What type of combustion fuels produces the greenhouse carbon dioxide?
Wiki User
∙ 8y ago
All carbon based fuels produce carbon dioxide when burned. These include:
- fossil fuels (coal. oil, natural gas)
- alcohols
- bio-fuels (wood, charcoal, waste burning including cremation)
- specialty industrial fuels (acetylene etc.)
- carbon monoxide
Coal and petroleum are the two primary fossil fuels. Oxidizing methane also releases CO2, but that is 25 times better than releasing methane, itself an even more potent greenhouse gas.

Which product of combustion contributes most to the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide is a product of the combustion of fossil fuels and this is contributing most to the accelerated greenhouse effect.
When a candle burns it gives off carbon dioxide and?
WATER! H2O it is a combustion reaction and every combustion reaction produces carbon dioxide and water
What produces a greenhouse gas when burned?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide (if the combustion is not complete), nitrogen and sulfur oxides.
A complete combustion always produces which two compounds?
h2o-water and co2 carbon dioxide
Is carbon dioxide a result of combustion?
Carbon dioxide is formed by the complete combustion of carbon itself or organic compounds.
What type of combustion fuels produces to the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide?
Fossil fuels
Is carbon dioxide produced from the burning of wood?
Complete combustion produces carbon dioxide. Incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide.
Which product of combustion contributes most to the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide is a product of the combustion of fossil fuels and this is contributing most to the accelerated greenhouse effect.
When a candle burns it gives off carbon dioxide and?
WATER! H2O it is a combustion reaction and every combustion reaction produces carbon dioxide and water
What happens when ethene burns what is let out?
Combustion of ethene produces carbon dioxide and water.
What produces a greenhouse gas when burned?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide (if the combustion is not complete), nitrogen and sulfur oxides.
What process produces waste carbon dioxide?
Burning (combustion) of organic substance will produce waste Carbon Dioxide. Also metabolic processes in living things produces waste Carbon Dioxide.
What are the effects of combustion and deforestation and how do they relate to the greenhouse effect?
Combustion (burning) of any material usually releases carbon dioxide, as carbon is such a major component of everything on earth. Deforestation (removal of trees) means that the trees are no longer able to take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is the greenhouse gases retaining warmth from the sun. Any increase of greenhouse gases (as carbon dioxide is) leads to a warming in the atmosphere.
Which gas is produced as a waste product by combustion and by respiration and is also a 'greenhouse gas'?
carbon dioxide
Does hydrogen combustion produce carbon?
No, burning hydrogen produces only water, it does not produce carbon or carbon dioxide.
How is the burning of cleared land contributing to greenhouse gas emissions?
Combustion releases carbon dioxide as the carbon in the organic material is joined with oxygen from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is understood to be a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps heat in the atmosphere.
How is carbon dioxide formed when petrol burns?
petrol consists of carbon and hydrogen, when it burns it produces carbon dioxide and water if complete combustion occurs
