∙ 6y agoFossil fuels store energy through a process called photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into chemical energy through the absorption of carbon dioxide and water. Over millions of years, this stored energy becomes trapped in the Earth's crust and is transformed into fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. The primary form of energy stored in fossil fuels is chemical energy.
Solar energy is stored in fossil fuels through a process called photosynthesis. Plants absorb sunlight to create energy, which is stored in their tissues as chemical energy. When these plants die and decompose, the stored energy is preserved over millions of years and transformed into fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
Chemical energy is stored in fossil fuels, resulting from the organic matter that underwent decomposition over millions of years. This energy is released when the fossil fuels are burned or combusted.
Chemical energy from organic matter is stored in fossil fuels. When burned, this energy is released in the form of heat, which is converted into kinetic energy to produce electricity or power engines, for example.
Potential
Energy is stored in fossil fuels through the chemical bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms. When these bonds are broken through combustion, a chemical reaction releases energy in the form of heat and light. This process allows the stored energy in fossil fuels to be converted into usable forms of energy like electricity or heat.

electromagnetic energy
Chemical energy is stored in fossil fuels, resulting from the organic matter that underwent decomposition over millions of years. This energy is released when the fossil fuels are burned or combusted.
Chemical potential energy

No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.
When fossil fuels are burned, some of the chemical energy stored in them is converted into thermal energy.

Chemical potential energy.
it is stored as something called prototype energy which is energy, a little more abundant than fossil fuels. +++ "prototype energy" doesn't exist. The energy stored in any fossil fuel, or in materials like wood, is potential chemical energy,
Yes, the type of energy stored by fossil fuels such as coal is chemical potential energy. This energy is released when the fossil fuel is burned and chemical reactions occur, resulting in the production of heat and other forms of energy such as electricity.
