Energy is released from fossil fuels such as coal by being heated up the coal burns, causing smoke the smoke passes through a turbine powering agenerator which turns motion into an electromagnetic moter that stores energy and is released as electricity into an electric moter that powers the object.

i know it is long but is a almost precise procedure.

it can also be used as heat energy
