It's easier to get energy from things like gasoline because the fuel has a very high percentage of carbon. The other component of fuel needed for combustion is oxygen, but that does not have to be carried in a tank because it can be taken from the atmosphere through an air filter.

1 kg of fossil fuel burns with about 3.5 kg of oxygen to produce 3.1 kg of carbon dioxide and 1.4 kg of water vapour.

Why are energy sources called fossil fuels?

Not all energy sources come from fossil fluels. Fossil fuel energy sources are coal, crude oil. None fossil fuels energy sources are wind power, solar power, tidal power. It is arguable for atomic power , using uranium .


Which of these energy sources is a fossil fuel?

What are energy sources other than fossil fuels?

Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy, are alternative options to fossil fuels for generating power. Nuclear energy is another non-fossil fuel source that can provide substantial energy output.


What is dilute energy?

Dilute energy refers to energy that is spread out over a large area or volume, resulting in a lower concentration of energy per unit. This can include forms of energy like sunlight and wind that are less concentrated compared to more traditional sources of energy like fossil fuels. Dilute energy sources often require more advanced technology or infrastructure to capture and utilize effectively.


What are other energy besides fossil fuels?

Fossil fuel is not energy its a energy source and yes there is more energy sources besides the fossil fuel like coal and others.


Why do we need to improve sources of energy that are not fossil fuels?

since fossil fuels can be found almost anywhere in the world we need to improve sources of energy so that they are around the world............


What nonrenewable energy source?

nonrenewable energy sources are sources that are depleted sources as fossil fuels (wood, coal, natural gas, and oil)


What energy comes from things besides fossil fuels?

Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, and biomass are alternative sources of energy that do not rely on fossil fuels. These sources generate energy in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
