Heating value of 15,000 BTU
6.
1 point
Compressor stations on a pipeline are usually 5 to 10 miles apart from each other.
7.
1 point
A compressor increases the pressure in a pipeline which make it easier to transport natural gas.
8.
1 point
The major use of natural gas is for heating.
9.
1 point
Carbon atoms naturally cycle through living organisms, the atmosphere, the oceans, and the Earth's crust through a process known as the _________.
10.
1 point
About 90% of natural gas contains methane. The other 30% contains propane and butane.
11.
1 point
Developing the infrastructure for CO2 pipelines is a relatively inexpensive process.
12.
1 point
Once a natural gas well is drilled, that gas has to be put into a pipeline to be used. There is no way to store natural gas.
13.
1 point
________ remove about 98% of the sulfur dioxide at coal-fired power plants.
14.
1 point
The United States produces more petroleum than it consumes (uses).
15.
1 point
There are about 258 billion tons of coal reserves in the United States. If we can continue to use coal at the current rate, we will have enough to last 170 to 240 years, depending on consumption rates.
16.
1 point
Contains 25-35 percent carbon
Heating value of 4,000 - 8,300 BTU
17.
1 point
Fracking is short for fracturing - the process of fracturing the subsurface of the earth to release natural gas or other fossil fuels.
18.
1 point
The coal industry’s biggest environmental challenge is to remove organic sulfur.
19.
1 point
Petroleum was formed from the remains of tiny sea plants and animals that died less than 100 years ago.
20.
1 point
Methane is odorless, colorless, and tasteless - that is why mercaptan, a chemical odorant is added.
21.
1 point
Contains 45-86 percent carbon
Heating value of 11,000 - 15,000 BTU
22.
1 point
Liquefied natural gas is easier to store than the gaseous form since it takes up much less space.
23.
1 point
Gasoline is sold in __________.
24.
1 point
Natural gas is sold in __________.
25.
1 point
Traditional methods of burning coal produce emissions that can reduce air and water quality.
26.
1 point
When coal is several hundred feet deep and the workers must go down a shaft to get to it.
27.
1 point
Today, coal supplies about 37% of the nation’s electricity used in the United States.
28.
1 point
Petroleum is a renewable energy source.
29.
1 point
CCUS is a process for reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere by capturing CO2 from stationary sources and using the CO2 in new applications or storing the CO2 in underground storage sites.
30.
1 point
The soil and rock covering coal is called _____________.
31.
1 point
Contains 35-45 percent carbon.
Heating value of 8,300 - 13,000 BTU
32.
1 point
Natural gas is the most environmentally friendly fossil fuel.
33.
1 point
Unlike oil and gas, CO2 is non-explosive, non-hazardous, and non-toxic, and is not ignitable.
34.
1 point
When coal is fairly close to the surface (200 feet) ____________ is used.
35.
1 point
Prices for natural gas are set by the market. It is about two and a half times cheaper than electricity and fuel oil, both of which are common fuels used to heat U.S.homes.
36.
1 point
Coal can be turned into gas. This gasification process removes sulfur, nitrogen compounds, and particulates before the fuel is burned, making it as clean as natural gas.
37.
1 point
Jet fuel is a byproduct of petroleum.
38.
1 point
The goal of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (also known as carbon sequestration), or CCUS, is to mitigate the levels of CO2 entering the atmosphere.
39.
1 point
Exploratory wells are drilled to see (explore) if there is gas below. About 40% of these exploratory wells produce gas.
40.
