The document defines a fuel as anything that can be burned to produce energy or power. It discusses fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. It then explains that oil and natural gas are burned at power stations to heat water and produce steam, which turns turbines and spins generators to produce electricity that flows through wires.

7. WE BURN FOSSIL FUELS TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY
Oil-fired power station
Oilis delivered to
the power station.
The oil is burned to
heat water, producing
steam
The steam pushes
the turbines,
forcing them to
spin very fast
The generators
produce
electricity which
flows into the wires.
