When fuels are burnt first of all chemical energy changes to heat energy and sometimes to light energy as well. then we convert the heat energy into other usable forms of energy.
For example, coal is burnt in thermal power stations to produce heat which is then converted to electricity. Vehicles convert chemical energy of fuels to heat and then use this heat to do mechanical work. The process of conversion is complex in both cases.

What is the two uses of chemical energy?
For example heating by combustion of fuels.
How energy transformed when fossil fuels are used?
Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.
What are the examples of chemical energy?
Chemical energy is the potential of a chemical substance to undergo a transformation through a chemical reaction or to transform other chemical substances. Examples of chemical energy are: the digestive process, batteries, photosynthesis, burning gasoline, burning wood, using TNT, fire works, putting salt on a slug, alcohol, fermentation, and rusting.
How do you usually obtain the energy from the fuels you use?
By oxidation, which releases the chemical energy from the molecules. The rapid release of energy can be called combustion (burning).
What produces chemical energy?
Basically Chemical Energy is stored up in the bonds. Chemical energy is usually converted to another form sucha sheat and light. Burning magnesium produces haet and light. The chemical energy is stored in the metal and the oxygen. It has a scientific name of chemical potential.
When fuels are burnt what happens to the chemical potential energy?
When fuels are burnt, the chemical potential energy in the fuels is converted into heat and light energy. Initially, such energy will be converted to heat. In a fire, part of that will be radiated away as infrared radiation or light; it is also common that the heat will increase the pressure and make things expand - which is what happens in a gasoline or diesel engine.
What is the process of converting the chemical energy in fuels to electrical energy?
A simple answer is that fossil fuels are burnt. The heat is used to produce steam which drives mechanical turbines and dynamos, which then produce electricity.

Is kinetic energy stored by fossil fuels?
No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.
Fossil fuels is what energy?
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
How is energy stored in fuels?
The energy in fuels is chemical energy - a type of potential energy.
What energy is in food anf fuels?
chemical energy is in foods and fuels
How is the chemical energy in fossil fuels related to the sun's energy?
The potential chemical energy in fossil fuels and food was stored by plants that converted the sun's radiant energy into chemical energy.
What form of energy do fuels contain?
Fossil fuels contain chemical energy.
What energy does fossil fuels have?
chemical energy
What do you call the energy which is stored in chemical fuels such as petrol?
Chemical Energy
Does fossil fuels such as coal store chemical kinetic energy?
Fossil fuels such as coal store chemical kinetic energy?
