ENERGY FROM FOSSIL FUELS

It is the energy associated with the use of coal, oil and natural gas.

The form of energy that have fossil fuels is internal energy, which we can take advantage from combustion reactions.

It can transform into what usually is called thermal (heat) energy, electrical energy, kinetic energy (through internal combustion engines), etc. It is used in many industrial and domestic applications.

ADVANTAGES
or ease of extraction
or well developed technology
or as well as source of energy in the processes of separation, provide raw materials for the chemical industry, medicine, food...

DISADVANTAGES
or non-renewable. It is estimated that, at the current consumption rate, the reserves will be exhausted in less than 100 years.
or expensive transport
or difficult storage
or causes serious environmental problems: effect greenhouse, acid rain...
or is a waste used to burn materials that are raw materials for the chemical industry, medicine, food, etc.

Virgin Islands Reduces The Use of Fossil Fuel

On this occasion, another American location joins the change, with a project that will be completed effectively within a few years, but that will take a progressive investment with permanent revenue stage.

The Government of the Virgin Islands has been working in conjunction with NREL (for its acronym in English, National renewable energy laboratory) in a strategic plan that will reduce the consumption of fossil fuels by up to 60% setting as term limit the year 2025, which will include measures aimed at the development of Clean energy in addition to increasing the performance of the same.

Currently, as well as other islands, is much depends the Energy import, so the shift towards renewable energies not only has environmental, but also an economic purpose to the inhabitants of the area.

Planning takes big investments that switch on exploitation of different renewable energy sources, establishing a strategy that includes the following:

2% of Biomass energy3% of Landfill gas (Biogas) 3% of Solar energy6% Wind energy8% of Waste energy38% improvement in Energy efficiency

THE FOSSIL FUEL ENERGY

It is the energy associated with the use of coal, natural gas and oil.

Energy that possess fossil fuels is internal energy that we can take advantage of combustion reactions.

You can transform into what is usually called thermal energy (heating, electricity, kinetic energy (by means of internal combustion engines), etc. It is used in a multitude of domestic and industrial applications.
