Answer:

When it is burned to produce electricity,  coal emits the most carbon dioxide. This fossil fuel accounted for 1/3 of the electricity generated in the United States and emitted 68 percent of the carbon dioxide produced by generating electricity.

Gases like carbon dioxide increase the temperature and cause global warming. Carbon dioxide makes the vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector.

Histrionicus

Coal is the fossil fuel that produced the maximum amount of carbon dioxide by burning to produce electricity. This fossil fuel accounted for 1/3 of the electricity generation.

Fossils fuels

It is a fossil fuel formed by the decay of organic matter over prolonged periods under Pressure and in the absence of air. It then undergoes heat treatment (carbonization) to yield carbon dioxide, methane, water, and deposits of material rich in carbon.

Coal is used mainly as fuel to generate electric power for steam engines, factories, and electric plants. About 68% of this electricity generation was from fossil fuels—coal, natural gas, petroleum, and other gases.
