fuel is made from fossil fuels and emits carbon dioxide, it is a raw fuel that can be turned into energy, energy is the result of a reaction, power plants produce energy by changing electrons and harvesting the energy produced from the reaction, energy is used as a power source and is measured in wats, while fuels are used in cars and most engines and are simply used as a starting device and a stability device. which is why cars use baterys and fossil fuels

∙ 14y agoBased on your question, I would assume energy resources are the various resources whichever nation has at its disposal and fuel would be substances such as oil, petrol etc. But your question is a little ambiguous as energy resource and fuel could be synonymous.

How might an increased use of alternate energy sources such as wind and solar radiation affect the lifetime of fossil fuel resources?
If we use more alternate energy, then we will use less fossil fuel energy, so fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) will have a longer life time.Anything and EVERYTHING that will have a detrimental impact upon the use of fossil fuels may just increase 'Our Life Time'.
Is water a fossil fuel energy?
No.
Explain why wood is a fuel but not a fossil fuel?
Wood is a fuel as it can provide energy by burning. But, it is not formed by fossils and hence not called a fossil fuel.
Explain the process of using fossil fuel as energy?
They are burned with oxygen to produce energy.
How much gasoline is 5625000 pounds of rocket fuel?
How much energy is in one gallon of gas, compare this to quantity of energy in one gallon of rocket fuel, voila, your answer!!!
What is the difference between solar geothermal nuclear fossil fuel hydroelectric energy?
they arn't the same type of energy
Which of these accurately describes a difference between nuclear energy and fossil fuel?
Nuclear fuel has a higher energy density than fossil fuels.
What is the difference between an aircraft fuel and normal fuel?
Aircraft fuel discharge a huge amount of energy in combustion rather than ordinary fuel such as petrol and diesel.
What is the difference between coal and fuel and renewable resources?
Coal and fuel can not be reused because they have been burnt away. Renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel) keeps coming back and can be used again.
What is the hypothesis of energy resources?
Energy resources include fossil fuel (as coal, natural gas, and oil), renewable energy resources (as solar energy, wind energy, biomass, geothermal energy, ...), and nuclear energy (based on fission and/or fusion).
What is difference between fuel and power?
Power is energy that you can put to work, such as the electric current produced from a generator or engine.Fuel is a material with potential energy, it can be used to produce energy.
How do you tell the difference between a renewable and a non-renewable source of energy?
The difference between renewable and nonrenewable energy is: renewable doesn't make pollution, and also you don't have to spend fuel or other stuff just to generate electricity.
What is the difference between an engine and a compressor?
not quite sure the exact but compressor is used to compress a fuel while engine changes the fuel into useful mechanical energy.
Two kinds of renewable energy from natural resources?
Wind energy and fuel made of corn.
What energy resources can produce the most amount of energy from the smallest amount of fuel?
Nuclear reactions.
What are some of Bulgaria's non-renewable resources?
coal energy, disel fuel energy, bio diesel energy
Which resources is the main source of energy in the United States?
fossil fuel
