Geothermal energy can be used to generate electricity by tapping into the Earth's heat through geothermal power plants. These plants use the steam and hot water from underground sources to turn turbines and produce electricity without the need for fossil fuels. It is a renewable and sustainable energy source that can help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels for electricity generation.
Most energy (electricity and transport) comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). When fossil fuels burn, they emit carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. So if you save energy, then not so much fossil fuel is burnt and less greenhouse gases go into the air.
The heat from fossil fuels used to boil water generates high-pressure steam, which then drives a turbine connected to a generator. As the turbine spins, it converts the kinetic energy from the steam into electrical energy, which can be used to power homes and businesses.
A power plant burns fossil fuels such as coal, oil, or natural gas to heat water and produce steam. The steam then drives a turbine connected to a generator, which produces electricity. This process converts the chemical energy stored in fossil fuels into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy.
Eventually, fossil fuels will run out.Fossil fuels cause a lot of pollution.
the burning of fossil fuels creates thermal energy, which in this case is on the from of steam, which then in turn rotates a turbine
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.
Fossil Fuels =)
Fossil fuels are burned in a combustion process to produce heat energy. When fossil fuels such as coal, oil, or natural gas are burned, their chemical energy is converted into thermal energy and released as heat. This heat energy can then be used to generate steam, which drives turbines to produce electricity or for heating purposes.
No. Alternative energy means energy sources other than fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels are exhaustible. Electric energy is an alternative.
Fossil fuels.
All fuels by definition are used to produce energy, fossil fuels are no exception. (Shorter answer: Yes.)
When fossil fuels are burned, some of the chemical energy stored in them is converted into thermal energy.
chemical energy
Fossil fuels release energy as the result of ignition.
