Combustion, or burning, of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases extra carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 is a greenhouse gas that is causing global warming, and this extra amount is too much for the carbon cycle to deal with.

How does the number of carbon chains in alcohl affect the heat it gives off during combustion?

The number of carbon chains in alcohol affects the heat released during combustion because longer carbon chains contain more carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds, which store more chemical energy. Therefore, alcohols with longer carbon chains tend to release more heat energy when burned compared to those with shorter chains.
