Fuel is any material that is capable of releasing energy when its chemical or physical structure is altered. Fuel releases its energy either through chemical means, such as burning, or nuclear means, such as nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. An important property of a useful fuel is that its energy can be stored to be released only when needed, and that the release is controlled in such a way that the energy can be harnessed to produce work. All carbon-based life forms-from microorganisms to animals and humans-depend on and use fuels as their source of energy. Their cells engage in an enzyme-mediated chemical process called metabolism that converts energy from food or solar power into a form that can be used to sustain life. Additionally, humans employ a variety of techniques to convert one form of energy into another, producing usable energy for purposes that go far beyond the energy needs of a human body. The application of energy released from fuels ranges from heat to cooking and from powering weapons to combustion and generation of electricity. Examples: Alcohol Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, primarily coal, fuel oil or natural gas, formed from the remains of dead plants and animals. Gasoline or petrol Some well known alternative fuels include biodiesel, ethanol, butanol, chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells), hydrogen, methane, natural gas, vegetable oil, biomass, and peanut oil.
Fossil fuel are the substances which are burned to release energy. Some of the examples are : Coal, Crude oil, Natural gas.
Pollution and the destruction of the environment.
modern fuels are those fuels that are used and are now found. some examples of these are- biogas.
Yes. Any thing that combusts (burns) can be used as a fuel (some examples are: wood, coal, oil, gas, hydrogen, food, etc)
Home heating, Cooking, Heating water. Fuel for internal combustion engines. To name a few.

Some of the Variable costs are Fuel Cost, energy, and operating cost
Fuel is one
Some of the most fuel efficient cars are the smart cars like 2013 Smart ForTwo, Honda Fit EV, and the Scion iQ. These cars are electric so the fuel they use is used to create the electricity they run on.
Some examples of biomass's current use to day is, producing methane out of it that is the gas which comes out of you oven. Ethanol which is a transportation fuel which is made from corn and sugar cane, that has been fermented. and finally biodiesel which is another type of transportation fuel, that is produced from vegetable oil and animal fat.
Going to a planet is not cheap. Here are some examples why it is costly: equipment, fuel, etc.
No, that would be an example of gasoline, or fossil fuel. Examples of a gas would be Hydrogen, Oxygen, Xenon, butane (that some cars run on) etc.
