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.

The collusive behaviour distorted competition in the fuel market to the detriment of the end customer who bought fuel from filling stations.

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.
