Fossil fuels

The first is to shift massively from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, especially wind power and solar power.

In the longer term, it is hoped that carbon capture and sequestration will lead to zero emissions fossil fuel energy systems.

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.

Escaping the Fossil Fuel Trap

Of course, fossil fuels brought their own environmental problems.

So cut to now. We still have an energy crisis, and now we have a climate crisis as well. You know, so humans generate about 12 trillion watts, or 12 terawatts, from fossil fuels.

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.

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.

The electric car mantra diverts attention from what really matters a cost effective transition from fossil fuels to cheaper green energy, which requires research and innovation.

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.

Wind energy is now competitive with conventional power plants, while rising gas and coal prices and the steady decline in renewable energy costs imply that, within a few years, fossil fuels will be even less attractive.

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.

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.

Given that fossil fuels contribute to global warming, standard economic theory suggests we should tax them according to their cumulative negative effects.

There have been a wide range of techniques used to spin a turbine's rotor, from steam heated using fossil fuel (including coal, gas and oil) or nuclear energy, falling water (hydroelectric power) and wind (wind power).

It has the power, potentially, to replace our fossil fuels, to revolutionize medicine, and to touch every aspect of our daily lives.

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

The target should be full elimination of all fossil fuel subsidies by 2020.

PRAGUE Many today believe that renewable energy will let us get off fossil fuels soon.

When green renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels, they will take over the world.

(2008), Wastewaters from fossil fuel refining, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides are the main sources of phenolic compounds.
