What is the effect of conserving fuel in our environment?
If you conserve fuel in your environment it lowers the amount of carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere and it stops the earth getting warmer.
Is carbon dioxide a fuel?
Carbon dioxide cannot be used as an ordinary fuel as it is a product of the combustion of carbon.
How much carbon is released into the atmosphere each year by fossil fuel's?
Approximately 36 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere each year from burning fossil fuels. This significant amount of carbon dioxide is a leading contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
What does it mean to say that algae fuel is carbon neutral?
Carbon neutral means that algae fuel does not affect the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Algae takes in carbon dioxide as it grows, then, when the fuel is burnt, this same carbon dioxide is released. No increase, just exactly the same amount. This is why biofuel is so much better than fossil fuel which releases carbon that had been hidden underground for millions of years, so adding to the levels in the atmosphere.
How is it possible for a jet airplane carrying 110 tons of jet fuel to emit 340 tons of carbon dioxide?
When jet fuel burns, it reacts with oxygen to release carbon dioxide. The total emissions of carbon dioxide produced by burning a certain amount of jet fuel will exceed the weight of the fuel itself, as the carbon in the fuel combines with oxygen from the atmosphere. This results in the emission of more carbon dioxide than the weight of the fuel originally carried by the airplane.
Burning fossil fuels such as - can rapidly increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This increased carbon dioxide contributes to the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change.
What is the name of gas produced by the burning of fuel?
The gas produced by the burning of fuel is carbon dioxide.
How can using bio fuel help to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Bio fuel emits carbon dioxide (CO2) that was removed from the atmosphere when the plant grew (this year, probably). Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) emit carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for millions of years. So using biofuel instead of fossil fuel means that less carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere.
What type of fuel releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Diesel fuel, regular gas, and fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
What kinds of combustion fuel produce the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide?
Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas produce carbon dioxide when burned in combustion processes. Wood and biomass also produce carbon dioxide when burned. These activities contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
What is the dangers of oil as a fossil fuel?
Oil is a carbon-rich substance, and by burning it, we release a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas, so this can increase the Greenhouse Effect, which is linked to global warming.
Does ethanol release carbon dioxide when it is used as a fuel source?
Yes, ethanol releases carbon dioxide when it is used as a fuel source.
