Mineral fuels are also known as fossil fuels.
Fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis. The age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years. Fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas. Other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. Fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. Methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.
The theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the Earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by Georgius Agricola in 1546 and later by Mikhail Lomonosov in the 18th century.

The mineral fuels include coal, oil, and gaseous petrol might be depicted as an exceptional kind of monetary store. Coal is the result of the gathering of land plants in huge sums, and oil and petroleum gas are the results of marine life forms.
The way that oil is quite often found in marine sedimentary rocks has, for a period, been an essential contention for an aquatic root for this material.
