Which is being developed by chemists to supplement fossil fuels?
biodiesel
Is it possible to never use fossil fuels?
We'll found out when they run out. But new energy sources are being developed more fully, ie. solar and wind.
IF more fuels are being made why is fossil fuels called Non-renewable?
New fuels are being made, like ethanol, which can be made from biomass, a quickly growing vegetation. These fuels are usually called renewable.Fossil fuels take millions of years to form, so they are called non-renewable.
When were fossil fuels heavily developed?
In the 18th century.
How long will it take for all of the petroleum based fuels to be depleted?
Unknown, because they are constantly finding new fossil fuels and new ways to get at the fuels. Additionally, new technologies have been developed that can extract more fuel from previously depleted fossil fuel fields. An example is the 2 newly discovered oil fields in the continental United States that are huge.
Why are new biofuels being made?
bio fuels are being made because the reserves of fossil fuels are running out. fossil fuels take millions of years to form, if we run out, we need to find an alternative fuel in which to run our vehicles on. bio fuels are non fossil fuels and are not limited, also, the gas they emit is less harmful than that emitted by diesel and petrol. algae, for example, is being made into a bio fuel as it can easily be grown as you have seen (if you are in the UK) in adverts on the TV, and of other bio fuels
What technology was developed after1995?
New technologies are constantly being developed. It is frequently difficult to see these as "new technology", as new technologies almost always are based off of previously existing technology, which are seen more of as improvement over being new.
Why do you need to develop other fuels besides fossil fuels?
Other fuels must be developed asFossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are damaging the atmosphere and causing global warmingFossil fuels won't last for ever, and will eventually run out.
New methods using bacteria fungi and plants are being developed to extract copper suggest three reasons why these new methods have been developed?
it will be cheaper ?
What developed fossil fuels?
Ancient plants that have decayed into liquid carbon, in a nutshell.
Explain why fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources.?
No new fossils to form new fuels. What there is is what there is- when it is gone, it is gone.
Are fossil fuels like coal and oil considered biomass?
Biomass fuels are meant to mimic or replace the functions of fossil fuels. The Department of Energy defines biomass as "any plant derived organic matter available on a renewable basis." These organic matter consist of products such as wood, crops, alcohol fuels, landfill gas, agricultural waste and residues, and garbage. Biomass fuels are just beginning to be developed and their potential is still being cultivated.
