That would be carbon dioxide (CO2).

The amount of carbon compounds (like CO2) that the creation or use of a given fuel source releases into the environment is known as its carbon footprint.

What are the similarities between biomass and fossil fuels?

Both biomass and fossil fuels are sources of energy derived from organic matter. They are used for electricity generation, heating, and transportation. Both biomass and fossil fuels release carbon dioxide when burned, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.


How are biomass fuels and fossil fuels alike?

Biomass fuels and fossil fuels are both sources of energy that can be used to generate electricity and heat. They are both derived from organic matter, with biomass fuels coming from recent plant material and fossil fuels coming from ancient plant and animal remains. Both types of fuel release carbon dioxide when burned, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.


What is released by plants and fossil fuels when they are burned?

CO2 and fire


In which way is biomass useful?

Many biomass fuels can significantly reduce carbon emissions if they are used to displace fossil fuels. Some types of biomass can also be converted into liquid which can be used for vehicles. Biomass fuels can be cheaper than fossil fuels in many circumstances. It is renewable and is not dependent on fossil fuels. While biomass can be used directly, it can be used to produce higher forms of fuels. Listen to mia. she knows everything.


What is in fossil fuels?

In a fossil fuel is different fuels that have been burned


When fossil fuels are burned which gas is released into the atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide (CO2).


Are field crops fossil fuels or biomass fuels?

Field crops are considered biomass fuels, as they are derived from biological sources such as plants. Fossil fuels, on the other hand, are derived from ancient organic matter that has been transformed over millions of years.


When fossil fuels burned what happened?

When fossil fuels are burned, carbon dioxide is released into the environment. This can influence the greenhouse effect and increase global warming. Coal is the fossil fuel that produces the most carbon dioxide emission.


In what way are biomass and fossil fuels similar?

Fossil fuels and biomass fuels have similar origins. Firewood is an example of a biomass fuel. Fossil fuels are similar to biomass in that their creation also begins with microorganisms and plants using energy from the sun to fix CO2 into carbohydrates but there are several more steps in the creation of fossil fuels.


What is the uses for fossile fuels?

Wood is not a fossil, it is biomass


What is the original source of biomass and fossil fuels?

The Sun.


Which type of energy is stored in fossil fuels?

Chemical energy is stored in fossil fuels, resulting from the organic matter that underwent decomposition over millions of years. This energy is released when the fossil fuels are burned or combusted.
