| 释义 | fossil fuel noun[ C or U ] uk /ˈfɒs.əl ˌfjʊəl/ us /ˈfɑː.səl ˌfjʊəl/ fuels, such as gas, coal, and oil, that were formed underground from plant and animal remains millions of years ago矿物燃料 Fuels alcohol fuel bioethanol biofuelled biomaterial briquette charcoal CHP coal coalification gasometer go-juice guzzle hickory chips mesquite non-fuel non-petroleum nuclear oil-fired propellant solar panel A development of this sort, together with new power sources to replace the fossil fuels on which factory, home, and vehicle now depend, might also all but eliminate the growing smog and air-pollution blight. fossil fuel | American Dictionaryfossil fuel noun[ C ] us/ˈfɑs·əl ˈfju·əl, ˈfjul/ a fuel such as gas, coal, and oil that has been produced in the earth from plants and animals Examples of fossil fuelfossil fuel In recent times, agriculture has become a major fossilfuel energy user. The impression given is that fossilfuel use will continue to rise, and that coal is the fuel of the future. Our calculations indicate that rotation and no-till systems use substantially less fossilfuel in comparison to conventional systems. For each farm type (conventional, rotation and no-till) we estimated average yearly fossilfuel energy use. As fossilfuel reserves diminish, alternative renewable sources of energy will be needed to sustain economic growth. Our model of baseline fossilfuel consumption allows autonomous energy efficiency improvements. The model's dynamics derive from fossilfuel depletion, productive capital accumulation, and the putty/semi-putty specification of technology. This however will be weighed against the effect of more expensive fossil fuels, as a result of the fossilfuel tax. Whereas these studies have been retrospective, we use a dynamic general equilibrium model to investigate global and regional sustainability over the period 1985 - 2050, focusing on fossilfuel extraction. For these regions, if economic depreciation (as a proportion of the total value of fossilfuel extraction) were to exceed 67, 50 and 24 per cent respectively, would change sign. There is no systematic empirical evidence that highly indebted developing countries exploit more their subsoil fossilfuel and mineral resources or produce more cash crops for exports than other countries. The question of structural change is not really serious for those who believe that transition away from fossilfuel based energy supply will suffice to de-carbonize the economy. Even though it has long been known that the global inventory of fossilfuel is finite, no serious action had been taken to face this problem. A comparison of our cumulative emissions projections to historic emissions from fossilfuel combustion highlights the magnitude of the threat from continued global development along historical trajectories. Nevertheless, they will never come close to replacing all the current, fossilfuel-powered vehicles.
