Fuel is obtained in different ways. If we restrict the discussion to fossil fuels, then oil is obtained by drilling deep into the ground and pumping it up. Coal is mined, either in deep mines or opencast. Natural gas is extracted in much the same way as oil.

Fuels that are not fossil fuels include wood, which is still used by many people, ethanol from plant fermentation, and methane from waste decomposition.
