The sun. Fossil fuels are made up of plants and animals that lived in the past and have been converted to fossil fuels by geological processes over time. And as plants convert the suns energy into sugars, fossil fuels are stored solar energy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The energy comes from the energy that was previously in dead plants/animals... to understand better read about the carboniferous period. It explains how fossil fuels were created, through the compression of decaying plant material that had lots of locked up carbon underneath layers of sediments.
What else can I help you with?
Is nuclear a fuel or a fossil fuel?
Nuclear energy is not a fossil fuel or any fuel at all. Radiation is used to create energy. The energy is "the Fuel" petroleum
Is geothermal energy a fossil fuel?
No. Fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas. Geothermal energy is a clean renewable energy powered by the heat from the centre of the earth. It is the only renewable energy whose power does not come from the sun.
What is the defeniton of a fossil fuel power plant?
A fossil fuel power plant is a system of devices for the conversion of fossil fuel energy to mechanical work or electric energy
Did the energy that is stored in fossil fuels come from fission or fusion reactions from the sun?
Not fission. The sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion, and that energy produced all the vegetation which turned into fossil fuel.
Is solar energy fossil fuel?
No it isn't a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels include coal and oil.
What are other energy besides fossil fuels?
Fossil fuel is not energy its a energy source and yes there is more energy sources besides the fossil fuel like coal and others.
Is water a fossil fuel energy?
No.
Is fossil fuel nuclear energy?
No because fossil fuel is its own energy from decayed things just like nuclear has its own.
Is geothermal not a fossil fuel or is it a fossil fuel?
Geothermal energy is not a fossil fuel, because it is harnessing energy from the thermal heat energy within the earth and is not dependent upon decomposed ancient plants and animals, which is what coal, oil, and natural gas are, which is why they are called "fossil fuels."
What are not considered fossil fuel?
Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal energy are not considered fossil fuels. These sources come from natural processes that are replenished over time, unlike fossil fuels which are finite and come from ancient organic matter.
Is geothermal energy considered a fossil fuel?
No, geothermal energy is not considered a fossil fuel. It is a renewable energy source that comes from the heat within the Earth's crust.
Is fossil fuel another name for non-renewable energy?
yes, fossil fuel is another name for non-renewable energy sources.
