electric,oil, natural gas, propane, coal, and wood
When the trees and vegetation were growing they took in solar energy through photosynthesis. This energy was stored in the plants as hydrocarbons. It remains there as the plants, over millions of years, become fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Oil combust and release energy stored in chemical form to thermal energy.
Petroleum is concentrated sunlight, which was captured by plants, then compressed and heated for millions of years.
oil and coal
Chemical energy.
yes
Fuels such as oil, wood, coal, and natural gas have energy stored in them. This kind of energy is called chemical process of burning, the energy is released in the form of heat.
chemical energy
It is geothermal energy, coal energy, and natural gas and oil energy.
The kind that's bad for our Earth. :(
Yes, the energy in fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) came originally from the sun.
The oil thermal plant refers to the chemical energy that is stored in the fossil fuel like the natural gas, oil shale, fuel oil, and coal. They are usually successively converted into thermal energy, mechanical energy, and electrical energy.
Chemical energy. Although kinetic energy is, in a sense, stored within fossil fuels (one may drop a piece of coal and it falls), the energy stored with a fossil fuel is chemical as it can only be accesed through a chemical reaction.
electric,oil, natural gas, propane, coal, and wood
Coal, gas,oil, and wood. All of these are burned (oxidized in air), which releases the chemical energy stored within its chemical bonds.
