The Problem with Burning Fuels
2
Carbon Dioxide Sulphur Dioxide Oxides of
Nitrogen
SOx and NOx
3
Global Warming
4
Acid Rain
5
It is possible ( but expensive ) to take most of
the sulphur out of fuels before they are burned
It is possible to remove most of the sulphur
dioxide from the smoke after the fuel is burned
6
We are running out of oil. What will we do when
it runs out?
7
Alternative Fuels?
Hydrogen Hydrogen Water ? Water
8
To make hydrogen we need Water Electricity Is
it really a clean fuel?
9
Ethanol otherwise known as alcohol
We can make ethanol by fermenting corn
10
Burning ethanol still produces carbon dioxide but
.
Overall we would not be adding to the amount of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
11
Biodiesel
This is another carbon neutral fuel.
12
What gas from burning fuels causes global
warming? Why is global warming a problem? (2
reasons) What gas from burning dirty fuels causes
acid rain? Why is acid rain a problem? How can we
reduce the amount of acid rain? Fossil fuels are
non-renewable. What does this mean? Why is this
a big problem? Write a word equation for burning
hydrogen in air Where could we get lots of
hydrogen from? Where could we get lots of ethanol
from? Why is ethanol a carbon neutral
fuel? Name another carbon neutral fuel.
