Which of the following is not being considered as an energy source for the future?
Seed oil
Methanol
Ethanol
Shale oil
Carbon dioxide
Seed oil is not being considered as an energy source for the future.
but Methanol replacing hydrogen gas as the fuel of the future ...As a vehicle fuel, it is ready to be used in the current infrastructure.
Ethanol fuel is ethyl alcohol, the same type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, used as fuel .
Its positives are: Shale oil reduces the energy dependence, it can be used instead of coal which is more contaminant than shale gas, it balances the oil prices.
A Cornell University startup has reportedly developed a way, by adding sunlight to carbon dioxide to transform it into syngas or methanol. The fuel is said to be environmentally friendly and useful for transportation, energy, heating and cooking.

Based on the molecular polarity of water, which of the following molecules would be soluble in water? glucose, methanol, and ethanol glucose, ethane, and ethanol carbon dioxide, methane, and methanol O carbon dioxide, glucose, and methanol glucose, carbon dioxide, and ethanol
2. Genetically-modified sugar beets are being investigated as a possible source crop for the production of ethanol biofuel. Some studies suggest that sugar beets could yield more ethanol per kilogram and for a lower cost compared to corn. a) In your own words, explain the basic reason for which biofuels such as ethanol (and biodiesel) are renewable. [1 Mark] b) Under what conditions would ethanol produced from sugar beets be carbon- neutral? [1 Mark] The technology now exists to produce...
What are pros and cons of US being energy independent, that is not importing (mainly) oil from other countries? As the graph below shows (source: https://www.aei.org/publication/milestones-americas-shale-revolution-elevated-us-worlds-1-energy-superpower/print/ ) this is not as big of an issue today as it has been in past when majority of oil used in US was imported, but what would be the effects of US unilaterally deciding to ban oil imports?
Place the following energy sources in order of their least net carbon dixide emission into the atmosphere, where 1. = lowest net carbon, and 5. = highest net carbon. In your calculation, take into account: How much carbon dioxide (or CO2 equivalent) is emitted per unit energy generated. If the source is renewable, how much carbon dixide (or CO2 equivalent) is removed from the atmosphere each year by that resource. How much energy is needed to produce and deliver that...
A carbon tax would increase the price of which energy source by the greatest percentage? a) Natural gas b) Geothermal energy c) Coal d) Oil e) Nuclear energy
For chemical thermodynamic reasons that have nothing to do with biological issues, only certain energy source-TEA reactions can be used to obtain energy. Which of the following energy source-TEA combinations is NOT used by any prokaryote to obtain energy? A. Molecular hydrogen-carbon dioxide B. Hydrogen sulfide- molecular oxygen C. Ferric iron-nitrate D. Ammonium-nitrit
Please answer this ASAP: The crude oil market is considered a global market, where prices from different crude oil streams tend to move together. OPEC, however, has been effective exerting upward pressure on oil prices at various times since its inception. Which of the following statements is true? The US's oil production from shale will insure that the US will become the market leader and displace OPEC. Change in future oil prices will only be impacted by China and India's...
1. Describe the electron source, the carbon source, and the energy source for the following organisms: Photolithoautotroph, chemoorganoheterotroph, chemolithoautotroph
Which plant part is not a source of fibers at an industrial scale? A. Seed B. Leaf C. Fruit D. Flower
A suspension of yeast cells is being grown under anaerobic conditions such that glucose is degraded to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Adding an inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase to the yeast cell suspension results in rapid cell death. Why? a.) Without alcohol dehydrogenase, the acetaldehyde concentration increases to levels that are toxic to the yeast cells. b.) NADH generated during glycolysis cannot be recycled back to NAD+, thus anaerobic ATP production through glycolysis cannot be maintained. c.) Pyruvate is no longer...
