Can carbon be used in place of other fuels?

330 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?

Carbon is coal, and we do use it as a fuel source. Carbon-based fuel can be used instead, such as oil and all other fossil fuels. “Carbon emission” is the emission of carbon dioxide, which is the product of burning carbon-based fuels.

Hydrogen is a joke, in terms of commercial power generation. Its only possible utility is in cars.
