The dirtiest fossil fuel to burn is coal. When coal is burned, it releases a high amount of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter into the atmosphere, contributing significantly to air pollution and climate change. Coal combustion also produces ash and other waste products that can contaminate water sources and harm ecosystems. As a result, many countries are transitioning away from coal towards cleaner energy sources to reduce environmental impacts.
What else can I help you with?
Is geothermal energy a fossil fuel?
No. Fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas. Geothermal energy is a clean renewable energy powered by the heat from the centre of the earth. It is the only renewable energy whose power does not come from the sun.
Which gas is used when fossil fuels burn carbon dioxide or oxygen?
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.
Is rocket fuel a fossil fuel?
Yes it is a fossil fuel.
Do power plants burn fossil fuels?
Some power plants do. Any plant that burns oil, coal, or gas from underground resources could be considered a "fossil fuel" plant. There are however nuclear, solar, hydro-electric and wind powered power plants.
Do people burn fossil fuels?
People burn fossil fuels when they drive a car or a lorry, or they run a gas cooker. In all these appliances, fossil fuel is directly burned in the appliance, which gives off carbon dioxide. People also burn fossil fuels indirectly when they use electric energy in the home. In this case the burning takes place in the nearest working power plant, where the fuel is used to generate steam that drives a turbine and that in turn drives the electrical power generator. Most power plants run on fossil fuel, but not all of them. In a power plant the fuel usage is closely linked to the amount of energy being taken. So turning off appliances that are nor being used reduces the fuel used and the carbon dioxide put into the atmosphere.
Does a fossil fuel burn in the air?
All fuels that 'burn' require air or an oxygen source for combustion. Therefore,fossil fuel also burn in the air.
What do you call gas and oil that you burn?
Fuel. Fossil Fuel.
What fossil fuels burn?
Natual gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel.
What fossil fuels do we burn in power stations?
they burn fossil fuels like coal, fuel oil, and oil shale
How is fossil fuel transformed to useable energy?
i THINK YOU BURN IT
Slogans on judicious use of fossil fuels?
its cruel to burn fuel
How does Liquid Natural Gas work as a fuel?
Natural gas works as a fossil fuel because you BURN it and it turns into heat and energy exactly like a fossil fuel.
How does fossil fuel work?
You burn it; it gives off heat; you use the heat.
Why does it matter if you burn fossil fuels?
When we burn fossil fuels, that fossil fuel is gone. *POOF!* And it'll take millions of years for the nonrenewable resource to form again. Therefore we need to conserve fossil fuels as much as possible.
Why isn't water a fossil fuel?
Water isn't a fossil fuel because it is not a fossil and it will not burn, having already been completely oxidized. If you want, you can think of it as the ash resulting from burning hydrogen.
How is a fossil fuel transformed into other types of energy?
Well it is pretty simple, you burn it.
How energy harnessed from fossil fuel?
You burn them in some type of engine to extract their energy.
