In the early 1900s, gasoline and diesel, derived from coal and other hydrocarbon sources were the only fuels that were in use. However, our attitudes have changed. Nowadays we are more aware than before that, by the using these fuels in our cars, they harm not only the planet, but also our health
This article tracks the evolution of fuels rom steam to gasoline to modern alternatives and provides context on technological shifts in fuel use.
Most fuels are hydrocarbons, or a mix of hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are molecules that are made only of hydrogen and carbon. When hydrocarbons react with oxygen, they produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
Hydrocarbons, which are organic compounds made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms, are the fundamental components of fossil fuels, and therefore widely viewed by the climate action community as detrimental to the Earth. But contrary to popular belief hydrocarbons are not inherently bad. Humans are made of hydrocarbons.
Ever wondered what makes our modern world tick? It's the humble hydrocarbon, a powerful energy source that drives our daily lives. From the gasoline that fuels our cars to the plastics that make our daily essentials, hydrocarbons play a vital role in keeping our world moving. But what exactly is hiding in these complex molecules that give them such remarkable properties? In this video, we'll delve into the fascinating world of hydrocarbons, exploring their composition, uses, and impact on our environment. Join us as we uncover the secrets behind these energy-rich compounds and discover how they power our daily lives.
The science behind clean Hydrocarbons.
Hydrocarbon resources are resources that contain hydrocarbon molecules which means it consists both hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbon resources are often known as fossil fuels (natural gas, oil, and coal) since hydrocarbons are the primary constituent in these
Examine the environmental, economic and sociocultural implications of obtaining and using hydrocarbons from the Earth.
