What power stations produce CO2?

Most power stations that burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas produce CO2 as a byproduct of combustion. These fossil fuel power stations are major contributors to CO2 emissions and climate change.


How do coal power stations and wind farms generate electricity?

Coal power stations burn coal to heat water to produce steam, which is then used to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. The burning coal releases carbon dioxide.Wind farms have blades which turn in the wind to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. There are no harmful carbon dioxide emissions.


Why is it not advisable to build more coal power stations?

it is not advisable because the coal will finish more faster and once the coal is finished the power stations will go to waste


Why you should carry on using coal power stations?

We should carry on using coal power stations because we can make them eco-friendly.


Plant that burns waste to produce electricity?

Biomass power stations. (Regular power stations that burn coal can easily be converted to burning biomass (vegetation), reducing pollution, just by changing the fuel.)


Are nuclear power stations more efficient than coal power stations?

Yes, nuclear power stations are generally more efficient than coal power stations, as they can generate more electricity with the same amount of fuel. Nuclear power produces less waste and greenhouse gas emissions compared to coal power.


What liquid do power stations burn?

Power stations typically burn fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, or oil to generate electricity. The burning of these fuels produces heat, which is used to produce steam that drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity.


Do you buy power from coal mines?

The coal mines dig up the coal from under the earth. The coal is then sold to whoever wants it. Some industries use coal for power. Coal-fired power stations are a huge buyer of coal. They burn the coal to heat water and use the steam to turn turbines which produce electricity. This electricity is then passed on to Energy Companies who sell the power to us.


Where in the US is coal used?

Coal is used all over the US in power stations to generate electricity.


What do power stations use natural resources?

Power stations use natural resources such as coal, natural gas, oil, and nuclear fuel to generate electricity. These resources are burned or utilized to produce steam, which then drives turbines to generate electricity. Solar and wind power stations also use sunlight and wind as natural resources to produce electricity.


Why are people more worried about nuclear power stations than gas or coal?

Have you ever heard of the Chernobyl power plant? A coal fired plant can't produce a disaster of that magnitude, and people worry about the potential consequences.
