Can carbon be used in place of other fuels?

328 views

I’ve heard of hydrogen being used as an alternative energy source, and solar energy is another alternative, however has anyone considered using carbon? The main issue with climate change is carbon emission, so is it possible for carbon to be used as fuel?

It isn’t “carbon” emission, it is carbon dioxide emission that is the issue. Carbon dioxide is what is produced (mainly) when carbon is burnt. Coal is essentially carbon which is why there is a lot of effort to replace it with more renewable and less carbon dioxide emitting energy sources.
