Coal

Crude Oil Natural Gas


Coal

• forms from plants such as ferns, moss and trees• when plants die, they are slowly covered with

sediment and pressed deep into the earth• organic matter becomes richer in carbon and hydrogen• the purest form of coal is graphite, which consists

almost entirely of carbon


• also called petroleum• encompasses multiple types of hydrocarbons, which are compounds consisting hydrogen and carbon• forms mainly from marine vegetation and bacteria• used in the production of plastic and medications among many products

Crude Oil


• forms mainly from the remains of plankton• consisting mostly of methane and is often found on top of deposits of petroleum due to its lower density• it burns cleaner than coal and petroleum• commonly used in residential applications for home heating

Natural Gas

How it works?How it works?

Burn Fuel Heat water to make steam

Steam turns turbines

Turbines turn

generators

Electrical power


Very large amounts of electricity can be generated in one place using coal, fairly cheaply

Transporting oil and gas to the power stations is easy and inexpensive

Gas-fired power stations are very efficient.

A fossil-fuelled power station can be built almost anywhere, so long as you can get large quantities

of fuel to it


Burning any fossil fuel produces carbon dioxide, which contributes to the "greenhouse effect"

It also produces sulfur dioxide, a gas that contributes to acid rain

Coal-fired power stations need huge amounts of fuel

Mining coal can be difficult and dangerous. Strip mining destroys large areas of the landscape.

Fossil fuels are not a renewable energy resource
