1 BEN BARENDRECHT, PATRICK KAP, JORIS VOOGT FOSSIL FUELS

2 WHAT ARE FOSSIL FUELS? Oil Gas Coal Energy rich carbohydraat molecules

3 HOW ARE THEY FORMED? Plants and animals die. Their remains stay behind Over time they get covered with large amount of stone and sand Under the influence of pressure a chemical reaction takes place which changes the remains in usable forms of carbohydrates f.e. C6O6H12 -> CH4 + …..

4 WHERE ARE THEY MOST COMMENLY FOUND?

7 HOW DO WE GET THEM OUT OF THE GROUND? Coal Large open area mines Mineshafts Oil Oil platforms Pumpjacks Gas Gas platforms Drilling rigs

8 HOW DO WE DRAW ENERGY FROM THEM? (OIL) Oil is boiled Creating different layers. Used for machines and production process for medicines and chemical goods

9 HOW DO WE DRAW ENERGY FROM THEM? (COAL) Mainly produces heat and electricity When burned it produces steam Producing electricity

10 HOW DO WE DRAW ENERGY FROM THEM? (COAL) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeXG8K5_UvU& feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeXG8K5_UvU& feature=player_embedded

11 HOW DO WE DRAW ENERGY FROM THEM? (GAS) Energy taken with gas turbines By rotating a dynamo Cleaner than other FF fuels is the best domestic heating fuel

12 FOSSIL FUEL USAGE 87.67 % of the total energy consumption in 2012 is being produced by fossil fuels 2006 - Fossil fuel consumption of total energy consumption per country America 85.6% Netherlands 92.5% Belgium 74.1% Germany 81.6 % Sweden 33.4% Switzerland 53.9%

13 FORECAST(DEPLETION) Proved reserves 2005 – 2007 Coal: 905 billion metric tonnes left. Oil: 1119 billion barrels to 1317 billion barrels left. Gas: 175 – 181 trillion cubic metres left. Daily production 2006 Coal: 16,761,260 metric tonnes. Oil: 84,000,000 barrels. Gas: 2960 billion cubic metres.

14 FORECAST(DEPLETION) For how long do we still have fossil fuels? Using the information given on the previous dia Coal: 148 years Oil: 43 years Natural gas: 61 years Most optimistic guess Coal: 417 years Oil: 43 years Natural gas: 167 years

15 FOSSIL FUEL USAGE (FUTURE) What to consider Population growth Economy Technology Renewable energy Depletion numbers of fossil fuels

16 HOW DO WE GET THE MOST OUT OF THE REMAINING QUANTITIES? Use more renewable energy New inventions Save energy yourself!

17 PRO’S OF FOSSIL FUELS Very large amounts of electricity can be generated in one place using coal, fairly cheaply. You can build fossil-fuelled power stations almost anywhere, as long as you can transport the fuel to the power station. The transportation of gas and oil to power stations is easy.

18 CON’S OF FOSSIL FUELS Pollution (carbon dioxide and acid rain) Not renewable on short terms Large area’s of landscape are ruined because of mining and landscape is needed to store coal near the power stations

19 CONCLUSION Right now, we can’t live without fossil fuels Preserve fossil fuels We need to change our energy production
