What is the difference between bio fuels and fossil fuels?

yes they are better --> yeah, that's a good reason beind the whole thing lol. They are better because they do not add to the net amount of co2 in the atmosphere. The crops used to produce the fuel already used co2 during photosynthesis. So they do not decrease, or add to the total amount of co2, just keep it the same.


How does solar energy reduce the use of fossil fuels?

Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels. But the use of solar energy should hopefully reduce the need of fossil fuels to create energy, so therefore the more we can use solar power as an energy source instead of fossil fuels, the more we reduce the use of fossil fuels.


Which type of energy is stored in fossil fuels?

Chemical energy is stored in fossil fuels, resulting from the organic matter that underwent decomposition over millions of years. This energy is released when the fossil fuels are burned or combusted.


Explain why some fuels are fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels are made from the remains of ancient organisms like plants and animals that have been buried for millions of years. This organic matter gets transformed into fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas through heat and pressure underground. Their formation process over such a long timescale is what makes them known as fossil fuels.


What is the same between wind power and fossil fuel?

Both wind power and fossil fuels are used to generate electricity. Additionally, they both have the potential to impact the environment, although wind power is considered cleaner and more sustainable compared to fossil fuels.

Is not a benefit of using biofuels instead of fossil fuels?

One drawback of using biofuels instead of fossil fuels is the potential for competition with food production, as crops grown for biofuel can divert resources away from food supply. Additionally, large-scale biofuel production can lead to deforestation and habitat loss, negatively impacting biodiversity. Furthermore, the energy yield from biofuels can be lower than that of fossil fuels, making them less efficient in some contexts.


Is biofuel green?

biofuel is green because it does not uses fossil fuels to do things.


Why is biofuel not a fossil fuel?

Biofuels are fuels made from living things, while fossil fuels are made from the decompostion of plants and animals that have died.


What are the usage of biofuel?

Biofuels is a substitute for some fossil fuels. Petroleum etc.


How do you benefit from waterfalls instead of depending on fossil fuel?

Fossil Fuels "pollute" the air when depending on waterfalls doesnt to anything to the environment.


Are there any fuels that are not fossil fuels?

Yes, renewable fuels like sustainable wood, biomass and biofuel (biodiesel etc made from vegetable oils) are not fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).


What are some sources of power that are not fossil fuels?

Wind, solar, water (as in hydroelectric dams), and Biofuel (corn-based ethanol) are major alternatives to fossil fuels.


Is corn fossil fuels?

No. Coal, natural gas, and oil are examples of fossil fuels, as they are the products of organic material that was buried for millions of years. Alcohol is derived from corn, and considered a biofuel.


How efficient is a biofuel?

boifule, i would say is quite efficient, instead of burning fossil fuels it is more efficient and it means you wont be paying high prices for something that will, eventually run out.


How do people benefit from fossil fuels?

People benefit from fossil fuels because they provide energy for transportation, electricity, and heating. Fossil fuels also support various industries and contribute to economic growth and development. However, the burning of fossil fuels is a major contributor to air pollution and climate change.


What energy source can you use instead of fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels are exhaustible. Electric energy is an alternative.


How is Brazil trying to slow the effects of global warming?
