• Coal, oil, and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels.

Advantages

• Readily available (at the moment)
• Relatively easy to produce energy from them

Disadvantages

• Non-renewable source – will eventually run out
• Increasing fuel costs.
• Release carbon dioxide (CO2 ) when burnt – greenhouse gas
• Release sulphur dioxide (SO2 ) when burnt – acid rain
