Greenhouse gases and air pollution are made too. The 3 main fuels are coal‚ oil and natural gas Nuclear power uses fission to produce energy. Nuclear fusion also has potential for energy production. Around 6% of the world’s energy and 14% of the world’s electricity is produced by nuclear power. Around 30 different countries

Fossil fuels consist of coal‚ petroleum and natural gas that are found under the earth’s surface‚ formed from billions of years of compression and decomposition of dead plant and animal matter. They are the leading source of energy for the mankind and are used for various purposes like energy for transportation‚ electricity‚ manufacturing process and also used in the manufacturing process of day to day items like plastic. Main fossil fuels are. 1. Coal Coal is a combustible black

people still use Non-Renewable Natural Resources even though they have many issues. Explain with some examples. Non-Renewable Resources are the resources that cannot be reproduced/grown/generated or used scale which can sustain its consumption. Eg: Coal because it gets exhausted and long time to reform. When we use them and some other examples are LPG/nuclear/natural gas and fossil fuel are natural gas and nuclear energy. Although there has been many issues‚ people still use Non-Renewable Resources

With an existing huge demand supply gap of electricity in India‚ MPPs are considered to be panacea in the long run. Though the government has targeted capacity addition of 88‚000 MW in the 12th FYP it seems faltering purely basis the trend of delays observed in project commissioning and the after effects of economic slowdown

However‚ it can yield the amount of energy equivalent to that generated by a metric tonne of coal‚ which makes it much more efficient. Secondly ‚Fossil fuels were formed from the organic remains of prehistoric plants and animals. These remains‚ which are millions of years old‚ were converted by heat and pressure in the earth’s crust into carbon-containing
