Q
Coal
A
Advantage: Large reserves, relatively high energy content
Disadvantage: high level of emissions
2
Q
Natural Gas
A
Advantage: more efficient than coal, easier transport
Disadvantage: limited reserves, non-renewable
3
Q
Bio Gas
A
Advantage: renewable, made from waste
Dis: supply of waste raw materials limited, low energy content
4
Q
Petrol
A
Ad: ease of transport, high energy content
Dis: non renewable, polluting but less than coal
5
Q
LPG
A
Ad: low cost, easily seperated from natural gas
Dis: non renewable, polluting but less than petrol
6
Q
Bioethanol
A
