Limitations of fossil fuels:
- They are non-renewable resources.
- The process of extraction is dangerous as it may release toxic gases.
- Coal and petroleum release carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and other greenhouse gases on burning, which affects human health and the environment.
- The combustion process of fossil fuels leads to an acidic environment, which can change the climatic conditions.
 |
Ways to reduce the use of fossil fuels:
 |
- Use of biofuels.
- Using an alternative source of energy.
- Use of public transportation.
- Go green.
- Be energy efficient.
The main disadvantage of fossil fuels is pollution. The combustion process of fossil fuels causes air pollution, which in turn leads to global warming.
