How are fossil fuels processed to release their energy
1 answer
Fossil fuels are processed to release their energy through combustion. The fossil fuels are burned in controlled environments such as power plants, vehicles, or industrial boilers. During combustion, the fossil fuels react with oxygen in the air to produce heat and energy. This heat is used to generate steam that drives turbines and generates electricity, or to heat buildings and power engines in vehicles. The byproducts of combustion, including carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other pollutants, are released into the atmosphere.
