Does helium produce carbon dioxide?

No, helium does not produce carbon dioxide. Helium is an inert gas and does not react chemically with other substances to produce carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is produced from the combustion of carbon-containing compounds.


How could power stations reduce the amount of carbon dioxide they produce?

There are many ways to generate electricity. Methods that burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) produce carbon dioxide. Methods using renewable energy do not. Nuclear power plants, although uranium in non-renewable, do not produce carbon dioxide. Power stations could be rebuilt to use different fuel sources. Biomass and biofuel will power a coal fired power station without emitting the carbon dioxide pollution.

How much co2 does a geothermal electrical plant produce?

Practically no carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced from a geothermal power plant once it has been established. There is a carbon footprint from its construction and assembly, but this is wiped out in a few months by the free, renewable, clean, non-polluting energy that it provides.

Does algae produce carbon dioxide?

Yes, algae can produce carbon dioxide through respiration when they consume oxygen for energy production. However, algae also absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, where they convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose in the presence of sunlight.


Is geothermal energy carbon neutral?

Geothermal energy is considered relatively carbon neutral because it releases significantly less carbon dioxide compared to fossil fuels during energy generation. However, there can be some emissions from the drilling and construction processes associated with geothermal power plants.
