fuel combustion
Energy release process
Fuel combustion is the chemical process of burning fuel to release energy, typically by combining it with oxygen to produce heat, light, and exhaust gases.
The term appears in technical and environmental contexts: fuel combustion accounts for most carbon dioxide emissions, internal combustion engines rely on fuel combustion to generate power.
