The fossil fuel that will be used up the fastest is?
The fossil fuel that would be used up the fastest is oil. This is because it is cheap to run and quick to start up. Oil is also used in large and medium-sized power stations
Why is it simple to transport oil and gasoline to power stations?
oil and gasoline can flow through pipes.
Advantages of burning oil products?
◊ Very large amounts of electricity can be generated in one place. ◊ Transporting oil and gas to the power stations is easy. ◊ Gas-fired power stations are very efficient. ◊ A fossil-fuelled power station can be built almost anywhere, so long as you can get large quantities of fuel to it. ◊ Cheap to transport ◊ Easy to obtain
What fossil fuels can burn in power stations?
With the exception of nuclear power stations (which are classed as 'thermal'), all other 'thermal' power stations use combustible fuels, including coal (usually pulverised), oil, gas, wood-chips, etc. I visited a sugar plantation, in Indonesia, where the waste material (pulverised) from the processed sugar cane was used as the main fuel in their on-site power station.
Advantages of geothermal power stations?
costs less than gas or oil. doesnt pollute the air and its naturall
How many fuel stations in the US does oil fuel?
3,000,000 staions
What fossil fuels do we burn in power stations?
they burn fossil fuels like coal, fuel oil, and oil shale
Where are fossil fuel burned?
In cars and trucks (oil), and in power stations (coal, oil and natural gas) to generate electricity.
The fossil fuel that will be used up the fastest is?
The fossil fuel that would be used up the fastest is oil. This is because it is cheap to run and quick to start up. Oil is also used in large and medium-sized power stations
Which fuel do you use the most of in power stations in the UK?
Them most commonly used fuels in UK power stations are fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and oil. Nuclear fuels like plutonium and uranium are sometimes used as well.
Where does fuel for power stations come from?
Presuming you mean fuel that is burned, coal, oil and gas come from underground mines and wells. Some experimental or small scale stations burn rubbish or biomass such as elephant grass grown for the purpose. Nuclear stations don't burn anything, but their raw material is often called fuel. This is often uranium, which is also mined.
Why is it many electrical power stations use oil?
Oil is not too expensive, especially when you can increase the price of electricity to cover it. Oil is easily transported, and it is also simple to convert a coal burning power station into an oil burning power station.
What is good about using oil as fuel for heating and transport?
Transporting oil and gas to power stations is easyVery large amounts of electricity can be generated in one place, fairly cheaplyOil and gas can be burnt directly
Availability of natural rescources for power stations?
Thermal - burns coal or oil to make power Nuclear - uses radioactive fuel to make power Natural - takes energy from winds, water flows, sunshine, natural steam.
Why is it simple to transport oil and gasoline to power stations?
oil and gasoline can flow through pipes.
What are the positive things about nuclear power stations?
Nuclear Power Stations produce electricity by using nuclear energy, without burning coal, gas or oil. Therefore there is minimum effect on the environment, it is a clean supply of energy. One byproduct is hydrogen which can also be used to produce fuel cells to be used in cars. All this will greatly relieve our dependence in imported oil.
How does a nuclear power station differ from a fossil fuel burning power station?
unlike fossil fuel power stations that burn coal, oil or gas nuclear power stations use atoms to keep it brief: the atoms in the reactor split apart and releases heat energy. unlike the fossil fuel power stations which just simply burn fossil fuels another difference is that nuclear power can be very dangerous and can have disastrous effects if something goes wrong, an example of this would be the disaster at Chernobyl in Russia. also the nuclear power plants produce a large amount of radioactive waste which can take millions of years to degrade. please add to this
