Yes, well sort of. Burning fossil fuels is the first step. These fuels heat water and turn it into steam. The steam will drive the turbines. In some cases, turbines are driven by the products of combustion of natural gas instead of steam. The rotating turbines create electricity. See related link.
Fossil fuels are things like coal, natural gas, and oil. In most countries, they are used to generate much of the electricity.
What else can I help you with?
How many fossil fuels are burned to make electricity?
The most common fossil fuels burned to generate electricity are coal, natural gas, and oil. Coal is the most widely used fossil fuel for electricity generation, followed by natural gas and then oil. These fossil fuels are burned in power plants to produce steam which drives turbines to generate electricity.
What chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels?
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
The most common cause of the rise in carbon dioxide concentration from 1960 to 1990 is an increase in what?
An increase in the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, travel and to generate electricity.
What is the main pollution created from the burning of fossil fuels?
The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas causing global warming.
Does anybody think global warming is not affected by electricity?
Global Warming is most indeedly caused by electricity, when you think of where electricity originates then there is your answer. In order to power our homes, schools, and factories we need to burn the fossil fuels first to produce electricity. Basically you get electricity from burning fossil fuels such as coal.
How do burning fossil fuels produce electricity?
They are used to run most of the power plantsthat generate electricity.
What electricity generation harms the environment the most?
Burning coal to generate electricity releases the most carbon dioxide of the fossil fuels.
The majority of the worlds electricity is supplied by burning 2 words?
fossil fuels
What percent of electricity produced in the UK comes from burning fossil fuels?
what percentage of electricity produced in the UK comes from burning fossil fuels ?
Which fossil fuel is used to generate electricity?
All fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are used to generate electricity.
What do fossil fuels give electricity to?
Well, fossil fuels don't give the electricity they are part of making it though. By burning fossil fuels it creates steam which turns a turbine that generates electricity.
Could fossil fuels create electricity?
Yes, fossil fuels can and do create electricity. Most electricity round the world today is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What fossil fuels do you burn to generate electricity?
mostly coal
Why are fossil fuels used to generate electricity?
w o
What produce or makes electricity is to it?
generate
What is the process of burning fossil fuels called?
The process of burning fossil fuels is called combustion. During combustion, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, or natural gas are oxidized in the presence of heat and oxygen, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. This process is commonly used to generate electricity or power vehicles.
Why does burning fossil fuels create energy?
Burning fossil fuels releases stored chemical energy in the form of heat. This heat is used to generate steam, which then drives turbines to produce electricity. The carbon and hydrogen in fossil fuels combine with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy in the process.
