What energy source generates the least gases?
Renewable energy produces practically no greenhouse gases, compared to fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Hydroelectric power has very little greenhouse gas emissions associated with it. Wind and solar power tend to have low emissions. Geothermal energy also has low emissions. Nuclear power has some greenhouse gas emissions associated with the mining and refining of uranium ore, but not a lot.
How do windmills slow global warming?
By using windmills to produce energy, it cuts down on energy produced via fossil fuels such as coal and oil which produce greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are the main causes of global warming. Basically, using windmills to make clean energy cuts down on the production of greenhouse gases.
What energy refers to energy sources that release very small amount of greenhouse gases?
Renewable energy. (Our manufacture [and consumption] of flat-screen TVs needs an extremely potent GreenHouse Gas! - only a mere 98.8 percent of it is recovered.)
How does nuclear power compare to hydro power and biomass energy in terms of greenhouse gas emissions?
Neither nuclear power nor hydro power produce greenhouse gases during operation. Burning biomass produces CO2, but it can be argued that during the growing of the biomass material it absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere, so it is actually neutral.
What is a major drawback to the use of ethanol based energy?
Burning ethanol releases greenhouse gases. CO2 and water vapour
What country produces the most greenhouse gases per square kilometer?
The country that produces the most greenhouse gases per square kilometer is Japan. This country is closely followed by the United Kingdom. The country that produces the most greenhouse gases per capita is Qatar.
What type of fuel produces greenhouse gases?
Biomass
Where the greenhouse gases trap energy?
In the atmosphere
Does geothermal energy emit greenhouse gases?
No, it is not.
What are gases that absorb thermal energy in the atmosphere called?
Greenhouse gases.
Which country produces the most greenhouse gases?
the United States.
What are two reasons why biomass energy might not be a good alternative energy source?
Growing plants to use for energy uses land that can be used for growing food.Burning plants produces greenhouse gases.
What energy source produces largest greenhouse gases?
The burning of coal emits more carbon dioxide than any of the other fossil fuels.
What Positive of wind energy?
There are a number of positives of wind energy. Some of them include being a free fuel, it produces zero greenhouse gases, it is also quite flexible in terms of the amount of energy produced.
which type of power production produces the least amount of greenhouse gases?
nuclear
What is the climate change that produces greenhouse gases?
Climate change does not produce greenhouse gasses. It is thought that greenhouse gasses are a major cause of climate change.
What process produces the green house effect?
Atmospheric gases, such as watervapor and carbon dioxide, absorb thermal energy and radiate it back toearth. The gases function like the glasswalls and roof of a greenhouse, allowing solar energy to enter and preventing thermal energy from escaping.
