Wood, oil, coal and other forms of fossil fuels are burned inside combustion engines to convert chemical energy into heat or motion. These molecules are part of chemical compounds or fuels such as coal, oil, biomass, wood, animal waste, natural gas, food, etc. and they all constitute chemical energy sources that produce heat usually through combustion. Energy exists in many forms but there are mainly two large categories of energy: the potential and the kinetic energy.
