What source of energy does not produce carbon dioxide when it is used?

∙ 12y ago
Wind energy being used in wind mill would not produce CO2
Nuclear power plants would not produce CO2
Hydropower would not produce CO2
Why not? Solar energy in case of solar cells would not produce CO2

nuclear power
wind power
geothermal power
wave power
tidal power
however these are not completely free of producing carbon dioxide, an example is the wind turbines. they are made of steel which produces carbon dioxide, therefore the making of the wind turbine produces carbon dioxide.

What is the source of energy behind the carbon cycle?
Solar energy is the source of energy behind the carbon cycle.
What is the ultimate source of energy in coal oil and wood?
Carbon
What are the main environmental implications of using nuclear fuels as an energy source?
Good: no pollution due to carbon dioxide or sulfur or other nasties Bad: the need to store the spent fuel safely for hundreds if not thousands of years
How did bacteria change early earths atmosphere?
Earth's early atmosphere was primarily composed of carbon dioxide. Early bacteria used carbon dioxide as a source of fuel and as a result produced oxygen.
What materials are needed for photosynthesis?
The materials that are needed for photosynthesis are carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil, and sunlight as an energy source. Chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants, is needed as a catalyst to perform photosynthesis.There are other requirements that vary by plant, including nitrogen and other elements within a plant. However, once the plant is functional it uses:chlorophyll (in chloroplasts)light energy (sunlight or artificial)water (typically collected by roots)carbon dioxide (absorbed through the leaves
Give one advantage of nuclear energy as energy source?
It does not produce carbon dioxide
During photosynthesis plants use what as a carbon source to produce sugars for energy?
The Carbon source for photosynthesis is the air
What energy source would produce the most carbon dioxide?
Industrailisation.
Why is wind power considered a clean energy source?
Because it does not produce carbon dioxide
What is the number one energy source in the oxygen carbon dioxide cycle?
Sunlight is the most important energy source in an oxygen carbon dioxide life cycle.
What is needed to make sugar in photosynthesis?
the energy source is sun. Pigments absorbing energy.
How is energy used in making food?
carbon dioxide in air and sun is source of energy
What is the energy that joins carbon dioxide and water?
Energy source is sun. It combines with results.
What is a plant's primary source of carbon?
A plant's primary source of carbon is the air, where carbon is found in the form of carbon dioxide. Plants also need carbon dioxide, water, and light energy for photosynthesis that occurs in plant leaves.
What energy source does not increase carbon dioxide levels in the environment?
Any energy source that is renewable does not increase carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the environment. Examples of renewable energy are solar, wind, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal and biofuel.
What energy source causes carbon dioxide?
Burning any of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide.
What is the source of the oxygen ?
trees. Trees produce oxygen and in return we give them Co2 (carbon dioxide).
