel emissions to global warming and ocean acidification.

Many Parties presented estimated reserves of fossil fuels and or non fossil fuel energy sources.

Regardless, fossil fuels will remain an important part of the global energy mix for the foreseeable future, and it is thus critical that fossil energy technologies continue to evolve towards cleaner, more efficient and less carbon intensive systems.

But now, in the name of saving the planet from climate change, environmentalists are proposing an immense global campaign to cut down and burn trees and scrubs in order to reduce fossil fuel use.

MILAN Most people recognize that human activity, primarily the use of fossil fuels, is contributing mightily to an increasing level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Furthermore, within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol, UNIDO promotes solutions to use biotechnologies to supplant the use of fossil fuels by renewable biomass.
