How it is used
-It is a nonrenewable source of
energy, once we run out of them we
cant make more
-Crude oil is usable when it is
extracted from the ground and then
refined.
-When the crude oil is starting to boil
different compounds start to be
boiled. Then these compounds are
taken out to be used

Using the energy Source

We will need drills and pumps to
dig up the oil in the ground we
also need refiners.
- Hydrogen could power fuel
cells
- To use crude oil we will need
ships for transport and a
proper refinement system
- Through that we can refine it
and pull out compounds for
energy

New Technologies
-MCW energy uses a patented closed-loop technology that
treats the sands with a solvent that helps remove the oil.
-The oil and solvent are separated, with the latter recycled for
the next batch of production.
- According to CEO Gerald Bailey, the finished sand is 99.9
percent clean and can be put back on the ground.
