Not exact matches
Natural gas is a fossil fuel —
like oil and
coal — and it does produce carbon dioxide as a result of the
combustion process.
Argan contains essential fatty acids and provides a great dark pigment alternative to artificial dyes
like Coal Tar and Carbon Black which are formed during petroleum
combustion.
I am all for making fossil fuels cleaner, and much work has already been done to make various fossil fuel devices (
coal - fired power stations, internal
combustion engines, etc) emit less pollution
like NOx, SOx, Hg, Pb, and particulates.
Gasifying the
coal and capturing the CO2 before
combustion was not an option; that would have required an entirely new plant
like Kemper.
This strategy could help policy makers overcome a fundamental conflict in the debate over global warming: carbon dioxide, the main heat - trapping gas in the air, is an unavoidable byproduct of burning fossil fuels
like coal and oil — and
combustion of fossil fuels is the foundation of industrial societies.
Fossil Fuel is a generic term that isn't quite correct Natural Gasoline is a distilled derivative of oil but almost all ofit is manufactured from cracked and recombined oil derivativeswhile natural gasoline is further refined intoPropane, butane, Proproline (a plastics feed stock), and Natural gasand also separates out sulfur (for fertilizer and explosives) Gasoline can be made from
coal («Coaline») or from organic matter («Bio-fuel») but uses a few of oil based feed stocks instead tomake «Sythiline» (artificial gasoline) This gasoline is actually cleaner burning then natural gas with allit's «flare offs» (butane, propane, propoline, sulfur) used in theearly 19th century because it is manufactured only with essentialHydrocarbons Diesel fuel is also becoming more and more Manufactured instead ofdistilled as demand for it rises but improvements in Hydro cleaningis allowing for diesel with no volatile chemicals
like sulfur andmercury (taken out for petro - chemical feedstock to make fertilizerand thermometers) In both cases what you have is pure hydro - carbons, a carbon atomwith hydrogen atoms attached to it In the case of gasoline there is CH1, cH7, CH11 When in a
combustion engine the gasoline is sprayed into the pistonafter being mixed with air and the drive of the engine compressesthe the chamber filled with the gasoline mist until it's full downstoke then the spark plug causes the Exothermic reaction... which isthe conversion of the potential energy in the gasoline mist to heatand force, with the force side of that equation shooting the pistonupward and the top of the stroke kicking what's left of thecaramelized gasoline mist out into the Emission control box If the Emulsion control box wasn't there to filter out the burntgasoline particles, any potential additives and volatile chemicalsthen the caramelized gunk hitting air would create CARBON MONOXIDEin the cooler then the heat of the engine difference CARBON MONOXIDE can also become a problem if the Emissions controlBox filter, air filters or muffler filters is worn or damaged.
A drive to work, a flip of a light switch and a flight out of town all rely on the
combustion of fossil fuels
like oil,
coal and gas.
