What type of energy released greenhouse gases when used to make electricity?
coal and natural gas
Why is coal helpful?
I supplies a lot of the earth with energy and provides electricity to many countries.
Is electricity produced by burning greenhouse gases?
When coal and oil are burnt to generate electricity, they are converted almost entirely to greenhouse gases. When natural gas is burnt to generate electricity, some of it is converted to water and some is converted to carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Because of this, natural gas is preferable as a fuel, compared to coal and oil. Generating electricity from wind, water flow (hydro-electricity), solar energy and hot rocks (geothermal electricity) emits no greenhouse gases.
How does coal assist in making electricity?
You burn coal to boil water into steam which drives turbines that spin dynamos that produce electricity.
What is coal fired electricity?
To make electricity, the most common way is to burn something that heats water that creates steam that runs a fan/turbine. Coal fired electricity is when the thing that is burnt is coal.
How do you use water electricity?
Electricity is electricity . . . it does not matter whether it was created by falling water, burning coal or oil, or by a nuclear power plant.
Which type of energy releases greenhouse gases when used to make electricity?
Natural gas
What energy source supplies the majority of the world's energy?
In terms of electricity, it is still coal. Overall probably oil.
How does electricity be genorated by coal?
Coal is burned which produces heat, the heat is used to boil water which then is used to drive a steam turbine which then produces electricity.
What natural resources is used to make electricity?
coal and static electricity like sparks
Is smoke released when coal is generated into electricity?
Yes, since power generation from coal is mainly dependent on combustion (burning) of coal, which releases a lot of CO2 , CO and some other gases (smoke).
How can coal on the surface cause water pollution?
water that flows though coal can pick up poisonous metals.that water can then flow into streams and lakes and pollute water supplies
