Coal and petroleum are good sources of energy and it is important to conserve them because they can be replenished quickly enough. Hydrocarbons are formed over a period of thousands of years when the remains of dead plants and animals are buried inside the earth. Also, burning coal and oil results in air pollution.

Coal and petroleum are called fossil fuels. Coal and petroleum are the natural resources which are important 'sources' of energy for us. Coal is used as a fuel as such in homes and in industry, or it is used to generate electricity at Thermal Power Plants.

They include fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, coal, and uranium used for nuclear energy. Despite this, they have a couple of advantages: The main advantages of non-renewable energies is that they are abundant and affordable. For example, oil and diesel are still good choices for powering vehicles.

['Fossil fuels can generate a large amount of electricity at a single location.', 'They can be found very easily.', 'They are cost effective.', 'Transportation of oil and gas can be done easily through pipelines.', 'They have become safer over time.']

Natural gas is less expensive than other fossil fuels. The U.S. supply of natural gas is plentiful and helps to decrease our dependence on foreign oil supplies. Some potential disadvantages to consider are the following: Natural gas must be handled carefully because it is a combustible material.

Oil is a cleaner fuel than coal, but it still has many disadvantages, such as the following: Refining petroleum creates air pollution. Transforming crude oil into petrochemicals releases toxins into the atmosphere that are dangerous for human and ecosystem health. Burning gasoline releases CO2.

What are petroleum products, and what is petroleum used for? Petroleum products include transportation fuels, fuel oils for heating and electricity generation, asphalt and road oil, and feedstocks for making the chemicals, plastics, and synthetic materials that are in nearly everything we use.

Disadvantages of using fossil fuels Coal and oil release sulfur dioxide gas when they burn, which causes breathing problems for living creatures and contributes to acid rain. Fossil fuels release carbon dioxide when they burn, which adds to the greenhouse effect and increases global warming .

Petroleum is a critically important but nonrenewable natural resource. In its refined forms, petroleum is used for the production of energy and for the manufacture of synthetic materials such as plastics, while its asphaltic residues are used for heating, construction, and roads.

Environmental pollution is one of the major disadvantage of fossil fuels. It is a known fact that carbon dioxide, gas released when fossil fuels are burnt, is one of the primary gas responsible for global warming.

Advantages and disadvantages of biofuel When burned, they release as much carbon as they absorbed during growth, although some carbon dioxide will be released during production, eg by the tractor. Needs a lot of labour. Reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Bioethanol cannot be used in cars without modifying the engine.
