Burning fossil fuels yields carbon dioxide, water and energy; the process of burning fossil fuels is known as “combustion”.

Fossil fuel power plants burn coal or oil to create heat which is in turn used to generate steam to drive turbines which generate electricity. ... However, burning carbon-based fuels produces large amounts of carbon dioxide, which drives climate change.

Fossil fuels include coal, petroleum, natural gas, oil shales, bitumens, tar sands, and heavy oils.

Three countries use more fossil fuels than the rest of the world combined: China, the United States and India. Together, these countries consume 54 percent of the world's fossil fuels by weight, according to the Global Material Flow Database developed by the UN Environment Programme.
