Coal is the fossil fuel that emits the most carbon dioxide when burned, due to its high carbon content compared to other fossil fuels like oil and natural gas.
Fossil fuel (hydrocarbon) + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy
When fossil fuels burn, oxygen is used as the gas that reacts with the carbon in the fuel to produce carbon dioxide. This process is known as combustion and is the reason why carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct of burning fossil fuels.
Diesel fuel, regular gas, and fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon that has been stored underground into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. This process is known as the combustion of fossil fuels.
Coal is the fossil fuel that produces the most carbon dioxide when burned. It has a higher carbon content compared to other fossil fuels like oil and natural gas, leading to more CO2 emissions per unit of energy produced.
Fossil fuel (hydrocarbon) + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy
No, formation of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide.
carbon dioxide
Fossil fuel + Oxygen gas > Carbon dioxide + water + heat (apex)
oil
Yes, carbon dioxide is a gas that is produced when fossil fuels are burned. Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when they are used for energy production.
Diesel oil is a fossil fuel.Bio diesel oil is a renewable fuel that adds to carbon dioxide to the greenhouse gases (it moves carbon dioxide in and out of the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle).
Burning fossil fuels results in the combustion of hydrocarbons, releasing carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The general chemical equation for burning a hydrocarbon fuel is hydrocarbon + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy.
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
carbon dioxide
Yes, when they are burnt.
The worlds carbon dioxide emissions from the use of fossil fuels has decreased since 2002. The United States has had the largest decrease in carbon dioxide emissions.
