What type of energy released greenhouse gases when used to make electricity?
Burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas to generate electricity releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. These gases contribute to global warming and climate change.
Why is coal helpful?
I supplies a lot of the earth with energy and provides electricity to many countries.
Is electricity produced by burning greenhouse gases?
When coal and oil are burnt to generate electricity, they are converted almost entirely to greenhouse gases. When natural gas is burnt to generate electricity, some of it is converted to water and some is converted to carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Because of this, natural gas is preferable as a fuel, compared to coal and oil. Generating electricity from wind, water flow (hydro-electricity), solar energy and hot rocks (geothermal electricity) emits no greenhouse gases.
How does coal assist in making electricity?
You burn coal to boil water into steam which drives turbines that spin dynamos that produce electricity.
What is coal fired electricity?
To make electricity, the most common way is to burn something that heats water that creates steam that runs a fan/turbine. Coal fired electricity is when the thing that is burnt is coal.
How do you use water electricity?
Electricity is electricity . . . it does not matter whether it was created by falling water, burning coal or oil, or by a nuclear power plant.
How much water required to generate 1000kwh of electricity from coal?
it takes 800 gallons of water to make 1 megawatt-hour of electricity (1000 kWh).
How does electricity be genorated by coal?
Coal is burned which produces heat, the heat is used to boil water which then is used to drive a steam turbine which then produces electricity.
What natural resources is used to make electricity?
coal and static electricity like sparks
How can coal on the surface cause water pollution?
water that flows though coal can pick up poisonous metals.that water can then flow into streams and lakes and pollute water supplies
How electricity is made from coal?
Coal is burned in a power plant to heat water and produce steam. The steam rotates a turbine connected to a generator, which produces electricity. The electricity is then sent through power lines to homes and businesses for use.
Is smoke released when coal is generated into electricity?
Yes, since power generation from coal is mainly dependent on combustion (burning) of coal, which releases a lot of CO2 , CO and some other gases (smoke).
