What are the disadvantages of fossil fuel to produce electricity?
Its a limited resource.
What kind of fuel is used in Upper Arlington to produce electricity?
fossil fuels
How does how fossil fuels produce electricity or fuel?
Fossil fuels produce electricity when they are burned to make steam or smoke which turns generators to make electricity. But we must be careful that we are not burning too much fossil fuels so that we will run out one day. :)
Solid fossil fuel found underground often used to produce electricity?
Coal
What is the beginning cost to get fossil fuel?
fossil fuels contain coal, if you burn coal it produce's steam,then the steam turn's the turbine in a generator to produce electricity.That's the cost of fossil fuels ,that they can produce electricity.
How is coal helpful to humans?
Coal is a fossil fuel,that is being used to produce electricity and heat.
What kind of fossil fuel do wind turbines need to produce electricity?
You obviously don't understand what fossil fuels are-coal, oil, natural gas. Wind turbines don't need any of these to produce electricity
Is electricity fossil fuel?
Electricity itself is not a fossil fuel but, can be generated by steam turbines and generators where the steam has been generated by heating water in fossil fuel boilers.
What are the steps taken to produce electricity using fossil fuels?
Fossil fuel (coal) is burnt in furnaces. The heat produced turns water into steam. The steam is fed through steam turbine generators. It is these generators that produce electricity. This electricity is fed onto the national grid.
What are three positives about fossil fuels?
Three positives about fossil fuels are:1. Fossil fuel power stations are relatively inexpensive to build and maintain.2. Fossil fuel power stations can produce large quantities of electricity.3. Fossil fuels are easily distributed.
How much fossil fuel energy is used to produce 100 MW of electricity to a town?
i gotta do same question for my science assignment
Why should you use alternative energies instead of fossil fuels to produce electricity?
Consumers should convert to alternate energies rather than use fossil fuels to produce electricity because we have a limited supply of fossil fuel- we will run out. Just because we have a limited supply, doesn't mean that there's like no fossil fuel left, but at one point we will run out of fossils to produce the fuel. It takes approximately 500 years to have a fossil develop, so if we ever ran out of fossil fuel, we would have to wait another 500 years for more to be produced. That's also why gas prices are constantly on the rise, because our supply is limited, and it's becoming more valuable. Fossil fuel also pollutes are air and water. If everyone used alternate energy sources to produce electricity, we would majorly cut down earth's pollution, potentially helping save the human race in the long run. That's why we should use alternate energy sources rather than fossil fuels to produce electricity.
