| Fuel | Supply or power (an industrial plant, vehicle, or machine) with fuel. |
| Heat | The quality of being hot; high temperature. |
| Kinetic energy | Energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | Conservation of energy: the fundamental principle of physics that the total energy of an isolated system is constant despite internal changes |
| Non-renewable resources | A non-renewable resource is a natural resource which cannot be produced, grown, generated, or used on a scale which can sustain its consumption rate. These resources often exist in a fixed amount, or are consumed much faster than nature can create them. |
| Potential energy | The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors. |
| Renewable energy | Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished). |
