NO!!!

It is a black shiny carbonaceous rock.

When heated it will liberate carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Depending on on other materials in the coal, from geological compression, it may also liberate small amounts of sulphur dioxide and ammonia.

No, it is a fossil fuel, but the gas (CO2) that is released is a greenhouse gas.

What is green coke CBM?

Green = environmentally friendly (non-polluting). Coke = coal that has been heated in the absence of air (contains more energy than the same volume of coal). CBM = coal-bed methane (naturally occurring gas found in coal beds). It is a greenhouse gas if allowed to escape into the atmosphere, but if captured it can be used as a non-polluting fuel - probably to turn the coal into coke.


How is green house gases increased in atmosphere?

carbon- dioxide is a green house gas which when increased in the atmosphere causes global warming. it is released in the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels i.e. petrol, diesel, coal. trees use carbon dioxide and release oxygen so we should plant more trees to reduce green house gases in the atmosphere. hope that helps....
