So now it s that constant process of trying rid my life of petroleum. And getting a good understating of my own carbon footprint.
More than 85 percent of homes are heated with oil. So part of our struggle is to get ourselves off fuel,
Most municipal buildings are running on oil. Natural gas is not only cleaner but it s cheaper.
It's called bio-oil. It's a low-grade crude oil substitute. We can upgrade it to a point where it can run a diesel generator.
Beijinger s penchant for fried food means that the city s waste is surrounded by a layer of cooking oil,
ground into paste with a bit of thyme oil as a binder (and less recognizable than when served alive).
Watch for Kraft to become an even bigger activist related to this commodities, as well as palm oil. Deforestation will be another place it places its sustainability investments.
and approximate the emissions of the much-maligned oil mined from tar sands. The numbers were intended for release in the spring when the EU presents new proposals on biofuels,
The EU's default value for measuring carbon efficiency for oil from tar sands is 107g CO2 equivalent per megajoule of fuel (CO2/mj.
Palm oil-105g Soybean â oe 103g Rapeseed â oe 95g Sunflower â oe 86g Palm oil with methane capture â oe 83g
By reducing reliance on petroleum-based materials and using its own agricultural scraps as feedstocks for new bottles,
and Pepsico. The new bottle will use the bio-based materials to reproduce the molecular structure that is used in petroleum-based polyethylene terephthalate (aka PET),
Meanwhile,  less than one-tenth of 1 percent of renewable fuels produced next year will come  from cellulosic ethanol-- the transportation fuel panacea expected to wean the U s. off of foreign oil
deliciously replaced by oil. Still, potato chip factories need a lot of water to make their salty snacks.
We are looking at it with a new lens around where we get all our key ingredients such as sunflower oil for our crisps,
It also means using healthier oils and fewer fats and sugars. We re conscious of the lifestyle change of our consumers,
and is made of starches, proteins, olive oil, minerals and vitamins. It will cost about $3 per meal,
They are working on things like better batteries to replace oil used in transportation. And they are doing natural gas research.

Cobalt is trying to replace some of the petroleum and petrochemical materials in anything from gasoline to plastics to paint.
As farming became more mechanized and reliant on petroleum based inputs, it became a more independent and solitary career.
we need to prepare ourselves for a future without cheap oil and gas
Biohackingmany of the world's great innovators started out as hackers people who like to tinker with technology
The U s. uses roughly 21 million barrels of oil per day. According to a recent U s. Census bureau report, 2. 8 million people have so-called oeextreme commutes,
Public transportation is cited often as a cure for oil addiction. In the United states, rise of disabled elderly Americans will strain public transportation systems.
Developing nations growing hungrier for scarce oil supplies, coupled with concern over the environment in developed nations,
will signal the end of the oil era. Petroleum alternatives now comprise about 17%of global energy use
and are growing at just 30%per year. By 2020, only 30%of global energy is likely to come from alternative energy sources.
As a replacement for oil, algae is extremely practical, utilizes mostly cheap and abundant resources like saltwater and wasteland,
the cost of halophytic algae biofuel is less than the cost of petroleum trading at $70 per barrel or higher.
900 litres of water if it comes from palm oil. Advances in bioechnology have helped us push food production to its limit.
or palm-oil production releases large quantities of stored carbon into the atmosphere. Grazing ruminant animals, like cattle and sheep, also contribute significantly to climate change.
