Yes, carbon dioxide (CO2) is released as waste from a power plant that runs on fossil fuels (coal, oil or natural gas). As CO2 is a greenhouse gas causing global warming all these power plants have to be replaced with renewable energy.

What are the by-products of an oil-fired power plant?

There are several, but an important one is carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas which is released when oil, a fossil fuel, is burnt. This carbon dioxide has been hidden away for millions of years, so releasing it now is overloading the carbon cycle and causing global warming.


Unlike fossil fuels nuclear power is considered clean As discussed in the lesson this means the power plant does not emit?

Does not emit polluting gases such as carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide


What is the main chemical pollutant released by power plants and industries?

Carbon dioxide (but not from nuclear plants)


What are daffodil food sources?

In order to grow and be a sucessful little plant the daffodil must both photosynthesise and respire. This is the 'food' of the plant. To photosynthesise the plant needs the reactants of Carbon Dioxide and Water, to make Glucose and Oxygen. To respire the plant needs Glucose and Oxygen to produce Carbon Dioxide and Water and Energy (This is the growing power bit). So foods are Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen, Glucose, Water, Warmth, and Sunlight.

How can humans help reduce the problem of nitrogen dioxide?

A power plant using fossil fuels must recover nitrogen, sulfur oxides and in the future carbon dioxide.


If a plant cell lacks energy but has plenty of reducing power it is likely to?

If a plant cell lacks energy but has plenty of reducing power, it is likely to undergo photosynthesis. Photosynthesis requires reducing power (in the form of NADPH) to drive the conversion of carbon dioxide into sugars.


Is a solar power plant pollution free?

Basically yes. Once it is running there are no carbon dioxide or other emissions. This is what makes it such an excellent generator of electricity.


What gases are emitted from a nuclear power plant?

A nuclear power plant primarily emits water vapor and small amounts of carbon dioxide during its operation. Radioactive gases, such as noble gases like xenon and krypton, can also be released during certain operational events, but these are typically controlled and monitored to minimize environmental impact.


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.
