Fossil fuels, such as oil, coal and gas, form if organic material is preserved from the total action of decomposers, basically buried deep and under pressure throughout millions of years.

If oxygen is present, such type of fuels can be burned and carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are liberated to atmosphere.
