Burning will usually result in heat and light energy.
The energy given off by the burning of a match is called thermal energy. If you want to know the amount of energy, you then need to have more information related to the mass and material of the match.
The advantages would be that chemical energy doesn't pollute, and it stores many things. The disadvantages would be pollution caused by the burning of fuel cells.
Burning fuels, chemical energy is converted to heat energy
When coal is burned, chemical energy changes to thermal energy. The energy of sunlight was stored in the organic molecules of dead plants, which were compressed and altered to form long-chain hydrocarbons. Burning the coal oxidizes these molecules, releasing heat.
Burning produces thermal energy
Thermal Energy
If by 'organic' material you mean recently growing plant material, this would be classed as biomass. In chemistry fuels such as oil are classed as organic, but I feel you may not mean that.
Biomass production is basically burning organic material to produce energy. Biomass energy is generally clean and is a renewable resource.
Chemical energy (originally from the Sun).
No, this is energy from biomass. Geothermal means using the Earth's heat, usually from deep underground.
Biomass energy is produced through burning organic matter.
Burning a material converts chemical energy into thermal energy.
Heterotrophs get energy by ingesting organic material (such as plants or meat). Autotrophs get energy by using inorganic material to make organic materials.

The form of potential energy that organic compounds hold is called fuel. On burning these compounds, the heat can be converted into other forms of energy.
biomass burning is perceived as being a sensible form of energy generation. ... So the potential is there for a substantial fraction of our energy budget to come from biomass burning.
