The issue : Global warming (Benzene 2C6H6)

Figure (1) Different ways to create carbon and how it affects the environment.

Combustion (O2) is a process that involves benzene.
2 C6H6(l) + 15 O2(g) ---> 12 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(g)
Benzene is used as a fuel for cars, it has some problem with the environment. As seen in Figure (1) and the balanced equation that the process of making Benzene makes lots of carbon (gas) which damages the environment because it makes “greenhouse gases” trapped in the atmosphere, they have more time to collect heat from the sun. Therefore, makes the climate in heat which the ice caps will melt and the floods occur (global warming).
People knows what burning Benzene can cause to the environment, however they still use it

For example, simple force of water takes a lot of energy.

When we use fuel cells, it has to require catalysts which usually have platinum which is rare to find, harm the environment and expensive.

We have a lack of techniques that can take out Hydrogen and store it efficiently.

To storage Hydrogen is really hard because Hydrogen is a low density gas.

Hydrogen catches fire, if an oxidizer like oxygen is nearby. It catches fire more easily than petrol or benzene and it could also be an explosive. so there should not be oxygen in the hydrogen tanks.

Oxygen is invisible gas, also hydrogen. Which means if it does catch fire, the flames would be almost impossible to be recognized.

Fighting fire is hard. However, hydrogen combustion is even harder to fight. Hydrogen is not a poisonous gas but if it went inside a closed car, you would not recognize and eventually die after choking because you breathed only hydrogen for a certain

He found out that the hydrogen economy shows that the high energy losses definitely is caused by laws of physics which means that the hydrogen economy would never make sense.

We all know that hydrogen is non-toxic, burns to water, is abundant in the world. However the problem is not in Hydrogen, its the production of hydrogen depends on the water and energy. The water is recycled but the energy is rare and may become political issues, which oil and natural gas are.

In addition, the fossil fuel energy is used for transportation will have to go to hydrogen. It splits from water by electricity which means , the electric power generation capacity in the country will have to make it twice as much as for transportation. After that, it will all have to convert from fossil fuels to renewable sources. and only at that point , the carbon which comes out of transportation in general to the atmosphere will then stop.

Germany and Canada are building water splitter

    In this article, Jadhav et al. propose the chemical recycling of CO2 as a practical technique to generate methane, which has great demand in the chemical and energy industries. Economically, CO2 is inexpensive as it is obtained from any industrial or natural sources and human activities. The production of methane from the hydrogenation of CO2 can indeed substitute natural gas and petroleum oil since it provides an unrestricted and renewable source for fuels, hydrocarbons, and energy as well as the possibility to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.…

    In recent decades, scientists have confirmed that the burning of fossil fuels has led to an increase in the Earth's temperature that eventually could render the planet uninhabitable. When fossil fuels are burned, they release greenhouse gasses that over the years, have slowly caused the Earth's climate to change. The harmful effects of climate change have caused rising sea levels, an increase in extreme and destructive weather such as hurricanes, a dramatic drop in crop yields, and the extinction of certain species and endangerment of many others. It is vital to find cleaner alternatives to these fuels and instances such as the company British Petroleum spilling millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 is only destroying our…

    Why would you choose to mine THIS for a power resource? Why would you choose something that destroys ecosystems and pollutes the air over a cleaner energy source like wind power, solar power or hydroelectric power? Imagine you’re walking past a giant open field, would you rather see a black dusty machine filled smoky hole in the earth or a nice row of pretty white wind mills and solar panels on the houses? Not only does the second choice look better, but it doesn’t leave much of an impact, but coal does (a very huge impact).…

    Energy is an essential resource in everyday life. Our world revolves around energy and without it we wouldn’t be able to live. Our main source of energy is indeed fossil fuels but slowly they are becoming more and more limited. With fossil fuels once they are gone and used, they are gone forever. We burn these fossil fuels to receive fuel for planes, cars and powers electricity plants supporting large industries.…

    As the global concern for the environment increases with time, the desire to use cars decreases. People are aware that cars release fumes which, when combined, can be detrimental for the environment, and they want to do something about it. Elisabeth Rosenthal writes in her New York Times article, “In German Suburb, Life Goes on Without Cars”, that up to fifty percent of environmental greenhouse gas pollution comes from the cars driven in American suburbs. In her article, she quotes David Goldberg, an official of Transportation for America, that “All of our [the U.S.A.’s] development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change”. It seems like America, and the rest of the world, is becoming more aware about what…

    Fossil fuels (oil, gas, and coal) have been the pillar of our modern society since the Industrial Revolution. There is no further doubt that fossil fuels have a high density of energy and they are the world’s dominant energy source. Even though these non-renewable resources have a variety of applications like fuel for transportation, electricity, plastic, medicine, and chemicals, they are also the largest emitters of carbon dioxide which causes human health and environmental issues. Every economic aspect the United States depends completely on these fossil fuels. An effective way to address the United States’ fossil fuel dependency is by relying on renewable sources of energy, learning how to conserve energy, recycling and reusing products…

    Thesis: Our energy comes predominantly from fossil fuels because of it’s supposed inexpensiveness. However, the cost of fossil fuels in terms of human lives is often ignored. Nuclear power, on the other hand, is a much safer alternative because it results in fewer deaths per unit of energy produced than coal and natural gas. By comparing their outputs in terms of energy produced per unit of fuel consumed, and comparing that with the amount of byproducts produced as well as the amount of deaths associated with both energy sources we can analyse their relative harmfulness.…

    Fossil fuels may give us the energy we need, but they are also choking us off as well. Carbon monoxide is well known for causing global warming, but there are other byproducts that are equally as bad. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists there are “two oxides of nitrogen--nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide--are formed in combustion” (Air Pollution). Nitrogen oxides can appear as a yellowish brown clouds hovering over many cities. They have been found to cause irritated lungs, bronchitis, and pneumonia.…
