Question
which fossil fuel emits the lowest amount of sulfur dioxide when burned? biomass wind energy solar energy natural gas
First, we need to identify which of the options is a fossil fuel. Biomass is a renewable organic material, wind energy and solar energy are renewable energy sources that are not fossil fuels. Natural gas is a fossil fuel. Among fossil fuels, natural gas has a relatively low sulfur content, so it emits the lowest amount of sulfur dioxide when burned compared to other fossil fuels (though the other options here aren't fossil fuels except natural gas).
