Why collaboration using a blog benefits everyone!

Please read the folowing comments to understand my reasons for using this collaborative tool and why it should benefit everyone including the top students of the chemistry cohort.

LNG is the energy of the future!

LNG which is essentially compressed methane is reported to be the fossil fuel with the lowest carbon footprint. Compare and contrast the processes involved in producing energy from LNG and a fossil fuel, particularly with respect to the carbon footprint.

Is LNG the next step towards a carbon neutral future?

In Australia, clean coal is a practical solution to providing energy and reducing greenhouse gases.

Discuss the composition of coal and the processes involved in generating electricity in a coal-fired power station. Discuss the term "clean coal technologies" as applied to processes that reduce greenhouse gases.

In Australia, clean coal is a practical solution to providing energy and reducing greenhouse gases.

Ethanol should be used as a partial replacement for petrol!

Discuss the combustion properties of ethanol blends and petrol in car engines. Discuss the impact of each on the Carbon cycle.

Ethanol should be used as a partial replacement for petrol!

My first car should be a hybrid!

Hybrid cars are gaining increasing acceptance. Discuss the processes for producing energy in hybrid cars. Should my first car be a hybrid?

Is hydrogen is the fuel of the future?

Discuss methods of obtaining hydrogen and its use in fuel cells. Is hydrogen the fuel of the future?

Nuclear Reactors are the answer to global warming

Compare and contrast the processes involved in generating electricity from burning fossil fuels or from nuclear reactors. Are nuclear reactors the answer to global warming?
