Petroleum is called a fossil fuel because it was made from the remains of plants. The energy in petroleum came from the energy in the plants and animals.
The only energy resource that is formed by such materials is fossil fuel.
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be changed from one type of energy into another. All of our energy comes from the Sun. Plants store that energy in the 'food' they make, glucose, a type of sugar, which then gets packaged into larger molecules of starch. Animals eat plants and the energy in the plants is used by the animals which eat the plants to provide the fuel for all the chemical reactions in their body. Then other animals eat the animals which eat the plants and so on and so on. So the energy comes from the Sun, is stored (and used) by plants through photosynthesis, then by organisms which eat the plants and so on.
It helps fuel the carbon, giving energy to the plants or animals in that particular ecosystem.
Sugars are the fuel for respiration. Respiration fulfills the energy need of cell
the fuel cells convert hydrogen into energy using a converter and that energy is used to power the vehicle

Plants perform photosynthesis as a means to feed themselves. During photosynthesis, plants convert light energy, usually from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities.
Geothermal energy is not a fossil fuel, because it is harnessing energy from the thermal heat energy within the earth and is not dependent upon decomposed ancient plants and animals, which is what coal, oil, and natural gas are, which is why they are called "fossil fuels."
Hydrogen fuel cells powered the Apollo space craft of the 1960's. They're also used today as large power plants for rural areas
