The process of combustion combines fuel with oxygen, to produce carbon dioxide and heat. If the fuel is burned in a boiler to produce steam, this heat energy is converted to pressure energy in the steam. The pressure energy is converted to rotating kinetic energy as the steam spins a turbine. Finally the rotating kinetic energy is converted to electric energy in the generator.
The chemical energy of the fuel is converted into light and heat energy.
Chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Some fuel is burned; if you assume a chemical fuel (e.g., coal or petroleum), the chemical energy in the fuel is converted to heat. Then, this heat is converted to movement energy, which in turn is converted into an electric current.Note that when you have heat, only part of the heat energy can be converted to useful energy. The theoretical maximum is defined by the Carnot formula.
The Chemical Potential Energy stored in a rocket will be converted to Kinetic Energy because the chemical fuel will launch the rocket into motion (Kinetic Energy).
The energy that is contained in a consumable fuel (like gasoline) is chemical energy. The energy that it is converted into when it is burned is heat energy.
Potential Energy
The chemical potential energy in fossil fuels is converted to thermal energy (heat) by burning them.

Fuel helps but electrical energy is converted to mechanical energy through a motor, a machine with magnets that converts the electrical current into mutually repelling magnets causing mechanical motion.

Food and fuel. When burnt, they can be converted to other forms of energy.
