47% is natural gas, 28% is coal (2010 figures).
Fossil fuels produce electricity when they are burned to make steam or smoke which turns generators to make electricity. But we must be careful that we are not burning too much fossil fuels so that we will run out one day. :)
Sure, much of the world's electricity is obtained by burning fossil fuels.
More fossil fuels being used, higher electricity bills...
Wind turbines do not use any fossil fuels to operate as they generate electricity from the wind. The amount of electricity generated depends on the wind speed and turbine efficiency, not on fossil fuel consumption.
Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels. But the use of solar energy should hopefully reduce the need of fossil fuels to create energy, so therefore the more we can use solar power as an energy source instead of fossil fuels, the more we reduce the use of fossil fuels.
Solar panels produce electricity without greenhouse gas emissions and therefore we don't need to use fossil fuels as much?
Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas account for the majority of electricity generation globally. In 2020, fossil fuels generated approximately 63% of the world's electricity. However, this percentage can vary by country and region based on their energy mix.
Because fossil fuels are made of dead plants and animals and it takes millions of years to form and we use them to much and fast and we start to run out
Fossil fuels are used to produce electricity, power vehicles, and create various materials such as plastics, fertilizers, and chemicals. They are also used in manufacturing processes and for heating and cooling buildings.
Yes, well sort of. Burning fossil fuels is the first step. These fuels heat water and turn it into steam. The steam will drive the turbines. In some cases, turbines are driven by the products of combustion of natural gas instead of steam. The rotating turbines create electricity. See related link.Fossil fuels are things like coal, natural gas, and oil. In most countries, they are used to generate much of the electricity.
Typically the nuclear energy is converted to electricity and the electricity powers the device. No much differently than the chemical energy in fossil fuels is often converted to electricity and the electricity powers the device.
The fossil fuels will become extinct in some years.There is no future of fossil fuels.That is why there is so much research going on the alternate fuels.
