11:25 PM Substitutes for the Oil |
Nuclear energy, wind power, solar energy … and now the hydrogen. Seasonally the media raise this topic as if the world that looking for substitutes for the oil is about to access his calling. So why this search for substitutes for the oil? And is there any substitutes for the foreseeable future? The world is at the greatest threat today to the sovereignty of oil that there is a high risk of depletion the black gold. Many of geological had forecast that oil production started going downhill. Moreover, the available substitutes cannot replace oil and oil production access to reach a climax and going downhill resulting in economic disaster for the sophisticated industries. The substitutes who can replace oil environmentally as a source of renewable and clean energy is:- Solar energyit is an important future source for energy production, especially in sunlight richer countries. Wind powerThose enjoyed by some regions but its production is low because the right wind speed and direction are difficult to find throughout the year. But the energy produced is clean and medium cost. HydroelectricityWater power used to electricity production but the energy produced now did not account for a large proportion of the total current consumption of energy in the world to the reluctance many companies investing in this energy. Nuclear energyThere is a large civil concern about production this energy by disasters that occurred in the Chernobyl and other countries and reports published on companies' abuse that provided this energy and neglected safety issues. Natural gasNatural gas has to be commended are often as a substitute for clean energy because it burns more cleanly than other fossil fuels as it releasing less harmful than Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide. Biofuels(Ethanol) mined in fast-growing greenery and no nutritional important such as Jatropha and Jojoba or from sugar cane or from Vegetable oil or from Grains (corn) or rice straw, sawdust, water algae, and animal waste, in various way, including (Combustion - distillation - gasification - fermentation - thermal solution). Ocean energyIt used in three ways:
HydrogenCan be use hydrogen to transportation, there are empirical models of cars run on hydrogen. Illustrated above that the energy-consuming major powers monitoring the tremendous possible material in an attempt to find substitutes for the oil for two reasons: Second reason: supply security. Consumer industrialized states shall endeavor to enhance the security of the arrival of its oil supplies from points of production to uninterrupted their consumer areas and it is trying to reduce its dependence on oil as a primary source for reducing the risk of failure. |
