Presuming you mean fuel that is burned, coal, oil and gas come from underground mines and wells. Some experimental or small scale stations burn rubbish or biomass such as elephant grass grown for the purpose. Nuclear stations don't burn anything, but their raw material is often called fuel. This is often uranium, which is also mined.
