Power stations typically burn fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, or oil to generate electricity. The burning of these fuels produces heat, which is used to produce steam that drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity.

What do power stations burn most often?

Power stations most often burn fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil to generate electricity. These fuels are readily available and economically viable for large-scale electricity production.


What power stations produce CO2?

Most power stations that burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas produce CO2 as a byproduct of combustion. These fossil fuel power stations are major contributors to CO2 emissions and climate change.


Plant that burns waste to produce electricity?

Biomass power stations. (Regular power stations that burn coal can easily be converted to burning biomass (vegetation), reducing pollution, just by changing the fuel.)


How is wood used as a source of energy in our daily lives?

How is liquid biofuel use to generate electricity?

Liquid biofuel will burn in much the same as fossil fuel oil, so it will even run the same power stations. The simplest form of electricity generation is to use steam to turn a turbine which generates electricity. Biofuel is thus used to boil water into steam.


What are two things that burn fossil fuel?

Power stations and auto mobiles are two things that use fossil fuels.


Where does fuel for power stations come from?

Presuming you mean fuel that is burned, coal, oil and gas come from underground mines and wells. Some experimental or small scale stations burn rubbish or biomass such as elephant grass grown for the purpose. Nuclear stations don't burn anything, but their raw material is often called fuel. This is often uranium, which is also mined.


Nuclear power stations pollute the nature?

yes. they are one of the major source of air pollution. they burn a lot of fossil fuel that is harmful to the environment.
