What generates energy
A fuel source is anything from which energy can be extracted for power or heat.
The term appears in discussions of energy policy and environmental impact, distinguishing between types: fossil fuel sources like coal and oil, renewable fuel sources such as solar and wind.
It emphasizes origin rather than the fuel itself.
