Fossil fuels such as coal store chemical kinetic energy?
The potential chemical energy in fossil fuels and food was stored by plants that converted the sun's radiant energy into chemical energy.
difference between bioenergy and fossil energy
Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.
Fossil fuels contain the chemical energy that plants and algae obtained from sunlight and then stored in sugars. Just as energy chemical energy is stored in sugars, chemical energy is stored in fossil fuels. All it takes to release it is enough heat and oxygen to cause the fuel to burn.
Ultimately, all energy only comes from the Sun. This is how the energy is transferred: Sun>plants>animals. Therefore, fossil fuels obtain their energy from plants itself and animals when they've consumed plants.
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
fossil fuels come from non-renewable (will not last forever) energy resources, these non-renewable energy resources (fossil fuels) come from CRUDE OIL, COAL, NATURAL GAS, NUCLEAR, sometimes wood and biomass - this depends on how it is extracted
No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.
Fossil Fuels =)
Nuclear energy does not come from fossil fuels
No. Alternative energy means energy sources other than fossil fuels.
Its easier to obtain wood than liquid explosive dinosaurs
Fossil fuels are exhaustible. Electric energy is an alternative.
Fossil fuels.
All fuels by definition are used to produce energy, fossil fuels are no exception. (Shorter answer: Yes.)
When fossil fuels are burned, some of the chemical energy stored in them is converted into thermal energy.
