three advantages of using coal instead of fire wood sources as a energy
Answers
Answer:
When managed responsibly, forests are renewable and sustainable. Therefore, wood is a renewable resource and a sustainable form of energy. This is a benefit when compared to other forms of fuel (like fossil fuels) which are non-renewable and will eventually run out if they continue to be used at the current rate.
Carbon neutral
Wood energy is good for the environment because it is carbon neutral. This means it does not contribute to the greenhouse effect because the carbon released when wood energy is used is offset by the carbon absorbed by trees during growth. Organisations can reduce their greenhouse gas footprint by switching to wood energy.
Reduced waste and pollution
Organic waste (including wood waste) makes up a large proportion of New Zealand’s overall waste (40% in 1997). Large volumes of organic waste are a problem because they cause landfills to fill up faster and release harmful substances (e.g. leachate and methane) when they break down. These substances can contaminate water supplies and contribute to global warming when released into the environment.
