CO2 (carbon dioxide) is produced when things are burned - for example wood, petroleum (and petroleum products such as gasoline), and coal. Most energy sources that don't rely on burning won't produce carbon dioxide. This includes nuclear energy (although nuclear energy does have other environmental problems), wave energy, geothermal energy, solar energy, and wind energy.

What the Special source of energy by ninja?
any fruit as long as its raw nothing add like with a apple no peanut butter.
What is so good about biomass?
Biomass energy is a carbon fuel that produced CO2 when burned, but that is OK because the carbon is on a short-term cycle. The carbon being put into the atmosphere is carbon that was taken out of the atmosphere as a plant grew, probably a few months or years before the biomass is being burned. So although biomass produces CO2, it is CO2 that was removed from the atmosphere relatively recently, which is sustainable.
What is the difference between bio fuels and fossil fuels?
yes they are better --> yeah, that's a good reason beind the whole thing lol. They are better because they do not add to the net amount of co2 in the atmosphere. The crops used to produce the fuel already used co2 during photosynthesis. So they do not decrease, or add to the total amount of co2, just keep it the same.
Why is the wind classified as a renewable energy source?
Because it is not exhaustible. There are limited quantities of coal and oil, but not wind. To add to that, wind power is renewable because the wind can never "run out" (and is a product of the Coriolis Effect, caused by the rotation of the earth and heat convection in the atmosphere, both natural phenomenon), so it can constantly be harnessed and used for the generation of electricity - Oscar
What is the easiest to add energy to matter?
You can raise an object (potential energy), make it move (kinetic energy), or add heat to it (heat energy, a.k.a. thermal energy).
What is the best reason to use a renewable source instead of relying on fossil fuels?
Renewable energy sources don't add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
How do humans add nitrogen to the atmosphere?
by breathing co2 back into the air. Therfore magically making it nitrogen.
Do volcanic activity and burning fossils fuel play a role in the carbon cycle?
Yes, both add CO2 to our atmosphere
How do animals add carbon to the atmosphere?
Just like humans do they breathe it out. They then remove carbon when they eat. This is part of the natural carbon cycle, and does not add extra CO2 to the atmosphere.
Does renewable energy release co2?
The well known types, Solar, Wind, Water do not. However, wood is a renewable form of fuel that when burned would produce CO2. This carbon dioxide does not add to global warming, as it was removed recently from the atmosphere while the wood was growing. So wood burning is carbon neutral.
Why does cement add CO2 to atmosphere?
The cement add carbon dioxide because lime stone is added in it. To make this Hard we use lime. Lime gives out co2 in the reaction between air and concrete. so this how co2 comes out of cement. BY SWETHAN PETER FROM RYAN GLOBAL SCHOOL GRADE 8
Does biofuel contribute to global warming?
No, biomass burns grown vegetation to produce energy. Because the vegetation grew recently, it means it took carbon out of the atmosphere recently. Burning it puts the same carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. This makes it carbon neutral.
Why does the carbon dioxide released by burning biomass not result in global warming?
Biomass (burning of plant material) does release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, but it is CO2 that was recently taken out of the atmosphere (when the plants were growing) so it doesn't add extra CO2 or cause global warming. Burning biomass then is part of the natural carbon cycle which moves CO2 in and out of the atmosphere.The carbon dioxide that comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) was taken out of the atmosphere millions of years ago, so releasing it now is adding extra CO2 (and causing global warming).This is why biomass is renewable energy and much better than fossil fuels.
Does logging really add CO2 to our atmosphere?
Yes. Trees are so important because they turn Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere into Oxygen which we need to stay alive. So, the more trees that are cut down, the more Carbon Dioxide will stay in the atmosphere.
Where does the energy add a phosphate group to ADP to form ATP come from?
Energy is needed to add a third phosphate group to ADP to make ATP. What is a cell's source of this energy?
Which processes add and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
The calvin cycle removes carbon dioxide from the air and uses it to form carbohydrates in plants. The burning of fossil fuels releases trapped carbon dioxide from the fuel and releases it back into the atmosphere.
Can Mars produce life?
If man were to colonize mars and terraform it (raising the temperature and creating an atmosphere, add oxygen and co2) mars could host life.
