1. Fossil fuels (e.g. coal, oil, natural gas)
Burning coal
________ energy ________energy __________energy __________ energy of
(stored in coal) (in water) (in steam) turbine
generator
______________energy
Advantages Disadvantages
Coal: N_______________________, will be exhausted in the long-run
- release large amount of
energy: Coal:
produce more - quite h_______________, causes high transportation and storage cost
e______than - cause a__________ pollution,
from burning wood - during burning of coal, carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and dust are released
⚫ carbon dioxide: lead to g____________effect
⚫ sulphur dioxide: cause the formation of a_____________, acid rain may
corrode building and is harmful to health
⚫ dust: leads to air pollution
Oil:
- if accident or fire in oil tanks, oil will leak out, leads to w___________ pollution
2. Solar power
