Wood is stored energy. The energy from the sun and water and carbon dioxide from the environment has been converted by a plant by photosynthesis into complex starches such as cellulose. These starches can be converted back into energy by various processes, including:
* digestion * combustion.
Stored Chemical energy being converted to, and released as Heat energy.
A burning candle produces thermal energy and light.
Wood is a fuel as it can provide energy by burning. But, it is not formed by fossils and hence not called a fossil fuel.
When wood burns, chemical energy is transformed into heat
The renewable energy resource derived from burning organic material such as wood and garbage is called biomass energy. Biomass involves the conversion of organic materials into energy through combustion or other processes, releasing stored energy in the form of heat. This energy can be used for heating, electricity generation, and biofuels. Biomass is considered renewable because it can be replenished through sustainable practices.
Energy cannot be created. (Or destroyed) Burning changes the chemical energy of the wood to heat energy and light energy.
This kind of energy is called renewable energy.
The burning of wood releases chemical energy stored in the wood in the form of heat and light. This process is known as combustion, where the wood reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy.

Burning wood in a fireplace is an example of converting chemical energy stored in the wood into heat energy and light energy through combustion.

Burning wood produces heat energy and light energy. The chemical energy stored in the wood is converted to thermal energy and radiant energy during the combustion process.
Burning wood releases chemical energy stored in the wood as potential energy during photosynthesis. This chemical energy is converted into thermal energy and light energy during combustion.
Burning is a chemical change.
Burning wood is the process of converting chemical energy in the fuel into thermal energy. Heat transfer is the process of moving thermal energy from one object to another. There are different types oh heat transfer including radiation, conduction and convection. Basically, the wood burning is a spontaneous process, theoretically, but in order for the process to become under way something called the activation energy must be overcome, which means that an energy of that magnitude must be applied to the wood to get it burning (oxidising). This usually comes in the form of a spark or a flame from your lighter. So once you apply that activation energy from your lighter, the wood begins to burn, and the burning of the wood itself produces heat to propagate the process. So long as there is oxygen, fuel (such as wood or octane for example) and the initial spark, then you have fire!
