Multiple Choice

Why is it important to consider the types of energy sources used in domestic dwellings?

• Because different energy sources have varying impacts on the environment

• Because all energy sources are equally sustainable

• Because energy sources do not affect carbon emissions

• Because energy sources are only chosen based on cost

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is a reason why we need to find cleaner sources of energy?

• Fossil fuels are unlimited

• Fossil fuels damage the earth's climate

• Renewable energy is expensive

• Fossil fuels produce no carbon

Fill in the Blanks

All fossil fuels produce

when burnt, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.

Multiple Select

Which of the following statements about Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems is/are correct?

• CHP can use a variety of fuels.

• CHP systems only serve single properties.

• CHP tries to extract every available bit of heat.

• CHP systems are used for district systems.
