The main components of air that react during combustion of fuels are oxygen and sometimes nitrogen. Oxygen is necessary for the combustion process to occur, while nitrogen can react at high temperatures to form nitrogen oxides (NOx).

Why fossil fuels burn?

Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas burn because they contain chemical energy stored from ancient organic matter. When exposed to heat or a spark, the carbon and hydrogen in fossil fuels react with oxygen in the air, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. This process is known as combustion.
