    Earth Materials and Resources - Energy Resources

    Uploaded by

    Crysse Partisala
    This document discusses energy resources and fossil fuel formation. It provides an overview of renewable and non-renewable energy sources including coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass and geothermal. It then focuses on fossil fuels, describing how they are formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient organisms. The major types of fossil fuels - coal, oil and natural gas - are examined in more detail. Finally, it considers how geothermal energy can be tapped from the earth's interior as another energy source.

    REFLECTION QUESTION
    “How important is energy to the
    advancement of society and how
    do we ensure self-sufficiency for
    the current and future
    generations.”
    FOSSIL FUEL
    What is fossil fuel?
     Fossil fuels are fuels formed by natural
    processes such as anaerobic decomposition of
    buried dead organisms.

     The age of the organisms and their resulting


    fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and
    sometimes exceeds 650 million years.

     Fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon


    and include coal, petroleum and natural gas.
    Figure 1. Pump jacks are used to extract one type of
    fossil fuel - oil - that takes millions of years to form

    What is fossil fuel formation?

    Fossil fuel formation refers to the


    process that takes place over the
    time span of hundreds of millions of
    years to produce a variety of fossil
    fuels.
    What is a Coal?
     A combustible black or brownish-black
    sedimentary rock usually occurring in
    rock strata in layers or viens called coal
    beds or coal seams.

     It is composed primarily of CARBON


    along with variable quantities of other
    elements, HYDROGEN, SURFUR,
    OXYGEN, NITROGEN
    TYPES OF COAL
    1) Anthracite 86-98% carbon and 8-3% volatile
    matter. (heat homes)
    2.Bituminous coal 70-86% carbon and 46-
    31% volatile matter (metallurgy)
    3.Sub-bituminous coal 70-76% carbon and
    53-42% volatile matter (industrial boilers)
    4) Lignite 65-70% carbon and 63-53%
    volatile matter(low grade fuel with high
    moisture content)
    5) Peat partially decomposed vegetation. Less
    than 60% carbon and composed entirely of
    volatile matter
