Organic compound is just the name given to almost all compounds that contain carbon. Organic specifically refers to hydrocarbons, compounds containing carbon AND hydrogen. Oxygen and nitrogen are other common elements found in organic chemistry
Please see the wikipedia article about organic compounds.
The gas produced by the burning of fuel is carbon dioxide.
Carbon neutral means that algae fuel does not affect the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Algae takes in carbon dioxide as it grows, then, when the fuel is burnt, this same carbon dioxide is released. No increase, just exactly the same amount. This is why biofuel is so much better than fossil fuel which releases carbon that had been hidden underground for millions of years, so adding to the levels in the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide
Wood is considered a biomass fuel rather than a fossil fuel. When burned, it releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. This makes wood a source of carbon emissions, though it is often considered more carbon-neutral compared to fossil fuels due to the carbon cycling process.
Yes, ethanol releases carbon dioxide when it is used as a fuel source.
Carbon dioxide cannot be used as an ordinary fuel as it is a product of the combustion of carbon.
Yes, coal is a carbon based fossil fuel.
No, carbon is in fossil fuels.

When jet fuel burns, it reacts with oxygen to release carbon dioxide. The total emissions of carbon dioxide produced by burning a certain amount of jet fuel will exceed the weight of the fuel itself, as the carbon in the fuel combines with oxygen from the atmosphere. This results in the emission of more carbon dioxide than the weight of the fuel originally carried by the airplane.

Fossil fuel (hydrocarbon) + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy
Most of our fuel is fossil fuel, that is, coal, oil and natural gas. When these are used for fuel (by burning) they release carbon which has been stored in them for millions of years. This is adding to the amount of carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) in the atmosphere.
