Carbon-based fuel is any fuel principally from the oxidation or burning of carbon.Carbon-based fuels are of two main kinds, biofuels and fossil fuels.Whereas biofuels are derived from recent-growth organic matter [1] and are typically harvested, as with logging of forests and cutting of corn, fossil fuels are of prehistoric origin [2] and are extracted from the ground, the principal fossil ...
Fuel comes in three types: Fossil fuel is natural gas, fuel derived from petroleum (LPG, gasoline, kerosene, gas/diesel, fuel oil), or from coal (anthracite, bituminous coal, coke, blast furnace gas). Secondly, there is renewable fuel (biofuel and fuel derived from waste). And lastly, the fuel used for district heating.

The ratio of the annual increase in atmospheric CO 2 compared to CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel and cement manufactured is called the "airborne fraction.". [ 26 ] The airborne fraction has been around 60% since the 1950s, indicating that about 60% of the new carbon dioxide in the atmosphere each year originated from human sources. [ 10 ]

Note that although coal, oil and natural gas are derived from sunlight, [5] they are considered primary energy sources which are extracted from the earth (fossil fuels). Natural uranium is also a primary energy source extracted from the earth but does not come from the decomposition of organisms (mineral fuel).
