FOSSIL FUEL:
Fuels are natural substances that have
chemical energy stored in them. This energy
is released when we burn them.
Most of the energy we use comes from fossil
fuels, such as coal, natural gas and
petroleum.
Coal is used in power plants for generating
electricity and also to make steel.
Petroleum is used in vehicles and natural
gas is used for cooking.
