No. Water power ( or hydro) is powered by turbines. This factor depends on who actually places it there.

Does hydro power contribute to global warming?
No, hydro power is renewable energy, which has no carbon dioxide emissions.
Does barbecuing produce carbon dioxide?
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.
Do hybrid cars produce carbon dioxide why are there two engines?
Yes, hybrid cars usually have two engines, a gasoline one and an electric motor.When the gasoline engine is running, it burns fossil fuel and releases carbon dioxide.When the electric motor is running (powered by batteries) it doesn't release carbon dioxide, but the electricity that charged the batteries might have been generated in fossil fuel (coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear) power plants. These all release CO2.If the electricity was generated from solar, hydro, wind power or another kind of renewable source, then no carbon dioxide was released.
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.
Annually how much carbon dioxide does nuclear power produce?
Total greenhouse gas emissions (most of it comes from carbon dioxide) from nuclear power is about 5.7 gCeq/kwh (grams of carbon equivalent per kWh of electricity produced). To calculate annual emission form nuclear power, you have to apply it to the electricity generation capacity of a nuclear power plant.
Does hydro power contribute to global warming?
No, hydro power is renewable energy, which has no carbon dioxide emissions.
Is hydro power cleaner than fossil fuels?
Yes. Hydro power has no dangerous, global-warming-causing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2).
How does hydro power best break your dependence on oil and fossil fuels?
Hydro power is clean, green and renewable, with no carbon dioxide emissions. Moving to hydro and other renewable energies means we can break our dependence on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) for ever.
Is there a power station that is not going to pollute the world?
Power stations using wind, solar natural hydro flows, geothermal, tidal flows and such generally do not emit pollutants. Nuclear power plants are non-polluting during normal operation. Gas powered plants emit carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides. G\Coal fired plants emit carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, radiation sulphur dioxide and particulates.
How many moles are equivalent to 3.75x10 to the twentyfourth power molecules of carbon dioxide?
6.32 mol carbon dioxide
What source of energy does not produce carbon dioxide when it is used?
Wind energy being used in wind mill would not produce CO2 Nuclear power plants would not produce CO2 Hydropower would not produce CO2 Why not? Solar energy in case of solar cells would not produce CO2
How does boiling a kettle increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The boiling water itself does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is just water vapor, which is itself a greenhouse gas, but is not carbon dioxide. However, in order to boil the water, you need heat. This heat can be generated by 1) burning wood, 2) burning natural gas, or 3) using electricity. Burning wood or natural gas releases carbon dioxide. Using electricity does not release carbon dioxide, but generating electricity usually does. Most electricity in generated by burning coal, which releases carbon dioxide. Only if the electricity is generated by nuclear, hydro-electric, wind or solar power will there be no carbon dioxide released.
Does barbecuing produce carbon dioxide?
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.
What Major gaseous pollutant for thermal power station?
Carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide
What gases are produced at a waste power plant?
carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide!<3
How is calcium carbonate used in coal fired power stations?
Limestone is used in a power station to neutralise the sulphur dioxide that is emitted. Carbon dioxide and carbon sulphate are both made!
Where are tidal powers used?
It is used in Hydro Electric Power Projects for producing Electricity
