In cars and trucks (oil), and in power stations (coal, oil and natural gas) to generate electricity.
In a fossil fuel is different fuels that have been burned
Fossil fuel are the substances which are burned to release energy. Some of the examples are : Coal, Crude oil, Natural gas.
Fossil fuels are burned to spin a generator which in turn produces electricity.
only carbon dioxide
Potential
no
All fossil fuel when burnt releases carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas which is causing global warming.
They are burned with oxygen to produce energy.
It can cause pollutions when burned or when it comes out from cars ect.
When fossil fuels are burned, carbon dioxide is released into the environment. This can influence the greenhouse effect and increase global warming. Coal is the fossil fuel that produces the most carbon dioxide emission.
Potential
When a fossil fuel is burned, the chemical energy stored in the fuel is converted into heat energy. This heat energy is then used to heat water, produce steam, and drive turbines to generate kinetic energy, which can be used to produce electricity or power machinery.
