It says that it does but it dosn"t.... if you belive in global warming
Bio fuels increase the overall carbon emissions. Equipment is used to create the material that is then converted into fuel. This adds carbon dioxide as well as wasting more water. The overall effect is an increase in emissions.

∙ 14y agoBio fuels could help with the production of CO2 only minimally. The fuel itself is rarely as good as conventional fuels so therefore burns differently. The cost of many bio fuels is actually more fuel then the fuel produced. Some estimates are that it takes over a gallon of diesel and 2000 gallons of water to make a gallon of diesel.
Nature makes over 93% of all CO2. The portion of CO2 made by man certainly has a component of CO2 that would have been caused naturally. Burning wood, for example, produces the same as wood that rots.

∙ 11y agoBurning 1 kilogram of a fossil fuel releases about 3.2 kilograms of CO2. The extra weight is caused by the oxygen atoms that are taken from the atmosphere during the burning process.
Fossil (hydrocarbon fuel) contains carbon, with each carbon atom attached to two hydrogen atoms (approximately). After the fuel is burnt each carbon atom is attached to two oxygen atoms instead.
The hydrogen atoms in the fuel also burn, combining with more oxygen from the atmosphere to produce more heat and a waste product which is water (steam).
The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) contributes about 29 gigatons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere every year.

∙ 11y agoThe burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide (CO2) in the amount of 29 gigatons per year. (A gigaton equals 1,000,000,000 tons.)

By what process is the carbon in fossil fuels released into the atmosphere?
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
What process is the carbon in fossil fuels released into the atmosphere?
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
How does burning less fossil fuels reduce the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere?
When you burn fossil fuels to make enrgy, carbon dioxide is released. So, if you burn less fossil fuels, less carbon dioxide is released.
How does burning fossil fuels affect the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The burning of fossil fuels affects the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by increasing it.
How do you form Carbon Dioxide?

What is Carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by?
Many things contribute to Carbon dioxide being released. Cars, animals, burning fossil fuels, etc.
How does burning fossil fuels affect the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The burning of fossil fuels affects the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by increasing it.
Which gas released from the burning of fossil fuels is the gas that contributes to global warming?
The gas released from the burning of fossil fuels that contributes to global warming is carbon dioxide (CO2).
How do you form Carbon Dioxide?

How has the burning of fossil fuels affected the carbon cycle?
Burning fossil fuels has released large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. As a result, the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased. Some claim this results in global warming.
How has the burning of fossil fuels affect the carbon cycle?
Burning fossil fuels has released large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. As a result, the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased. Some claim this results in global warming.
What substance released into the air by the burning of fossil fuel contributes most to global warming?
Carbon dioxide
What is the relationship between burning of fossil fuels and carbon dioxide?
Burning fossil fuels (combustion) releases carbon dioxide. As carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, presently contributing to global warming, this is why the world is moving away from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
What is released from burning of fossil fuel?
Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is causing global warming and climate change.
