I suppose you could say fuel is potential energy-energy is there but something must be done to the fuel to release it. In the case of coal, oil, or gas, it must be burned which also involves oxygen, so the energy is a result of chemical reactions. In the case of nuclear the energy is contained in the fuel and is released through the nuclear fission process-every fission releases a fixed amount of energy. In all these cases the energy becomes apparent in the first place as heat, which is then used for electricity production-or in the case of fossil fuels the heat output can be directly used for heating, industrial processes, or in mechanical engines.

What energy is used to fuel the process of photosynthesis?
Solar energy.
Is steam a fuel?
No. it is an energy repository. Fuels of various kinds are used to heat water into steam. the steam has more energy than the water.
What is the external fuel of choice used by cells as a ready source of energy?
Glucose is the external fuel of choice used by cells as a ready source of energy. Cells break down glucose through a series of metabolic pathways to produce ATP, the primary energy currency of the cell.
Are gems used for fuel?
no, they are used for jewelery, mechanical parts, & grinding & polishing
What earth resource is often use for energy soil limestone methane gas or igneous rock?
Methane gas is often used as an energy resource because it is a clean-burning fossil fuel that can be used for heating, electricity generation, and as a vehicle fuel. Soil is not typically used as an energy resource, limestone is used primarily in construction and manufacturing, and igneous rock is not commonly used for energy production.
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
What happens to the energy from a fuel that thAt is not used to perform work?
Because the fuel is not used its energy is called potential energy and remains stored in the fuel until something initiates the process of ignition or energization.
What happens to energy from a fuel that is not used to perform work?
Because the fuel is not used its energy is called potential energy and remains stored in the fuel until something initiates the process of ignition or energization.
What happen to the energy from a fuel that is not used to perform work?
Because the fuel is not used its energy is called potential energy and remains stored in the fuel until something initiates the process of ignition or energization.
Is energy is a fuel?
Energy is not a fuel itself, but fuel is a source of energy. Fuel is a material that stores potential energy and can be transformed into other forms of energy such as heat, electricity, or kinetic energy.
What energy is used for a jet?
Jp5 fuel Jp5 fuel
What energy is used to fuel the process of photosynthesis?
Solar energy.
What energy is used by a truck?
Mostly chemical energy from the fuel.
When the fuel is used by the engine what energy transformation takes place?
When fuel is used by an engine, the chemical energy stored in the fuel is converted into thermal energy through combustion. The thermal energy is then used to produce mechanical energy that powers the engine, ultimately moving the vehicle or performing work.
What kind of energy uses as a fuel?
Nuclear energy is produced using uranium as a fuel. The energy produced is in form of heat energy which is used to produce electrical energy.
Fuel cells produce energy from hydrogen by?
the fuel cells convert hydrogen into energy using a converter and that energy is used to power the vehicle
Can dark matter be used as fuel for energy production?
Dark matter cannot be used as fuel for energy production because it does not interact with regular matter in a way that can be harnessed for energy generation.
