By increasing the use of solar energy, we can reduce the use of oil, gas, and/or coal, thereby reducing the production and release of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide into the atmosphere. That could help us to become carbon neutral.

How can solar energy help Maldives to become a carbon neutral country?

The Maldives could use solar panels to harness (free) sunlight and produce electricity. This would mean they will become less dependent on (costly) fossil fuels - the burning of which is the main source of air-borne carbon.


What is the source of energy the carbon cycle?

Solar energy is the source of energy behind the carbon cycle.


How do trees affect solar energy?

Trees use solar energy for photosynthesis, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and using the carbon to grow. They don't affect solar energy in any way.


Does solar energy have Carbon Oxide in it?

No, Solar Power is not a Chemical Compound.


How does solar power reduce carbon emissions?

By its self it does not reduce carbon emissions. What it does do is provide an alternative source of energy that does not create any more carbon emissions. Though, this will only become effective when solar energy is more cost effective than carbon based energy.


What is the source of energy behind the carbon cycle?

Solar energy is the source of energy behind the carbon cycle.


What advantage does solar energy have over fossil fuels?

Solar energy emits no carbon dioxide emissions. It is free and renewable.


What adds less carbon dioxide to the atmosphere than burning fossil fuels?

Burning any fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide. Burning bio-fuels is more or less carbon neutral since the carbon dioxide used to grow the plant material is taken from the atmosphere, which goes back to the atmosphere after the fuel is burned. It is essentially biologically stored solar energy. The cleanest energy sources are solar, wind, tidal, hydro-electric, and nuclear.


Why is solar energy is sometimes called a clean energy?

carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.


What do leaves do with solar energy?

Leaves use the solar energy combined with water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and sugar, or energy. This process is called photosynthesis.


When will solar energy become accessible to the public?

It is. You can get a solar pannel to put on your house and do some adjustments and you have solar energy and you are public. That was your question, right?


A type of energy that comes from the sun?

Solar energy is a type of energy that comes from the sun and is harnessed using solar panels to generate electricity or heat water. Solar energy is a renewable and sustainable source of power that can help reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change.
