Is timber a fossil fuel

Answer 1

No, it is not an example of a fossil fuel.

Wood, although it is a renewable resource, is also not a renewable fuel source for the simple reason that use as a major fuel source would quickly outstrip our ability to replenish it. Evidence: the world wide destruction of rain forests and woodlands.

Answer 2

No, if you could burn petrified wood it would be a "fossil fuel", but since it is entirely lithified that is not possible. Wood should be considered a "bio - fuel" as no "fossilization" forces (heat, pressure, time) have been exerted upon it to change it markedly from its original configuration.

Answer 3

No, fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are formed from those plants and trees which have been dead more than 300 million years ago. They are usually under a lot of pressure from the earth above them.

Answer 4

No, it is a biomass. Therefore charcoal is created from biomass by a flash fire at an elevated pressure in biomass. the fire spreads through the biomass, turning it into charcoal.

Answer 5

Wood is not a fossil, it is biomass

Answer 6
