This stored energy is chemical potential energy in the fossil fuel. When burned, this energy is converted into thermal energy which then transforms into kinetic energy to power engines or generators.
Chemical energy from organic matter is stored in fossil fuels. When burned, this energy is released in the form of heat, which is converted into kinetic energy to produce electricity or power engines, for example.
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).

The heat is produced by the formation of chemical bonds between carbon and oxygen, and between hydrogen and oxygen. So CO2 and water are the necessary products when fossil fuel is burned, without which there would be no heat.
When a fossil fuel is burned, chemical energy stored in the fuel is converted into thermal energy, which raises the temperature of a working fluid (such as water or air) to produce steam or hot gas. The thermal energy then drives a turbine, converting it into kinetic energy in the form of rotational motion.

Fossil fuels store chemical energy that is released as heat energy when burned. This heat energy is then converted into kinetic energy to perform work, such as powering engines or generating electricity.
When a fossil fuel is burned, the chemical energy stored in the fuel is converted into heat energy. This heat energy is then used to heat water, produce steam, and drive turbines to generate kinetic energy, which can be used to produce electricity or power machinery.

When fossil fuels are burned, the chemical energy stored in the fuel is converted into heat energy. This heat energy is then used to produce steam in power plants, which drives turbines to generate kinetic energy that is ultimately converted into electricity.

Both burning fossil fuels and releasing a slingshot convert potential energy into kinetic energy. Potential energy refers to stored energy that can be released and used to do work, such as moving an object. When fossil fuels are burned, the chemical potential energy stored within them is converted into heat and light energy. Similarly, when a slingshot is released, the potential energy stored in its elastic band is converted into the kinetic energy of the projectile in motion.
