Biofuel has to be burnt. The heat is used to produce steam which turns electricity turbines, in much the same way as fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) power stations. This burning releases carbon dioxide, but this is a recent recycling of the gas, with no carbon footprint.

None of the other three Is burnt.

* Solar uses photovoltaic panels or focussing mirrors.

* Wind uses the motion of the wind, like hydro power.

* Geothermal uses the existing heat from under the earth to produce the steam.

How does nuclear energy use differ from geothermal and solar energy use?

Nuclear energy uses fission reactions to generate heat for electricity production, while geothermal energy uses heat from the Earth's core and solar energy uses sunlight to directly generate electricity. Both geothermal and solar energy are considered renewable sources, whereas nuclear energy produces radioactive waste that requires careful disposal. Additionally, nuclear energy plants are more complex and costly to build compared to geothermal and solar energy systems.
