When we turn up the heat in our homes and workplaces, we must balance our personal need for warmth with the global impact of burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, coal, and biomass. The hot air is circulated through a network of pipes inside a sand-filled heat storage vessel. There is nothing special here!” Eronen says, laughing.

China will see the largest increase—more than 4 million oil-equivalent barrels per day. As conventional production declines, more of the world’s oil demand will be met by emerging sources that only recently became available in significant quantities: oil sands, tight oil, deepwater, NGLs and biofuels.

Study Finds That Major Hurricanes Produce Seabed Forces as Deep as 90m That Could Threaten Gulf Oil Pipelines

Green Car Congress

MAY 27, 2010

These forces could snap offshore oil pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico and other hurricane-prone areas, the study suggests. The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) region provides nearly 30% of the United States oil supply and 20% of its natural gas. Major oil leaks from damaged pipelines could have irreversible impacts to the ocean environment.
