Fig. B.4 (after Davidson and Keeley [5]) shows values of A plotted against thermal efficiency for a high carbon fuel (coal) and a lower carbon fuel (natural gas). It illustrates that one obvious route towards a desired low production of this greenhouse gas is to seek high thermal efficiency (another is to use lower carbon fuel).

More than 60 percent of natural gas physically consumed in the course of a year is nevertheless attributable to purchases at lower, interruptible prices by industrial boilcr-fucl users and electrical generators that are capable of substituting natural gas in off-peak months, when gas is available at prices competitive with those of black fuels (coal and heavy fuel oil). In addition to these relatively low-value, pricc-scnsitivc industrial gas uses is a wide range of intermediate-value demand categories for natural gas, such as in process and feedstock use. 

Heavy oil may also be displaced by coal, natural gas (in relatively good supply in Canada imtil about the year 2000) and electricity. Interfuel substitution of heavy oil by solid fuels - coal and wood - is estimated to have a potential to replace about 2% of the liquid fuel consumption of Ontario (or about 10% of the heavy oil consumption). Additional refining costs would be incurred in converting the heavy oil to gasoline. 

The last report of Maillard (21) is rather a review in nature, with more than 50 references. The chemical natures not only of humus in soil but also of mineral fuel (coal) and browning in food material were discussed, especially in relation to the presence of nitrogen in browned products, which was inferred to be derived from amino acids (and related nitrogenous materials) used for synthetic "melanoidins". 

China alone will contribute a quarter of the increase in C02 emissions or 3.6 billion tons, bringing its total emissions to 6.7 billion tons per year in 2030. However, Chinese emissions will still be well below those of the USA. A projected increase in fossil fuel consumption is largely responsible for fast-paced growth in C02 emissions. Of the fossil fuels, coal and oil account currently for the major part of the total energy-related C02 emissions. Factors such as population growth, rising personal incomes, improved standards of living, and further industrialization are expected to have a...

Fuels. Carbon and hydrogen are the principal constituents of the solid fuels coal and wood. Coal has been formed in nature by the slow decomposition of vegetable matter, in the piesence. of water and absence of air. Coal consists of free carbon mixed with various carbon compounds and some mineral matter. Anthracite coal (hard coal)...

On cooling the gas phase some gas components condense and thus lead to the formation of deposits in the boiler. Table 7.9 shows the composition of the condensed phases and the residual waste gas. The change in concentration of the main gas components is low on rapid cooling from 1600 to 700 °C. The condensed phases mainly consist of compounds of K and Na with Cl, P, and S. The low-melting sulfates, phosphates, and chlorides form first a liquid layer where solid dust particles can be deposited by sticking. The composition of the input fuel (coal, and waste material) besides the temperature and O2 partial pressure in the combustion chamber, determine...

But where there was life, the fossil remains of these pigments are still to be found. Deep underground, the geological processes which gradually changed dead plant and animal matter into the fossil fuels, coal and oil, also converted the green chlorophyll into red petroporphyrins. Geologists use these as chemical markers in their quest for new reserves of oil. 

More than 90% of SO2 emission is related to the combustion of fossils fuels (coal and oil with an approximate share of two-thirds and one-third, respeetively), primarily metal smelting (Cu, Zn, Mn, and Ni) and sulfuric acid production (only in the past). Since 1980, flue gas desulfurization has been introduced stepwise with different degrees in industrialized countries. FDG works with an efficiency of about 95% hence the country-based SO2 emission can be reduced by about one order of magnitude as has occurred in Germany after instalment of FGD at all large SO2 sources (Fig. 2.53). Germany probably remains an extreme example of changing...

Fossil Fuels. Coal and petroleum are the remnants of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. 

Ceramic Products of the Industrial Revolution Another turning point in civilisation was the Industrial Revolution, which began around 200 years ago in England. One of its distinct features was the extensive combustion of fossil fuels (coal, and later gas and oil) for the generation of heat and steam (and electricity). Another indicator was the mass production of steel and steel tools for the creation in turn of more machines and tools, which thus became widely available. A fundamental role in the Industrial Revolution was played by metals, especially steel.
