What happens to the lost energy when fossil fuel is used to generate electricity?

Energy is never lost, it is transformed into different types or transferred into different systems. Some of this is useful energy, for example thermal energy used to power a turbine or generator. Some of this thermal energy is not useful, and instead just heats up the fuel container or components of the generator. This energy has still come from the fossil fuel being burned, but it has not been transferred into the system for generating electricity.

Worst to best way to generate electricity?
Worst to best way to generate electricity: 1.)Nuclear Energy 2.)Fossil Fuels 3.)Solar Energy 4.)Wind Energy 5.)Hydroelectric 6.)Geothermal Energy
What are some disadvantages of wind energy source?
wind is not friendly to the environment ,as fossil fuels are not burnt to generate electricity.
How are fossil fuels used in a power station to generate energy?
fossil fuels are burned to create steam which turns these huge turbines which produces electricity hope this helped it is also a form of energy
How does solar energy reduce the use of fossil fuels?
Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels. But the use of solar energy should hopefully reduce the need of fossil fuels to create energy, so therefore the more we can use solar power as an energy source instead of fossil fuels, the more we reduce the use of fossil fuels.
Give two examples of where renewable energy resources could be used instead of fossil fuels?
Is wind a fossil energy?
Sort of.Wind turbines generate electricity,wich is a fossil fuel.
How do fossil fuels nuclear energy and solar energy generate electricity in the same way?
becase there weird
Worst to best way to generate electricity?
Worst to best way to generate electricity: 1.)Nuclear Energy 2.)Fossil Fuels 3.)Solar Energy 4.)Wind Energy 5.)Hydroelectric 6.)Geothermal Energy
Which fossil fuel is used to generate electricity?
All fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are used to generate electricity.
What is the most common way to generate electricity?
I think the most common way to generate electricity is from fossil fuels like coal and gas. Another way to get electricity is from hydroelectricity. Wind energy is the third most common energy resource.
How does fossil fuels generate electrical energy energy transfer diagram?
Well, fossil fuels are burned which heat boilers, this creates steam which spins turbinescreating electricity.
How are fossil fuels used to generate energy?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are burnt in vehicles and electricity power plants. This releases the energy.
What are the alternate ways to generate electricity instead of fossil fuels?
geothermic wind solar hydro nuclear energy
What are some disadvantages of wind energy source?
wind is not friendly to the environment ,as fossil fuels are not burnt to generate electricity.
What produce or makes electricity is to it?
generate
Can fossil fuels be burned to produce thermal energy that can boil water and produce steam?
Yes, that is how they are used to generate electricity.
How are fossil fuels used in a power station to generate energy?
fossil fuels are burned to create steam which turns these huge turbines which produces electricity hope this helped it is also a form of energy
