Common fuels in use in fueled power plants are coal, oil, natural gas, biogas, and biomass. In nuclear reactors uranium and plutonium are often descibed as 'fuel'; thorium is a possibility that is still considered experimental.

How much fuel is needed to run a power plant for 1 day?

The amount of fuel needed to run a power plant for one day will vary depending on the type of fuel used (e.g., coal, natural gas, nuclear). For example, a coal-fired power plant may require several thousand tons of coal per day, while a natural gas power plant may need thousands of cubic meters of natural gas. The specific fuel consumption rate of the power plant and its efficiency will also impact the amount of fuel needed.
