Why are fossil fuels and biomass useful sources of energy?

They both burn easily with lots of heat.


What are the arguments for uranium mining?

Uranium is a very useful metal and specially is an alternative source of energy to fossil fuels.Uranium must be exploited.


In which way is biomass useful?

Many biomass fuels can significantly reduce carbon emissions if they are used to displace fossil fuels. Some types of biomass can also be converted into liquid which can be used for vehicles. Biomass fuels can be cheaper than fossil fuels in many circumstances. It is renewable and is not dependent on fossil fuels. While biomass can be used directly, it can be used to produce higher forms of fuels. Listen to mia. she knows everything.


What state in the US uses biomass energy?

People all around the world uses biomass. it's useful for helping the earth, im not kidding


Wood leaves and manure belong to a group of renewable energy sources called what?

The term Biomass refers to biological material, usually plant-derived materials. Biomass is a generic term however and can refer to any material that was of biological origin. One normally requires that the material retain the basic organic make up of the living organism, this coal is not considered biomass but dead plants are biomass. Coal has been substantially changed chemically since it was biomass millions of years ago. Manure can be considered biomass since it can retain a large portion of the original chemical makeup of the plants which were the original source. Biomass is relevant to renewable energy because it sometimes contains a substantial amount of chemical energy that was present in the original biological organism. When you burn a log, you get energy from biomass. Many forms of biomass are not useful as a potential source of energy. Bacteria and fungi constitute a large fraction of the currently living biomass on Earth and there is no practical plan to collect it for use as biofuel, but that is an active area of research.


Why do we need alternative energy to fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are damaging our environment with greenhouse gases. We need to get renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen) working everywhere so we can stop burning coal and oil. Fossil fuels are not renewable. There is only a limited supply. We need to keep fossil oil for making plastic, a really useful invention.


Why is glycogen useful?

Glycogen is the source of energy in muscles


Does biomass energy harm wildlife habitats?

Burning biomass (plant and wood material) should not harm wildlife habitats, if the vegetation comes from the residue of farm crops. In some parts of the world the stalks of sugar cane (bagasse) are burnt after the sugar has been extracted. This is useful. Other farm crops (corn etc) can be used. If wildlife habitats are cut down for biomass then they will obviously be harmed and the animals endangered. This is not proper management. Biomass is being used today because it is a way of generating electricity without adding to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Biomass is renewable energy and better than burning fossil fuels.


Why cant you recycle high-quality energy resources?

Energy varies in its quality and ability to do useful work. Once a piece of coal or a tank full of gasoline is burned, its high-quality potential energy is lost forever. This means that the net useful, or high-quality energy available from fossil fuels, uranium, or any concentrated energy source is even less than predicted by the first energy law (1st law of thermodynamics).


Why does nuclear fusion hold promise as an energy source?

because its really useful


How can dense hot minerals be useful to humans?

They are a source of heat for geothermal energy.


Which energy source is the most useful?

water because it never runs out and it is renewable
