You are probably thinking of waste dumps where methane is generated by the decay of organic matter, and where this methane is collected and used to produce electricity. Combustion engines can run directly from the methane coupled to a generator.

What are the waste of products made by the plant as energy is released?

The waste products made by plants during energy release are primarily carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). These waste products are produced through the process of photosynthesis in which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose (energy) and oxygen. The oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct, while the carbon dioxide and water are either used by the plant or released into the surroundings.


What is waste-to-energy?

waste to energy (wte) is the process of creating energy in the form of electricity or heat from waste sources.


What is the useful energy output and waste energy output?

Useful energy output refers to the energy that is converted into a form that can directly be used for a desired purpose, such as electricity generated from a power plant. Waste energy output, on the other hand, refers to the energy that is not converted into a useful form and is lost, typically as heat or noise, during the energy conversion process.


Should the substance be considered a waste product in elodea leaves?

In elodea leaves, the substance in question can be considered a waste product if it is produced during metabolic processes and is not utilized by the plant for growth or energy. Typically, waste products in plants include excess oxygen released during photosynthesis or byproducts of cellular respiration. If the substance accumulates and negatively affects plant health or is expelled from the plant, it reinforces the classification as a waste product. However, if it has a role in the plant's lifecycle or is repurposed, it may not be considered waste.


Does geothermal energy leave waste?

What energy happens when coal is burned in furnace of a power plant?

When coal is burned in a furnace of a power plant, the primary energy produced is thermal energy. This thermal energy is used to heat water and produce steam, which then drives a turbine to generate electricity.


Does nuclear energy produce a lot of waste?

Yes, nuclear energy does produce radioactive waste. This waste needs to be carefully managed and stored to prevent harm to the environment and public health. Research is ongoing to develop better methods for the safe disposal and recycling of nuclear waste.
