Potential
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.

Potential
Potential energy, which is stored as chemical bonds in the hydrocarbon molecules.
Potential
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.
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.
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).

No, not kinetic energy.

No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.
