Potential Energy
A fossil fuel contains chemical energy. When it is burned this is turned into thermal or heat energy. This then may be converted into some other form including kinetic energy.
Thermal energy
Potential
Potential energy, which is stored as chemical bonds in the hydrocarbon molecules.
