Yes, petroleum comes from organic matter such as plants and algae that have stored energy from the sun through a process called photosynthesis millions of years ago. Over time, this organic matter gets buried and transformed into petroleum through geological processes.
The energy from the petroleum is only accessable when the fuel is burnt, if the petroleum itself doesn't undergo burning the energy isn't released. So the energy is called 'stored' or 'potential' energy.
Petroleum provides about 35% of the world's total energy consumption.
Petroleum contains chemical energy that is released when it is burned to produce heat and power. This energy comes from the carbon and hydrogen molecules present in petroleum.
Potential energy is obtained from petroleum as a stored energy source. When petroleum is burned, the chemical potential energy stored within it is converted into heat energy that can be used to generate electricity or power vehicles.
Petrol is formed from ancient organic materials that derived their energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Plants absorbed sunlight to grow and store energy in the form of carbon-based compounds, which over time, were converted into petroleum through geological processes.
If we assume that petroleum was created from decaying plants, the ultimate energy source is the Sun's energy.If we assume that petroleum was created from decaying plants, the ultimate energy source is the Sun's energy.If we assume that petroleum was created from decaying plants, the ultimate energy source is the Sun's energy.If we assume that petroleum was created from decaying plants, the ultimate energy source is the Sun's energy.

Petroleum energy is energy derived from petroleum products: gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, etc.
It is usually believed that petroleum is the result of decay of living beings - i.e., plants and animals. Probably mainly plants. These plants get their energy from the Sun. Animals, which directly or indirectly eat plants, thus also indirectly get their energy from the Sun.
No, it is completely different. Petroleum is a fossil fuel
Coal, Petroleum, Sun, Wind, Nuclear power, Geothermal power, Natural Gas, and Biomass are all energy resources.
