Why do you use biomass rather than using fossil fuel?
Biomass energy is renewable as Fossil Fuels are not
One advantage of using fossil fuels rather than biomass?
Fossil Fuels are convenient and easy to use, they also generate a lot of Energy.By: MI
What are ten alternative energy resources rather than fossil fuels?
Solar. Wind.
What is one advantage of using wind turbines rather than burning fossil fuel to produce electricity?
One advantage is that we get energy to support our lifestyle without having to dump carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is bad for the environment, you only have to look at the planet Venus with a 95% carbon dioxide atmosphere and global warming with surface temperatures of 400-500 degrees C.
What are two other benefits of using hydroelectiric rather than fossil fuels as a source of energy?
The enerrgy is cleaner and it is a renewable resource
How are nuclear power plants different from other plants?
The source of the energy is the nuclear reactor, rather than a furnace for burning fossil fuels.
What does fossil fuels use to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy?
This appears to be rather a confused question. Fossil fuels have chemical energy, not mechanical energy. The chemical energy is usually converted to thermal energy by burning the fuel. The thermal energy is used to generate steam which is used to drive turbines and so convert it to mechanical energy. Finally, the turbines generate electrical energy..I suppose it is possible to throw lumps of coal or shoot jets of oil at a rotor and so make it spin like a turbine. That is probably the only way in which mechanical energy can be obtained directly from fossil fuels.
Photosynthetic bacteria obtain energy by removing electrons from inorganic molecules?
Bacteria that obtain their energy by removing electrons from inorganic molecules, rather than obtaining energy from the sun, are called chemoautotrophic. In general, organisms, that obtain their energy from sunlight are called photoautotrophs.
Are fossil fuels used in Britain?
Yes. When burning coal, this is a fossil fuel. Also, fossil fuels provide every day energy like heating homes and cooking food. Britain is now trying to rely on its own sources rather than other countries. Hope this helps :-)
Give one advantage of using wind rather than coal as an energy resource?
Wind is renewable and coal is non-renewable . =P
One advantage of using wind turbines rather than burning fossil fuels to produce electricity?
No air or water pollution as from burning fossil fuel. No chance of running out of wind. No territorial disputes over ownership of wind. No interruptions due to striking miners or civil war.
Give an example where corrosion is an advantage rather than a disadvantage?
Aluminium oxide is an example of corrosion of advantage rather than disvantage
