Methyl mercury is formed in the ocean from mercury created by the burning of fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal in automobiles and power plants.

Fossil fuels

People who sell us fossil fuels.

Irasionalitas Bahan Bakar Fosil

Powered by fossil fuel derived energy.

We're very hungry for fossil fuels too.

Testing the Limits of Fossil Fuels

Lignite is a fossil fuel.

(c) Improving the conversion efficiency of fossil fuel combustion

People who sell us fossil fuels.

Biofuels offer some 60 per cent carbon dioxide saving on their fossil fuel equivalents.

CA But natural gas is a fossil fuel.

Modern cities are fossil fuel dependent.

What we are doing globally is causing climate change as much as, I believe, fossil fuels, and maybe more than fossil fuels.

Biofuels. Liquid biofuels are renewable transport fuels made from plant materials.

Divest in a Better Future

Modern cities are fossil fuel dependent.

A transition from fossil fuels would be a monumental challenge.

And all the burning of oil and coal and gas, all the fossil fuels, have changed the atmosphere greatly.

The global food supply relies heavily on fossil fuels.

Modern agriculture uses land to turn fossil fuels into food

And all the burning of oil and coal and gas, all the fossil fuels, have changed the atmosphere greatly.

What we are doing globally is causing climate change as much as, I believe, fossil fuels, and maybe more than fossil fuels.

Chemicals derived from fossil fuels, or Petro chemicals, are essential in the manufacture of countless products.

CA So how does the world get off fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels are not available, and solar energy doesn't cook the way that they like their food prepared.

About half of the Parties considered switching to cleaner fuels, such as low sulphur fuels and LPG, from coal.

Carbon dioxide is a gas that is produced every time a fuel such as coal, oil, or natural gas is burned.

But instead of placing a rising fee on carbon emissions to make fossil fuels pay their true cost to society, our governments are forcing the public to subsidize fossil fuels by 400 to 500 billion dollars per year worldwide, thus encouraging extraction of every fossil fuel mountaintop removal, longwall mining, fracking, tar sands, tar shale, deep ocean Arctic drilling.

About 80 per cent of world primary energy is supplied from fossil fuels, a finite resource.

Combustion of fossil and biomass fuels produces a number of different airborne pollutants that have impacts at different spatial scales.

But fossil fuels, carbon coal and gas are by no means the only thing that is causing climate change.

One unit like this is an energy unit of fossil fuel oil, coal or gas.

But energy policies continued to focus on finding more fossil fuels.

As most power is generated from fossil fuels, this is not a solution.

Fossil fuel thermal and nuclear power plants require large quantities of cooling water to operate, and fish and other aquatic life are often killed when these plants remove water from a lake or river or raise its temperature.

But fossil fuels carbon, coal and gas are by no means the only thing that is causing climate change.

The challenge is to enable freedom of mobility while reducing the consumption of fossil fuels.

Conventional farmers use chemical fertilizers made from fossil fuels that they mix with the dirt to make plants grow.

Further, UNIDO applies a systems based approach aimed at optimizing the efficiency of factory level energy systems based on electricity, gas and other fuels.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) Fuel combustion

First, increased reliance on fossil fuels runs contrary to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol s targets for reducing carbon emissions, as well as to the EU s own climate change objectives. Moreover, fossil fuel costs fluctuate wildly with oil prices, and the centralized nature of nuclear and coal fired power stations creates distribution problems.

The company recently published a long, defensive blog post responding to what it described as a full throated endorsement of fossil fuel divestment by Mary Robinson, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki moon s special envoy for climate change. The fossil fuel industry clearly sees the divestment movement as the political threat that it is.

Moreover, fossil fuels, the largest single source of world energy, will eventually run out.

Fossil fuels are needed for farming equipment, transportation, refrigeration, packaging in plastic, and cooking.
