Is carbon dioxide a gas from fossil fuel?
Yes, the burning of any fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide. This is what is causing global warming and climate change.
How can you become carbon neutral?
Carbon neutral means that on balance, you are not responsible for any increase in carbon dioxide emissions. You would need to get all your electricity from renewable resources. You would not use any fossil fuels. This would also mean that the food you eat is not transported in any fossil fuel burning vehicles.
Why do you use natural gas?
because its one of the cleanest burning fossil fuels , meaning ti produces the least carbon dioxide than any other fossil fuel.
Is natural gas environmentally friendly?
It is debatable. Natural gas has the smallest carbon to hydrogen ratio of any fossil fuel, which means it produces less carbon dioxide per unit of energy than any other fossil fuel. The impurities such as hydrogen sulfide can be easily removed via the Claus process, avoiding toxic emissions of sulfur dioxide when the fuel is burned. On the other hand natural gas is still a fossil fuel and still produces carbon dioxide when burned, which is the major contributor to anthropogenic global warming.
Is there any way scientists can determine what percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is from the burning of fossil fuels compared to other sources of carbon dioxide such as respiration or for?
Yes, scientists can tell the difference. Carbon dioxide (CO2) released from the burning of long-buried fossil fuels contains carbon of different isotopic ratios to those of living plants. So we can distinguish between natural and man-made CO2.
What fossil fuel Produces more carbon dioxide than any other fossil fuels?
oil
What fossil fuel produces more carbon dioxide than any other fossil fuel?
oil
Is carbon dioxide a gas from fossil fuel?
Yes, the burning of any fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide. This is what is causing global warming and climate change.
What is the name of the pollutant caused by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels?
Carbon monoxide is produced during incomplete combustion of any hydrocarbon or fossil fuel. Adding oxygenates (molecules containing oxygen) to the fuel and maintaining the proper air/fuel ratio can reduce the amount of carbon monoxide generated.
Can archaeologists estimate the age of any ancient artifact with carbon dating?
No, only artifacts that were once part of living things can be carbon dated. Thus a piece of carved ivory can be carbon dated, but a stone arrowhead cannot.
How people use carbon?
Fossil Fuels like Coal and Oil contain Carbon, Carbon is what our bodies are based from, and any living thing has some carbon.
How can you become carbon neutral?
Carbon neutral means that on balance, you are not responsible for any increase in carbon dioxide emissions. You would need to get all your electricity from renewable resources. You would not use any fossil fuels. This would also mean that the food you eat is not transported in any fossil fuel burning vehicles.
What energy source causes carbon dioxide?
Burning any of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide.
What process releases carbon into the atmosphere from fossil fuels?
Combustion. Fossil fuels contain carbon, hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and some other elements. But the largest is Carbon. So when such fuels burn they combine with the Oxygen and Nitrogen in air to form Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen oxides etc. Any form of carbon when burns produces carbon dioxide.
Are any good gases produced when burning fossil fuels?
Not really. Burning fossil fuels releases mainly carbon dioxide. In small quantities this is useful in keeping the earth warm. However carbon dioxide from fossil fuels is not part of the carbon cycle, but extra gas which has been safely sequestered under the ground for millions of years.
What provide more carbon dioxide than any other source?
Fossil fuels (coal and methane)
Does a fossil fuel contribute to any type of pollution?
Yes, many contribute to carbon Dioxide pollution
