Apr 15, 2008In seventh grade we all learned about greenhouse gasses. Anyone with a ninth grade education understands that our burning of fossil fuel releases loads of CO2. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that traps heat. The CO2 levels have risen dramatically since we began using fossil fuels in the industrial revolution. The average temp is steadily going up.

One important aspect of the fossil fuels is the heating value of the fuel, which is measured as the amount of heat energy produced by the complete combustion of a unit quantity of the fuel. For solid fuels and usually for liquid fuels the heating value is quoted for mass, whereas for gaseous fuels the heating value is quoted for volume.

Fuels and fuel chemistry A fuel is any compound that has stored energy. This energy is captured in chemical bonds through processes such as photosynthesis and respiration. Energy is released during oxidation. The most common form of oxidation is the direct reaction of a fuel with oxygen through combustion.
