Нефть, уголь и природный газ являются широко используемыми источниками энергии. Их называют углеводородным топливом.
Нефть образовалась из останков морских растений и животных, живших много лет назад.
Промышленно развитые страны потребляют огромное количество энергии.
В настоящее время нефть является самым ценным продуктом в мире. Ее часто называют черным золотом.
Рождение нефтяной промышленности можно отнести к 1859 году, когда в США была пробурена первая нефтяная скважина.
Первым товарным продуктом, производимым из неочищенной нефти, был керосин. В 19 веке его использовали для тепла, света и приготовления пищи.
После изобретения двигателя внутреннего сгорания бензин стал самым востребованным топливом в мире.
После Второй мировой войны нефть заменила уголь в качестве основного источника энергии. Тонна угля производит меньше энергии, чем баррель нефть, и нефть легче транспортировать.
Нефть является невозобновляемым природным ресурсом. Так как потребление нефти увеличивается, существуют предположения, что нефтяные месторождения могут истощиться.
Ученые проводят исследования с целью найти другие источники энергии.
