consider the following statement about exhaustion of natural resources 1. crude oil resources will last 50 years more 2. oil extraction is undertaken by middle east region at a very fast pase 3. non conventional fuel sources should be encouraged to reduce use of crude oil. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT GIVES AN IDEA OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT? a) only 2 b) Only 1 and 2 c) only 1 d) only 3
Answers
The option B is the correct answer
Answer:
d) only 3GIVES AN IDEA OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Explanation:
1. crude oil resources will last 50 years more
2. oil extraction is undertaken by middle east region at a very fast pase . 3.non conventional fuel sources should be encouraged to reduce use of crude oil.
1. Conventional oil production will play an important role in the global energy mix for decades to come. Conventional onshore oil production will decline 1.4% per year on average until 2050, but will still account for more than 50% of all oil production by then. Crude oil has widely uses in the world, such as from fossil fuel to plastic. ... Due to by these two ways to use crude oil is gone forever.
It is predicted that we will run out of fossil fuels in this century. Oil can last up to 50 years, natural gas up to 53 years, and coal up to 114 years. Yet, renewable energy is not popular enough, so emptying our reserves can speed up.
2.On land, oil can be drilled with an apparatus called an oil rig or drilling rig. Offshore, oil is drilled from an oil platform. Most modern wells use an air rotary drilling rig, which can operate 24 hours a day. In this process, engines power a drill bit.It'll take about 10 million years before its ready.” Even the most inhospitable locations are being made drill-friendly. A decade ago, oil was discovered in just over 200 feet of water off the coast of Newfoundland. Because icebergs flow through the area, no ordinary oil platform would work.
Turning crude oil into refined gasoline
Generally, every 30,000-barrel batch takes around 12 to 24 hours to undergo through analytical testing and pass quality control. A key stage is ultra-heating the crude to boiling point, with a distillation column used to separate the liquids and gases.
3. Most of the Non-conventional Power resources are cheaper and renewable as compared to conventional source.Solar energy,wind energy are much cheaper than fuel,coal etc.
Scarcity of Fossil Fuels: The overall limitation and scarcity of fossil fuels has given rise to the urgent need for exploiting alternative energy source.
