Why isn't petrol burned in power stations?

Petrol is not typically burned in power stations because it is more commonly used as a fuel for vehicles due to its high energy density. Power stations tend to use fuels like coal, natural gas, or renewable sources such as solar or wind because they are more suitable for generating electricity on a larger scale. These fuels are often more cost-effective and efficient for power generation than petrol.


Is kerosene renewable?

Yes However some consider uranium as a fossil fuel for being extracted through mining and in the mean time they consider nuclear energy (using uranium as its fuel) is rebewable energy source for the possibility of producing more fuel (through breeders) than the consumed fissile fuel.


What are an example of fossil fuels?

The three chief fossil fuels in energy production are coal, petroleum (oil), and natural gas.Peat is also classified as a fossil fuel because its renewal rate is so very slow it is considered to be essentially non-renewable.Fossil fuels have been used for centuries to power industries and machines.


How are synthetic fuels harnessed from the earth?
