Fossil fuel (coal) is burnt in furnaces. The heat produced turns water into steam. The steam is fed through steam turbine generators. It is these generators that produce electricity. This electricity is fed onto the national grid.

How does a power plant transform energy in fossil fuels to electrical energy?
steps for power plant transform fossil fuels
In what way are biomass and fossil fuels similar?
Fossil fuels and biomass fuels have similar origins. Firewood is an example of a biomass fuel. Fossil fuels are similar to biomass in that their creation also begins with microorganisms and plants using energy from the sun to fix CO2 into carbohydrates but there are several more steps in the creation of fossil fuels.
What are the steps in which a power plant transforms the energy in fossil fuels to electrical energy?
Hi
What steps are people taking to reduce their carbon footprints and global warming?
by burning fossil fuels
What are a few steps taken for conservation of natural resources?
We can help conserving fossil fuels by reducing our usage of electricity. Since electricity comes from the burning of fossil fuels, the demand to burn fossil fuels for energy will be reduced. Cutting down the usage of vehicles and converting to other forms of public transport can also help conserve petroleum.
What steps can be taken to reduce the daily release of carbon dioxide by individuals?
by reducing the amount of fossil fuels usage
What steps would you suggest to minimise environmental pollution caused by burning of fossil fuels?
Contact Government: they will have to deal with Industry.
What are the 8 steps in the oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange?
I only know 5 of them they are... carbon dioxide in the air photosynthesis Respiration decay once living or organisms fossil fuels
How Do also fossil fuels differ from fossils?
Fossil fuels and biomass fuels have similar origins, but fossil fuels have additionally undergone extreme conditions over a long period of time and are thus more energy dense. Microorganisms and plants fix CO2 from the atmosphere and incorporate the carbon into the organic molecules that are a part of their structure. They use energy from the sun to power this synthesis of organic material. This energy stored in carbohydrates can be released by, for example, cutting down a tree and using it as firewood to heat a house. Firewood is an example of a biomass fuel. Fossil fuels are similar to biomass in that their creation also begins with microorganisms and plants using energy from the sun to fix CO2 into carbohydrates. But there are several more steps in the creation of fossil fuels. The organisms die, are buried deep below earths crust, exposed to extreme temperatures and pressures, and converted into petroleum or coal. All of this occurs over a geologic timescale, millions of years. So today when we burn fossil fuels we are releasing the energy stored from the sun millions of years ago. Since fossil fuels have aged for so long and are exposed to such extreme conditions below earths crust, they have a much greater energy density than biomass fuels.
How do you control Carbon dioxide concentration in photosynthesis?
Many countries, as well as individual states, cities and citizens, are taking some or all of the steps below:Move to renewable energy.Stop burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).Cultivate big trees and encourage reforestation and afforestation.Change cement manufacturing practices to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.Improve agricultural practices to minimise methane emissions.
What are three steps you would suggest to limit the green house effect?
We can slow down the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming, by cutting down our burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which put carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Another way is planting billions of trees, to remove some of this carbon dioxide from the air.
Why does recycling aluminum save electricity?
The process of finding boxite ore, mining it, transporting it, refining it, smelting it produces aluminum (aluminium to you Brits) ingots. Electricity is used in nearly all of those steps. Most of those steps are eliminated by taking old aluminum cans, etc. (nearly pure aluminum) and melting it down to produce aluminum ingots.
