What are the characteristics of fossil fuels?

Fossil fuel, also known as fossil fuel, is a hydrocarbon or its derivative. The natural resources contained in fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas.

When generating electricity, the burning of fossil fuels will generate energy, which will drive turbines to generate electricity. Old generators use steam as fuel to drive turbines. At present, many power stations will directly use gas turbine engines.

In the pace of global modernization, there is a potential energy shortage crisis in fossil fuels, especially gasoline extracted from oil, from the 20th century to the 20th century and the 20th century, which is one of the reasons leading to the global oil crisis. At present, the global trend is to develop renewable energy and nuclear energy, which will help increase global energy demand.

The continuous burning of fossil fuels by human beings is one of the sources of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide emissions and one of the factors that accelerate global warming. In addition, carbon dioxide in biofuels comes from the atmosphere, so developing biofuels can reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, thus reducing the greenhouse effect.

Up to now, almost all the fuels used in the world are fossil fuels, namely oil, natural gas and coal. Fossil fuels gradually formed in nature over millions of years may all be exhausted by human beings within hundreds of years.
