Why is carbon dioxide not used as an fuel as cow dunk is used as to generate biomass energy though it is a waste and carbon dioxide is also a waste then also why it is not used to generate energy?

Carbon Dioxide doesn't burn, "Cow dunk" contains methane which does burn.

How could power stations reduce the amount of carbon dioxide they produce?
There are many ways to generate electricity. Methods that burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) produce carbon dioxide. Methods using renewable energy do not. Nuclear power plants, although uranium in non-renewable, do not produce carbon dioxide. Power stations could be rebuilt to use different fuel sources. Biomass and biofuel will power a coal fired power station without emitting the carbon dioxide pollution.
How carbon from the atmosphere enters the human body and generate energy?
The body cannot burn Carbon from the atmosphere. The body burns carbohydrates to generate energy and emits Carbon Dioxide as a waste product. All plants, from gigantic redwoods to microscopic algae consume Carbon Dioxide and, using sunlight and water, produce Oxygen for us to breath and carbohydrates for us to eat. That is the cycle.
The products of respiration are energy and carbon dioxide and?
the products of respiration are energy,carbon dioxide,and
Which part of photosynthesis is water carbon dioxide and energy used?
In photosynthesis, light energy is captured by chloroplasts and used to knock an electron from watermolecules. The freed electrons are used to generate glucose sugars (used for the plant's growth and survival) from carbon dioxide, with water and oxygen as byproducts.
Why does the carbon dioxide released by burning biomass not result in global warming?
Biomass (burning of plant material) does release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, but it is CO2 that was recently taken out of the atmosphere (when the plants were growing) so it doesn't add extra CO2 or cause global warming. Burning biomass then is part of the natural carbon cycle which moves CO2 in and out of the atmosphere.The carbon dioxide that comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) was taken out of the atmosphere millions of years ago, so releasing it now is adding extra CO2 (and causing global warming).This is why biomass is renewable energy and much better than fossil fuels.
How can biomass energy be negative to the enviorment?
it releases carbon dioxide
How can biomass energy be negative to the environment?
it release carbon dioxide
How does the sun get into biomass?
Energy gets into biomass when planets use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar.
What is one difference between using nuclear energy and biomass energy?
Nuclear energy does not produce carbon dioxide.
Why is biomass good?
advantages of biomass energy is that it 1. can be found almost everywhere and 2. it is cheap
Is biomass a green energy source?
Yes . . even though biomass fuel contains carbon, and burning it creates carbon dioxide, nevertheless it is green because the process that produced the biomass fuel took an equal amount of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere when the substances were being created, in the last few years at the most.
What is the uses of renewable energy?
It is used to generate electricity, without the carbon dioxide emissions of non-renewable energy.
Why is biomass like fossil fuels?
They are both burned to release energy. They both emit carbon dioxide when burnt. However fossil fuel releases 300-million-year-old carbon dioxide, so it adds to global warming. Biomass releases carbon dioxide that was removed from the atmosphere when the plants grew, so it is part of the carbon cycle, NOT contributing to global warming.
How is biomass generated?
Biomass is generated by plant life. Plants take carbon dioxide out of the air and combine this with water using the energy they captured from sunlight to make sugars.
How could power stations reduce the amount of carbon dioxide they produce?
There are many ways to generate electricity. Methods that burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) produce carbon dioxide. Methods using renewable energy do not. Nuclear power plants, although uranium in non-renewable, do not produce carbon dioxide. Power stations could be rebuilt to use different fuel sources.

How carbon from the atmosphere enters the human body and generate energy?
The body cannot burn Carbon from the atmosphere. The body burns carbohydrates to generate energy and emits Carbon Dioxide as a waste product. All plants, from gigantic redwoods to microscopic algae consume Carbon Dioxide and, using sunlight and water, produce Oxygen for us to breath and carbohydrates for us to eat. That is the cycle.
Is geothermal energy carbon neutral?
Yes. There are no carbon dioxide emissions from a geothermal power plant. Only the heat from underground providing steam to generate electricity.
