Many things that we depend on with transportation come from oil. Whether it is our package arriving on time to grocery store food being driven across the country. But that oil needs to be dug up from somewhere, and mistakes can happen. Over the course of humans digging up oil there have been multiple oil spills that have polluted the earth’s water. Our project is to find the most economic and efficient way to remediate oil from oil spills. For the research of our project, we have used past oil spills such as the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill, and BP’s Deepwater Horizon spill, and see what methods they used and see how efficient they were, and with that information we will try to come up with the best solution for not as financially stable countries who suffer from the same problem.
