it all end up in the atmosphere

Explanation:

The coal is burned and the heat given off is used to convert water into steam, which drives a turbine.

petroleum was formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms, such as plants, algae, and bacteria.

Like oil, natural gas is a product of decomposed organic matter, typically from ancient marine microorganisms, deposited over the past 550 million years. This organic material mixed with mud, silt, and sand on the sea floor, gradually becoming buried over time.

Coal and natural gas are burned in power plants to boil water. Steam from boiling water converts turbines into electricity. Carbon dioxide from burning fuel is released into the atmosphere.
