Best Answer

More accurately, burning candles convert energy from one form to another. The chemical energy available in the wax of the candle is converted, through the chemical reaction of burning, into primarily light and heat.

Is burning candles bad carbons?

The Carbon dioxide released from burning candles is dwarfed next to the release due to our societies endemic oil use. Of course, if you care for the environment, you should attempt to minimize any activities that hurt it, but that doesn't mean you have to give up everything that you enjoy doing just because it is energy intensive. Balance is the key - If you like candles, use candles, but perhaps walk to the store one day instead of taking the car. If you were asking about bad chemicals released while burning candles, see [http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/daily-green-tips/burning-question/ this article].

What is the difference between generation of electricity from coal and from candles?

-- Candles must be manufactured. You can't just dig them out of the ground in a usable form. -- Coal contains more chemical energy than candles do. You get more energy from burning a pound of coal then you get from burning a pound of candles. -- On the other hand, a power plant that burned candles would operate cleaner than one that burns coal. It might produce just as much carbon dioxide, but I suspect that there might be less sulfur and mercury to worry about.
