What else can I help you with?
Does cooking with vegetable oil help the environment?
No, cooking with vegetable oil has no benefit to the environment.Using vegetable oil to run your diesel vehicle, on the other hand, does help the environment, because burning vegetable oil (unlike fossil fuel oil) does not add extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. (The carbon dioxide released was removed from the atmosphere recently, when the vegetable was grown, part of the carbon cycle.)
How much carbon dioxide is released when vegetable oil is burnt as fuel?
You would probably need to know what type of vegetable oil and what quantity. However, from a global warming point of view, it does not matter because burning a renewable resource like vegetable oil does not make a nett addition to global carbon dioxide concentrations. Vegetable oil is produced by growing a crop, which absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. After harvesting the crop, we can consume it, burn it or simply let it rot on the ground. This is known as the natural carbon cycle, in which carbon dioxide is absorbed from the air and then eventually returned to the air, with no chnage in long-term carbon dioxide levels. This differs from burning fossil fuels which do actually add to atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.
What gas do animals give off in the dark?
It's usually Premium Unleaded, however due to the rise in Oil Prices, they have converted to diesel.
How many carbon atoms are there in vegetable oil?
Organic materials and organic materials including vegetable oil is made ​​from carbohydrates.
How does biofuel work?
Biofuel is any kind of oil (vegetable oil) or organic burnable material (biomass) that is not fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas). Biofuel is renewable because it comes from plants or algae that grew recently, and removed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while growing. When burnt, this carbon dioxide (CO2) is returned to the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle, making biofuel carbon-neutral. So it does not contribute to global warming.
What elements does vegetable oil contain?
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
What process will give off more carbon dioxide?
Burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere compared to other processes. This is due to the high carbon content of these fuels.
What are the main gases of the greenhouse?
Burning of coal, oil (including gasoline), and natural gas to produce carbon dioxide. Also decomposing of vegetable and animal matter to produce methane.
What is pollution made from?
carbon dioxide,and oil
How does Fossil Fuel formation remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are made from vegetable and other organic matter. These all took carbon dioxide from the atmosphere when they grew. They were all trapped and compressed, including their carbon, more than 300 million years ago.
How do producers use CO2?
Oil producers use carbon dioxide in enhanced recovery operations to recover more oil from depleted formations. To do this they pump carbon dioxide into strategically placed wells to drive the oil towards an extraction well. The oil enhances recovery by driving the oil along and by reducing the viscosity by reducing the average molecular weight of the oil. Thinner oil flows better. The carbon dioxide is obtained from manufacturers, carbon dioxide wells and from the produced oil.
What is car pollution made from?
