Energy obtained from fossil fuels is green energy. True/False

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(1) Fossil fuels like petrol, diesel or natural gas when burnt, emit toxic gases and soot particles. Thus, fossil fuels cause air pollution. (2) Burning of fossil fuels cause increased levels of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. (3) The increased carbon dioxide emission results in global warming. (4) Nitrogen oxide results later in acid-rain. Soot particles generated through burning of fuels cause respiratory problems like asthma.
(5) Moreover, the fossil fuels are non-renewable and exhaustible. They have to be explored from the deeper layers of the earth causing lots of environmental problems. Thus, energy obtained from fossil fuels is not at all green energy.
