Why is energy from petroleum referred to as stored energy?
The energy from the petroleum is only accessable when the fuel is burnt, if the petroleum itself doesn't undergo burning the energy isn't released. So the energy is called 'stored' or 'potential' energy.
What is the definition of petroleum energy?
It's the kind of energy that is obtained from burning petroleum products.
What energy source does not add CO2 to the atmosphere?
CO2 (carbon dioxide) is produced when things are burned - for example wood, petroleum (and petroleum products such as gasoline), and coal. Most energy sources that don't rely on burning won't produce carbon dioxide. This includes nuclear energy (although nuclear energy does have other environmental problems), wave energy, geothermal energy, solar energy, and wind energy.
How is petroleum used as a source of energy?
the petroleum is used as fuel. it is burned, letting out a burst of energy
The energy in petroleum and coal is stored as what energy?
Potential
Does petroleum produce energy?
Yes, a huge amount
What does Spain maily produce?
Cars (and other transport materials), petroleum, food, energy and cork
What is petroleum energy?
Petroleum energy is energy derived from petroleum products: gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, etc.
What burns quickly and powers vehicles?
Petroleum distillates. Gas causes a combustion reaction in cars to produce energy.
How are renewable and nonrenewable energy alike?
Renewable energy sources use various non petroleum, non wood, non peat, non nuclear sources for fuel energy, typically to produce electricity. Petroleum, wood, peat, and nuclear energy are non renewable sources because they can be depleted faster than they can be replaced. The main way these energy sources are alike is they are all used to produce electricity.
Is nuclear energy petroleum energy?
No, it is completely different. Petroleum is a fossil fuel
Why solar energy has not overtaken petroleum as an alternative source of energy?
Petroleum is cheaper.
Where is coal used to produce energy?
All over the world. Coal is still a major source of energy, besides petroleum and petroleum products, while hydro, nuclear, wind, solar and biofuels are relatively minor (but hopefully increasing, as a percentage of overall energy sources, in the near future).
Is petroleum a gas?
Petroleum is a crude oil that is used to produce gasoline.
