No. They are extracting existing heat from the earth, and converting that to electrical power. There are no fossil fuels burned there.

Does helium produce carbon dioxide?

No. helium does not produce carbon dioxide


How could power stations reduce the amount of carbon dioxide they produce?

There are many ways to generate electricity. Methods that burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) produce carbon dioxide. Methods using renewable energy do not. Nuclear power plants, although uranium in non-renewable, do not produce carbon dioxide. Power stations could be rebuilt to use different fuel sources. Biomass and biofuel will power a coal fired power station without emitting the carbon dioxide pollution.

Does algae produce carbon dioxide?

Algae are plants and produce oxygen from carbon dioxide when exposed to sunlight by photosynthesis. At night they produce carbon dioxide though cellular respiration.


Does plankton produce carbon dioxide?

Is geothermal energy carbon neutral?

Yes. There are no carbon dioxide emissions from a geothermal power plant. Only the heat from underground providing steam to generate electricity.


How much co2 does a geothermal electrical plant produce?

Practically no carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced from a geothermal power plant once it has been established. There is a carbon footprint from its construction and assembly, but this is wiped out in a few months by the free, renewable, clean, non-polluting energy that it provides.


How do geothermal energy and fossil fuel affect the environment?

Geothermal power plants have very little effect on the environment. They produce no carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Fossil fuels on the other hand (coal, oil and natural gas) emit carbon dioxide and other pollutants. Scientists agree that this is causing global warming and climate change.

Can carbon dioxide come from fire?

Yes. Burning carbon or a carbon compound will produce carbon dioxide.
