Eenergy obtained from fossil fuels is not green energy. Is this statement true? Justify.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Fossil fuels like petrol, diesel or natural gas when burnt, emit toxic gases and soot particles. Thus, fossil fuels cause air pollution. Burning of fossil fuels cause increased levels of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. The increased carbon dioxide emission results in global warming. Nitrogen oxide results later in acid-rain. Soot particles generated through burning of fuels cause respiratory problems like asthma.
Moreover, the fossil fuels are non-renewable and exhaustible fuels. They have to be explored from the deeper layers of the earth causing lots of environmental problems. Green energy is sustainable, renewable and abundant. It never creates any environmental problems and non-polluting.
Thus, energy obtained from fossil fuels is not at all a green energy.
