Does Nuclear energy produce more carbon dioxide than burning coal?
No. It produces less.
Uranium fuel pellets used in nuclear power station produce far more energy per kilogram than the energy produced by burning coal How much coal has to be burnt to produce the same amount of energy?
1 kg uranium 235 = 3 000 t coal
Does uranium contain more energy than coal?
yes uranium contains a lot more energy than coal and that is one of the reasons that people prefer nuclear power to fossil fuel power but like coal uranium is not! renewable
What is the difference between brown and black coal besides their colour?
Black coal is an ideal fuel as it contains less water than brown coal and thus provides more energy than the same amount of brown coal.
What produces more energy coal or gas?
For this the proper metric for comparison is the energy density of the fuel. Coal: 6.7 KW-hr per kg Natural Gas: 14.9 KW-hr per kg. So natural gas produces more energy per kg than coal.
Why do people burn coal to produce energy?
Coal is less expensive than oil and will be more plentiful in years to come
Does Nuclear energy produce more carbon dioxide than burning coal?
No. It produces less.
Uranium fuel pellet used in nuclear power stations produce far more energy per kilogram than the energy produced by burning coal How much coal has to be burnt to produce the same amount of energy as?
1 kg of U-235 will produce as much energy as 1500 tons of coal
Why do power plants rely on nuclear Energy?
To produce energy more than any other source can produce. A handful of Uranium can produce enough energy as the same as 4000 Train Load of coal [Given that each train load has around 15,000 Tons of Coal.]
Uranium fuel pellets used in nuclear power station produce far more energy per kilogram than the energy produced by burning coal How much coal has to be burnt to produce the same amount of energy?
1 kg uranium 235 = 3 000 t coal
Does a nuclear plant produce more than a coal plant?
Not necessarily
Why is coal better than petrol on open fire?
because coal has more energy intake ?..,
Does uranium contain more energy than coal?
yes uranium contains a lot more energy than coal and that is one of the reasons that people prefer nuclear power to fossil fuel power but like coal uranium is not! renewable
Why was coal a more appealing fuel source than wood?
It produces more energy
When is coal used?
Coal is used when a company wants to produce a huge amount of heat energy for the lowest cost, such as for an electrical power plant. Coal is considerably cheaper than oil or gas.
Plants that produce this type of energy are more efficient than those that produce fossil fuel energy?
water energy
Is biogas renewable or non-renewable?
Renewable as we produce more than we use, for example coal is non-renewable because of the fact that we can't produce coal as fast as we use it.
