Solid Fuel
These are solid materials that combust to produce energy. Some examples of Solid fuel are coal, charcoal, soot, wood etc. These were most likely the first fuels utilized by mankind. They were the fuels responsible for the invention of fire. Even today they have very widespread household and industrial uses. Charcoal is still a very important fuel source for all manufacturing products and power industry, And wood is still widely used in houses to cook food and provide warmth.
Liquid Fuel
These are the fuels we burn to produce mechanical energy and kinetic energy. Most liquid fuels such as crude oil form due to exposure to intense heat and pressure to fossilized remains of plants and animals. Then there are biofuels in liquid form such as ethanol and hydrogen fuel. These fuels are easy to transport and relatively easy to use,
Fuel Gas
Fuel Gas as the name suggests are fuels that are in a gaseous state under normal conditions. Some examples are methane, carbon monoxide, propane etc. They have an advantage that they can be easily transported to the place of consumption. However, they also tend to leak from pipes and every precaution must be taken to avoid this. The best example would be the CNG gas that comes to your kitchen via pipes that you utilize for cooking. This is also known as Domestic fuel.
Biofuel
Biofuel can be solid, liquid or a gas. The only condition is that it must be derived from Biomass. So essentially it is fuel derived from living matter that can be replenished. One such example is ethanol made from sugarcane wastes
Fossil Fuel
These are conventional fuels. They are also non-replenishable. They have formed over thousands of years in the earth’s core where fossilized remains of animals and plants have been exposed to high pressure and temperatures. These are fast depleting and our dependence on them is a major concern for all of humanity.
