Fossil fuel power generation is the process of producing electricity by burning fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil. These fuels release energy when combusted, which heats water to create steam. The steam then drives turbines connected to generators, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. This method of power generation is widely used due to the abundance of fossil fuels and established technology. However, it also contributes to environmental issues, including air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, which are linked to climate change. As a result, there is a growing interest in alternative energy sources.
