Today, carbon-rich deposits are primarily burned as fossil fuels, which include:
1. **Coal**: A solid fossil fuel formed from the remains of ancient plants, it is primarily used for electricity generation and industrial processes.
2. **Oil (Petroleum)**: A liquid fossil fuel derived from ancient marine organisms, oil is refined into various products, including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil.
3. **Natural Gas**: A gaseous fossil fuel mainly composed of methane, it is used for heating, electricity generation, and as a feedstock in chemical processes.
These fossil fuels are significant sources of energy but also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change when burned.
