I would actually describe the energy as chemical, as the energy is being used to hold the chemical bonds of the hydrocarbons together. But it is certainly not kinetic, so give these two choices the answer is potential.
It is potential energy waiting for a chemical reaction.
fossil fuel is potential of the energy stored inside
Burning fossil fuels turns potential energy into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy in motion, which can be used to do work.
kinetic
When fossil fuels are burned they turn into mercury which released into the atmosphere
A fossil fuel contains chemical energy. When it is burned this is turned into thermal or heat energy. This then may be converted into some other form including kinetic energy.
They are both forms of potential energy.
Burning fossil fuels turns potential energy into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy in motion, which can be used to do work.
Fossil fuels represent chemical energy, a form of potential energy. This energy was stored in the hydrocarbon molecules and can be released by oxidation (burning).

kinetic
Fossil fuels such as coal store chemical kinetic energy?
When fossil fuels are burned they turn into mercury which released into the atmosphere
No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.
