Greenhouse gases are the product of combustion of which energy source?
Wiki User
∙ 15y ago
All sources of energy which combust carbon containing fuels (coal, oil, gas, wood, peat, alcohol, gasoline. diesel, biofuel, etc.) produce GHGs. Even the combustion of hydrogen in air instead of pure oxygen can create NOx compounds which are GHGs.
Nuclear, solar, wind, tide, geothermal, and hydro electrical energy is created without GHGs.

What is one benefit of geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is a renewable source of electricity, meaning it will not run out. It does not directly produce greenhouse gas emissions.
Does diesel fuel come from renewable energy source?
No! Diesel is a product of hydrocarbons, which deposits are limited and therefore not renewable energy source.
How does using Geothermal energy effect the environment?
Geothermal energy can reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by replacing energy that would have come from burning fossil fuels. It is basically a fairly clean energy source
What is the source of radiation for both the Earth's atmosphere and the greenhouse?
Sol.The Sun is the source of radiation for both the earth's atmosphere and the greenhouse effect.
What is the best reason to use a renewable source instead of relying on fossil fuels?
Renewable energy sources don't add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
By-product of wind energy?
Wind energy is a very clean source of energy and there is no by product. It does not produce any harmful greenhouse gases. Wind power consumes no fuel.
What is the source of energy in the greenhouse effect?
The Sun is the source of energy. Heat from the sun radiates up from the surface of the earth and warms the greenhouse gases.
In an internal combustion engine what is used as a source of thermal energy?
combustion
What is an advantage of using uranium as an energy source?
- no air pollution - no greenhouse effects - no fossil fuel - the most important alternative source of energy - it is the energy of the future
Identify the source of thermal energy in an internal combustion engine?
In an internal combustion engine fuel is burned in a combustion chamber or cylinder inside the engine
Why do vehicles need gasoline?
The source of energy for the non-hybrid automobiles is petrol or gasoline. The gasoline feeds into the combustion engine where it is actually the combustion that supplies the energy.
What source of thermal energy does an internal combustion engine use?
burning fuel
What source of thermal energy does a car's engine use?
The combustion of gasoline or diesel fuel
What is the source of thermal energy in an internal combustion chamber?
The output of every internal combustion engine is usually thought of as kinetic energy, but as a byproduct, thermal energy also is expelled as a result of the combustion of hydrocarbons. The primary fuel source. Additionally, much kinetic energy is also lost as a result of friction thereby also creating a thermal energy. So although the sources of both seem different, there would be no friction without first there being kinetic energy as a result of the combustion of hydrocarbon and oxygen.
What energy source releases the least amount of greenhouse gasses?
Renewable energy releases the least amount of greenhouse gas per kilowatt. After renewables come nuclear which is greenest. It has other issues though.
What are the end product of fermentation?
Alcohol and carbon dioxide (yes, here is yet another source of greenhouse gases).
What product of photosynthesis is a source of energy for the plants?
glucose
