COMMENTARY

Staff Editor

Thermal electricity generation involves heating water to produce steam which in turn causes turbines to rotate and generate electricity. If the water is heated by coal or oil, the electricity is both thermal and generated from fossil fuels. If the water is heated by nuclear energy or geothermal heat sources, the electricity is not generated from fossil fuels.

">In response to gpastor@imf.org:

The term "fossil fuel" refers to fuels containing hydrocarbons (molecules made of hydrogen and carbon) such as oil, coal and natural gas as well as refined products produced from these including petrol, diesel, kerosine and methane. The name fossil fuels is given to these fuels as the are believed to have formed from the ancient remains of plant and animal material.
