Oil, coal, natural gas. Coal-advantages •reliable •affordable •abundant (especially in North America) •proven technology •fossil fuels and chemicals Natural gas is cheaper compared to other fossil fuels and cheaper than electricity when used for supplying home appliances. Natural gas appliances are also cheaper compared to electrical ones. Environment: It does not pollute the ground or the underground water because its byproducts are in gaseous form. Another important fact is that natural gas burns without releasing any soot or sulfur dioxide. Leakage of some fossil fuels, such as natural gas, crude oil can lead to severe hazards. Hence, transportation of these fuels is very risky. Fossil fuels have contributed in more than one way for global warming, the issue that is being combated all over the world. Natural gas is better for the environment than other fossil fuels. While natural gas is not as clean as solar or wind energy, it is the cleanest fossil fuel energy source available. According to the Florida Natural Gas Association, 3,000 pounds of carbon dioxide are kept out of the atmosphere for each home that uses a tankless water heater in place of a heater powered by another source. Fossil fuels include oil, natural gas, and coal that are formed from buried organic materials like animal and plant sources. They are non-renewable sources of energy that accumulate through the remains of the living species that died a million years ago.
Fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas are formed from the dead and buried remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. These dead organisms, buried over time, turned into sedimentary rocks by mixing with sand and mud. The Advantages of Natural Gas Natural gas burns cleaner than the other fossil fuels such as coal and oil due to Natural gas produces 70% less carbon dioxide emissions compared to other fossil fuels. Due to the clean burning process, natural gas does not leave residues like soot or ash Coal is one of the most abundant sources of energy, more so than oil and natural gas Coal is inexpensive when compared to other fossil fuels (or alternative energy sources) Coal is versatile enough to be used for recreational activities such as BBQ’s or simply for home fires
The Advantages of Natural Gas Natural gas burns cleaner than the other fossil fuels such as coal and oil due to Natural gas produces 70% less carbon dioxide emissions compared to other fossil fuels.

Oil is a Fossil Fuel with High Energy Density. Oil among all the other fossil fuels (coal and natural gas) has both high specific energy and high energy density.
Coproduction of Liquid Fuels and Electricity from Non-petroleum Feedstocks . Second, continued use of coal and other fossil fuels in a carbon-constrained world Prices assumed (US$/GJ HHV) for coal, biomass, and natural gas are US$2.04, The advantage of the latter over post-combustion is the greater ease of. 25 Jan 2018 Fossil fuels, on the other hand, can take thousands—or even millions—of years to naturally replenish: Natural gas; Coal; Oil. These distinctions As the end uses for electricity grow, and as the benefits of electricity are extended to all people, demand will grow significantly. Coal, gas and oil. Fossil fuel power
17 Dec 2019 Natural gas is the cleanest burning and fastest growing fossil fuel, coal or oil in both the Stated Policies Scenario (where gas demand grows Keywords: Turkey, Energy demand, Coal, Natural gas, Electricity. 1. household . Because of the inevitable decline in world reserves of oil and rising demand for It offers a number of environmental benefits over other fossil fuels source. The combustion of coal generates great quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2), greater than those produced by oil or natural gas. All fossil fuels produce greenhouse gas and coal contributes by slightly less than 20% to the greenhouse effect 3 Dec 2018 Fossil fuels would still make up 77 percent of global energy demand in GTM members benefits: Coal demand has cratered, renewable energy use has skyrocketed Under the accelerated decarbonization scenario, oil demand peaks The future for natural gas remains positive in WoodMac's outlook, Fossil fuels refer to any fuel that comes from the Earth that is generated by the fossilization process. By definition, this is generally coal, natural gas, and petroleum products. It is the fuel that has helped the world develop into what it is today. WHAT ARE TYPES OF FOSSIL FUELS? Fossil fuels include coal, petroleum, natural gas, oil shales, bitumens, tar sands, and heavy oils. Coal is a form of combustible sedimentary rock. Coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements; chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. Coal forests are large deposits of this resource.
