Comsumtion of human on fossil fuel How it effect on are environment?
burning fossil fuel releases greenhouse gases which cause global warming, also extraction of these fuels alter the environment it was in
What type of fuel produces greenhouse gases?
Biomass
Is electricity produced by burning greenhouse gases?
When coal and oil are burnt to generate electricity, they are converted almost entirely to greenhouse gases. When natural gas is burnt to generate electricity, some of it is converted to water and some is converted to carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Because of this, natural gas is preferable as a fuel, compared to coal and oil. Generating electricity from wind, water flow (hydro-electricity), solar energy and hot rocks (geothermal electricity) emits no greenhouse gases.
How does conserving energy stop greenhouse gases from getting into the atmosphere?
Most energy (electricity and transport) comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). When fossil fuels burn, they emit carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. So if you save energy, then not so much fossil fuel is burnt and less greenhouse gases go into the air.
What is one major disadvantage of fossils fuel?
It produces greenhouse gases and that's causing global warming
Is fossil fuel diesel or biodiesel?
Diesel oil is a fossil fuel.Bio diesel oil is a renewable fuel that adds to carbon dioxide to the greenhouse gases (it moves carbon dioxide in and out of the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle).
Why do you need biofuels?
We need biofuel because we can use it to power diesel vehicles without adding to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide released from biofuel was removed recently from the air when the plants were grown. This is part of the carbon cycle and does not increase global warming. Burning fossil fuel increases the greenhouse gases causing global warming (carbon from fossil fuel has been hidden underground for millions of years).

Why CNG is used as a fuel over diesel?
Natural gas burns very cleanly, and does not contribute to smog (although it does contribute to greenhouse gases), it gives excellent mileage and is less expensive, per mile of travel, than diesel fuel.
What type of greenhouse gases comes from transport?
Transport mostly runs on oil, which is a fossil fuel. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas which is contributing to global warming.
What type of fuel produces greenhouse gases?
Biomass
What kind of gases are release when fuel are burned?
Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2).

What greenhouse gases are produced by transportation?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is emitted whenever gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel or petrol is burnt. Electric trains and other vehicles mostly use electricity generated in coal-burning power plants, so they are also responsible for carbon dioxide emissions.
How does minimizing rocket flights protect the ozone layer?
Rocket fuel contain greenhouse gases which cause ozone depletion. Minimizing them will do benefit.
What is causing the greenhouse effect to work overtime?
The extra greenhouse gases that we are adding to the atmosphere by burning coal, oil and natural gas (fossil fuel). We also cut down a lot of forests that used to take carbon dioxide out of the air.
