Fossil fuels include natural gas, coal, and petroleum. These are generally burned for energy, although most types of plastics are made from petroleum, as well as various other petrochemicals used in everything from cleaners to body care products.
In some cases, natural gas, and, more commonly, diesel or gasoline (which are components of petroleum) can be burned in a cylinder to cause a piston to move up and down (this is how cars work). To produce electricity, however, a fossil fuel is usually used to heat steam which then is released at high pressure, causing a turbine to spin. The spinning turbine powers an electric generator.
