H20 = get a life
Drilling companies drill vertically down to the desired distance, and drill horizontally into the shale. They then use hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to loosen up the rock enough to get the gas out.
do you mean "If coal were inexhaustible how is it harnessed for energy?" First, it is not inexhaustible; every bit of coal that is burned adds to the pollution burden of the atmosphere. Second, coal, whether inexhaustible or not, is harnesses for energy the way it always has been. It is burned to boil water to make steam. The steam drives a turbine, which turns a generator which produces electricity.+++I'm afraid the second sentence introduces a non-sequiteur. Coal can be burnt cleanly but its combustion products still include carbon-dioxide. However any polluting effect has nothing to do with being inexhaustible or not. SO to answer the question, coal could not be inexhaustible - it is a finite resource - and it can be harnessed only by burning it to release its potential heat energy as the last sentence details. Coal can also be distilled to give coke, gas and various chemical products.
When you burn the gas, it explodes, and creates energy.
It makes the transportation of the raw materials easier. Much better to construct a bio-plant in the middle of the countryside - where it's surrounded by bio-mass, than build it in a town or city - miles away from the raw materials.
the bio gas that the algae produce is the energy source.
Biogas from landfill waste has been harnessed in sites around the world.
Yes. Because gas is a natural resource and oil is too.
by utilizing it in more productive means
California's energy resources include natural gas, solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, and biomass. Natural gas is formed from decomposed organic material in the Earth's crust, while solar energy is harnessed from the sun, wind energy from moving air currents, geothermal energy from heat within the Earth, hydroelectric energy from flowing water, and biomass energy from organic matter like plants and waste.
Geothermal energy is harnessed by tapping into hot rock and water reservoirs beneath the Earth's surface. This heat is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity. The process is sustainable and emits very low greenhouse gas emissions.
uses of natural gas:- 1.The energy in the natural gas can be harnessed to heat water 2.It is mainly used to light streetlamps 3.It is used as a fuel
Compressed energy refers to energy that is stored in a compressed form, such as in compressed air tanks or compressed natural gas tanks. This energy can be released and harnessed for various purposes, such as powering vehicles or machinery.
Solar energy is a renewable energy source that comes from the sun and can be converted into electricity or used for heating and lighting purposes. It is abundant, clean, and sustainable, making it an important alternative to traditional fossil fuels for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change. Solar energy can be harnessed through solar panels that capture sunlight and convert it into usable energy.
Both nuclear energy and wind energy are sources of clean, renewable energy that do not produce greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, they both provide a reliable source of electricity when harnessed effectively.
Chemical energy can be found in substances such as food, gasoline, batteries, and natural gas. When these substances undergo chemical reactions, they release energy that can be harnessed for various purposes.
Wind energy is harnessed to produce renewable electricity. This replaces non-renewable electricity from greenhouse-gas-polluting fossil fuel power stations.
