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.
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.
The energy in petroleum and coal is stored as chemical energy. This energy is released when these substances are burned, producing heat and other forms of energy.
The energy in petroleum comes from organic matter, such as phytoplankton and algae, that lived millions of years ago. Over time, this organic matter was buried and subjected to heat and pressure, resulting in the formation of petroleum. When we burn petroleum, the stored energy is released as heat and light energy.

Glucose supplies energy to the body. Wind, Solar, Water. Nuclear, and coal/petroleum products provide energy to homes and businesses. Electric and gasoline provide energy for vehicles.

Fossil fuels, which provide virtually all the energy for transportation (mainly petroleum with some natural gas) and the majority of energy for electricity (mainly coal, natural gas and a small amount of petroleum).

Petroleum energy is energy derived from petroleum products: gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, etc.

Some of the many products that come from petroleum other than energy include: Gasoline, lighter fluid, kerosene, diesel oil, machine oil, heavy lubricating oils, asphalt tars, and petroleum jelly.
No, it is completely different. Petroleum is a fossil fuel
