Fossil3
But that supply is finite, and fossil fuel consumption has tremendous negative impact on Earth's climate. (phys.org)
So researchers looking to create alternates to fossil fuels have to re-engineer the process to create more energy-dense fuels, such as ethanol or methane. (phys.org)
According to global energy statistics, the total energy consumption of the world was 13,903 million tons of oil equivalent or 5.82 × 10 20 J in 2016 alone which was dominated by fossil fuels (Enerdata 2017 ). (springeropen.com)

Where we are now, it would need to scale up by many orders of magnitude to make an sufficient amount of methane for our consumption," Lin said. (phys.org)
Algae took another 3 billion years to create sufficient oxygen to support other forms of life because land plants evolved from algae only about 500 million years ago. (algaeplanet.com)
Protein2
The generic name for numerous enzymes that are specific for the transfer of an adenylyl group (adenosine[mono]phosphor group) from a donor molecule (usually adenosine triphosphate, ATP) to an acceptor, such as a nucleotide, a protein, and a sugar. (nih.gov)

Earth's2
About 3.7 billion years ago, no life existed because the Earth's surface was too hot and there was no oxygen. (algaeplanet.com)
However, their classification as Monera, equivalent in taxonomy to the other kingdoms-Plantae, Animalia, Fungi, and Protista-understated the remarkable genetic and metabolic diversity exhibited by prokaryotic cells relative to eukaryotic cells. (en-academic.com)
