What is fossil fuel called?

short answerA bad idea, since(i) they produce CO2 (partly responsible for the rise in global warming),(ii) there is a limited amount of fossil fuel from which we make valuable materials such as lubricants and plastics,(iii) fossil fuel resources are finite, so burning them means we are consuming a resource we can never replace, and(iv) we can actually build new industries and create many new jobs developing renewable sources of energy instead of burning fossil fuels.


When fossil fuels are burned how is most of the energy released?

Fossil fuel molecules have energy in the form of chemical bonds holding the atoms together. When burning, some energy is used to break these bonds. Oxygen the combines with the atoms of the fuel forming bonds with less energy. The difference in the energy of the old bonds and the new bonds is released as both heat and light. Most of the energy is released as heat.


How electricity is generated in a fossil fuel power station?

In almost all situations, the fossil fuel is combusted to generate heat. The heat in turn boils water into steam which is then fed to a turbine or other mechanism that converts the heat into rotational energy. This energy is then transferred (usually through a driveshaft) to an electric generator that produces electricity while it spins.In most cases the power station is connected to a grid, and in that case the amount of power generated is almost exactly equal to the amount of steam fed to the turbine.In fossil fuel stations the thermal efficiency is 25-50%. That means that even the most efficient ones waste about half the avaliable energy in the fuel, and the bad ones waste three-quarters.


Is plastic a renewable resource?

No, plastic is not a renewable resource. It is primarily derived from nonrenewable fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas through a chemical process. Once plastic is created and used, it cannot be easily recycled back into its original form.


What fuel source provides most of the world's energy?

Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, currently provide the majority of the world's energy. However, renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power are growing in importance as alternatives to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate climate change.
