I suppose you could say fuel is potential energy-energy is there but something must be done to the fuel to release it. In the case of coal, oil, or gas, it must be burned which also involves oxygen, so the energy is a result of chemical reactions. In the case of nuclear the energy is contained in the fuel and is released through the nuclear fission process-every fission releases a fixed amount of energy. In all these cases the energy becomes apparent in the first place as heat, which is then used for electricity production-or in the case of fossil fuels the heat output can be directly used for heating, industrial processes, or in mechanical engines.

What is Uranium energy used for?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.
What is the external fuel of choice used by cells as a ready source of energy?
Cells do not choose their source of energy.
What are the names of the plant and animal products that are used as fuel?
Biomass.
Is nuclear a fuel or a fossil fuel?
Nuclear energy is not a fossil fuel or any fuel at all. Radiation is used to create energy. The energy is "the Fuel" petroleum
Is nuclear energy and nuclear fuel different?
Nuclear fuel is the fuel used to produce nuclear energy.
What happen to the energy from a fuel that is not used to perform work?
Because the fuel is not used its energy is called potential energy and remains stored in the fuel until something initiates the process of ignition or energization.

Jp5 fuel Jp5 fuel
Diesel fuel is used in the engines of the machines and trucks at the quarry Which of these is the main energy transformation as the fuel is used by the engines?
Chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy.
What energy is used by a truck?
Mostly chemical energy from the fuel.
What energy is used to fuel the process of photosynthesis?
Solar energy.
The fuel used in a rocket is energy stored as?
chemical energy
Is energy is a fuel?
You have your logic backwords, energy can be used as a fuel
What kind of energy uses as a fuel?
Nuclear energy is produced using uranium as a fuel. The energy produced is in form of heat energy which is used to produce electrical energy.
