What else can I help you with?
The most popular energy used in private homes come from?
Electricity from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
How is the electricity for daily use created?
Most comes from burning fossil fuels, coal and natural gas, about 20 percent nuclear, 7 percent hydro, and small amounts from wind, solar, and biomass.
What percent of the world's electricity generated using gas?
In 2011, twenty-one percent of the world's electricity was generated using gas. Physicists expect that number to rise to twenty-five percent by 2040.
Is Gas more energy efficient for Cooking?
Gas cooking should be more energy efficient than electric, as the thermal energy from burning the gas goes directly into the food in the pan, whereas if the gas is used in a power plant you probably lose about 60 percent of the energy, only 40 percent goes into making the electricity
What are u doing about the electric car?
The problem with electric cars is, where does the electricity come from to charge them up? Most electricity is generated by burning coal or oil. Some is hydroelectric, and some is generated by burning natural gas. If you are burning oil or natural gas to generate electricity for your electric car, you are WASTING half of it; it would be better to carry the oil or natural gas with you, and use it for fuel. The only electricity source that really makes sense for electric cars is something that cannot be made portable, and produces less total pollution that burning gas; nuclear or hydroelectric powerplants. Unfortunately, there isn't nearly enough nuclear or hydro power to waste on electric cars.
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.
What are 4 useful burning reactions?
I don't know for but I do know three which are: burning gas to cook food, burning coal to make electricity and burning diesel to run a car or bus, etc.
Does gas cause white smoke to come out the muffulers?
yes but if it is black it is burning gas
Why is nuclear energy important?
It produces about 20 percent of US electricity and about 15 percent world wide. It does not produce greenhouse gases so is preferable to burning coal, for that reason. It can be expanded by building more plants, and with easy access to natural gas diminishing this is useful
Where does sulferdioxide come from?
comes from the burning of coal gas, oil..
How much electricity does gas produce?
Gas-fired power plants generate electricity by burning natural gas to heat water and produce steam to turn turbines. The amount of electricity generated by gas depends on factors such as the efficiency of the power plant and the quantity of gas burned per unit of time. On average, natural gas power plants can convert about 50% of the energy in the gas into electricity.
Which fumes come out of your cars that affect global warming?
Carbon dioxide (CO2), emitted by cars and all transport, is a greenhouse gas caused by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
