Abstract

Gas will increasingly be seen as the fossil fuel of choice, especially when considering environmental impacts. Natural gas is the chance for Serbia for sustainable development and with its intensive consumption in the XXI century to conciliate the 4Es (Energy, Economy, Efficiency and Environment). In this paper we will compare the impact of different fossil fuels used for domestic heating with a special emphasis on natural gas. Some other causes of climate changes will be also discussed such as the Milanković astronomical cycles. These factors will be compared with climate changes caused by the consumption of fossil fuels.

Abstract

3rd International Symposium on Multidisciplinary Studies and Innovative Technologies, ISMSIT 2019 -- 11 October 2019 through 13 October 2019 -- -- 156063 Fossil fuels, which has determined all the important economic and political events of the last century, are the most widely used fuel type in the world. Petroleum or crude oil is a fossil fuel. In this study, the amount of petroleum reserves in the world and their lifetime are examined. Based on the studies conducted by international oil companies and independent energy organizations, it is predicted that oil reserves will be depleted in about 50 years. Paris Agreement aims to reduce fossil fuels and oil use in order to reduce air pollution by 2030. Until the 2050s, it is seen that many developed countries conduct studies on how to meet their energy needs for the areas such as electricity, heat and transportation 100% by renewable energy sources. Oil directly effects the economies of all countries in the world. In this study, oil production and consumption rates and alternative fuels that will be used in future vehicles are examined. In the upcoming years, economic growth, policy and technology will be shaped by alternative fuels. In addition, it has been determined that alternative fuel studies to replace oil have not reached the desired level yet. © 2019 IEEE.
