When a fossil fuel is burned chemical energy that is stored within the fuel is released via combustion. This then turns into steam which turns turbines to form electrical energy.
So Chemical to heat to mechanical to electrical

Nuclear power plants can produce energy more cheaply and with less pollution them plants that use fossil fuels why are there not more nuclear power plants dad plants that burn fossil fuels?
The problem of disposing large amounts of nuclear waste is not resolved.
What is the difference in how heat is obtained in geothermal power plant and fossil fueled power plants?
Geothermal energy comes from the earth, meaning getting heat from magma within the earth, whereas fossil fueled power plants burn fossil fuels, like oil turned into gas.
How does a power plant transform energy in fossil fuels to electrical energy?
steps for power plant transform fossil fuels
How can Geothermal Energy be used as a substitute for Fossil fuel energy in homes today?
If the location is suitable for geothermal energy use, that is, if there are hot rocks not too far below the surface of the earth, then a power plant can be built. This will generate clean electricity which can be fed into the grid and so to homes. Geothermal power plants mean that polluting fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power plants can be phased out.
What energy comes from things besides fossil fuels?
What energy comes from things besides fossil fuels
Compare and contrast coal power plants and energy in hearing?
coal uses fossil fuels and nuclear power plants doesn't
What is Frances main energy source?
Nuclear power plants and fossil fuels such as petroleum.
How are fossil fuels used to generate energy?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are burnt in vehicles and electricity power plants. This releases the energy.

How are nuclear power plants different from other plants?
The source of the energy is the nuclear reactor, rather than a furnace for burning fossil fuels.
What do fossil fuel like coal oil and natural gas production connection with eletricity?
Electricity is generated in power plants; those power plants need some energy source. One option for such an energy source is fossil fuel like coal, oil, and natural gas.
Where do you use fossil fuels?
As fuel for power plants. vehicle engines, coal power plants, oil for heating, etc. It's all fossil fuels. burn them to get heat and use the heat to make energy in some fashion, basically.
Where do power plants get their energy from?
Power plants get their energy from burning fossil fuels, from fission of uranium, or the energy of water falling under gravity. There are also plants on a smaller scale that can get energy from the sun, wind, earth's thermal energy, burning biomass, tides and waves. Powerful plants, such as an oddish, or a carnovine, get their energy from synthesis. And if they have enough energy, they can even fire a solarbeam attack! :DDD
How does fossil fuels get converted into electricity?
Actually the energy of fossil fuels is converted into electricity.In thermal power plants fossil fuels are used to heat the water and steam is formed.Then that pressurized steam helps in rotating turbines and energy is formed.
How is fossil fuels used to produce energy?
when we burn fossil fuels such as oil,gas and coal we produce heat.This can be used to fuel power plants which is where most of our energy for electronic devices and heating are funded
What fossil fuels are used in power plants?
All fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are used in power plants.
