What are two things that burn fossil fuel?
Power stations and auto mobiles are two things that use fossil fuels.
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.
Almost all of the electricity that a people use is?
generated by power plants that burn fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas, and oil. These power plants convert the energy from burning these fuels into electricity that is then distributed through electrical grids to homes, businesses, and other facilities.
Which pollutant can lead to acid rain?
Power stations, factories and cars all burn fuels and they all produce gases. Some of these gases (especially nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide) react with the tiny droplets of water in clouds to form sulphuric and nitric acids.The rain from these clouds then falls as very weak acid - known as "acid rain".
Why do you burn fuels?
to produce energy, which gives people electricity etc
What do power stations burn most often?
Power stations most often burn fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil to generate electricity. These fuels are readily available and economically viable for large-scale electricity production.
Are nuclear power stations better for the environment than power stations that burn fossil fuels?
Yes
What fossil fuels do we burn in power stations?
they burn fossil fuels like coal, fuel oil, and oil shale
What liquid do power stations burn?
Power stations typically burn fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, or oil to generate electricity. The burning of these fuels produces heat, which is used to produce steam that drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity.
What are two things that burn fossil fuel?
Power stations and auto mobiles are two things that use fossil fuels.
When you burn fuels in power stations what chemical is released?
It really depends on what the people are burning it can range from oxygen to carbon monoxide
What power stations produce CO2?
Most power stations that burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas produce CO2 as a byproduct of combustion. These fossil fuel power stations are major contributors to CO2 emissions and climate change.
How is wood used as a source of energy in our daily lives?
Most often, we simply burn it in a fire or stove. There are a few power stations which burn wood chips.
Where does fuel for power stations come from?
Presuming you mean fuel that is burned, coal, oil and gas come from underground mines and wells. Some experimental or small scale stations burn rubbish or biomass such as elephant grass grown for the purpose. Nuclear stations don't burn anything, but their raw material is often called fuel. This is often uranium, which is also mined.
What are good things about hydroelectric power?
they don't burn fossil fuels
What fossil fuels can burn in power stations?
With the exception of nuclear power stations (which are classed as 'thermal'), all other 'thermal' power stations use combustible fuels, including coal (usually pulverised), oil, gas, wood-chips, etc. I visited a sugar plantation, in Indonesia, where the waste material (pulverised) from the processed sugar cane was used as the main fuel in their on-site power station.
How do you get energy from fossil fuels?
Burn them - the heat can then be used to power things.
