as far as i know its because some fuels are atomically more dense than others, also because the technology we have may not burn some fuels as efficiently as others

How is potential chemical energy of fossil fuels released?
When chemicals burn and it sometimes release ashes and the fuel is converted to heat and light energy
How do fossil fuels store energy?
Fossil fuels contain the chemical energy that plants and algae obtained from sunlight and then stored in sugars. Just as energy chemical energy is stored in sugars, chemical energy is stored in fossil fuels. All it takes to release it is enough heat and oxygen to cause the fuel to burn.
How do fossil fuels convert chemical energy?
When you burn it, the chemical energy is converted to thermal energy.
What do people burn for fuel?
People burn fossil fuels to get the energy stores in then the energy then causes the engines to run.Help to cook food.Help to light the surroundings.
When you burn a fossil fuel what is the potential energy converted to?
The chemical potential energy in fossil fuels is converted to thermal energy (heat) by burning them.
When fuels burn they release energy?
Yes, heat.
What do you do to fuels to release energy?
Energy is a key resource. We burn fuels to get energy. Sometimes it is also done by the environment itself.
What is Substance that release useful amounts of energy when they burn?
Fuels
How do we use fossil fuels for energy?
We burn them

Why do you need to conserve the amount of energy you use?
If you are trying to lose weight, no you should expend more of your muscle energy. Otherwise, yes. Additional energy expenditures force us to burn fossil fuels.
