Yes, it is true !
The main content is the same. Of the wood is carbon and hydrogen, and that of fossil fuels is hydrogen and carbon. So when wood and fossil fuels are burnt the Carbon combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and the hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce water (H2O). C+O2--> CO2+CO
Industries and factories emit carbon dioxide through burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and from using electricity which is largely generated from fossil fuels.
Being hydrocarbons, they produce water and carbon dioxide when burnt in air.
No. They are extracting existing heat from the earth, and converting that to electrical power. There are no fossil fuels burned there.
Any burning of wood, charcoal, coal, gas, propane or butane produced carbon dioxide/ These are the common BBQ fuels, so yes BBQs produce carbon dioxide. Even electrical BBQs get their power from fossil fuelled power plants and have a carbon dioxide impact.
carbon dioxide
The role of fossil fuels in the carbon cycle is to produce carbon dioxide. Fossil fuels are considered to be the highest contributors to pollution of the environment.
Fossil fuels are mainly made up from hydrogen and carbon atoms. When you burn them the oxygen in air chemically reacts with the hydrogen and carbon to produce carbon dioxide and water.
Burning fossil fuels and burning wood produce similar pollutants because wood and fossil fuels are both consist of hydrogen and carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced when burning wood and fossil fuel.
fossil fuels produce sulfur dioxide when burned because sulfur is present in them. things like coal which is carbon or gas which is a hydrocarbon are examples of this. fossil fuels are bad because sulfur dioxide causes acid rain. hope this helps :)
No, formation of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide.

Fossil fuels produce large quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change.
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.

Almost all fuels produce carbon dioxide when burnt, but only fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas actually add to the amount of carbon dioxide naturally present in the atmosphere.
