Today, fossil fuel industries drill or mine for these energy sources, burn them to produce electricity, or refine them for use as fuel for heating or transportation. Over the past 20 years, nearly three-fourths of human-caused emissions came from the burning of fossil fuels. The Energy Department maintains emergency petroleum reserves, ensures responsible development of Americaâs oil and gas resources and executes natural gas regulatory responsibilities.
Burning fossil fuels puts carbon into the atmosphere. Other smaller sources include industrial processes such as cement manufacture and natural gas flaring. Fossil fuels provide most of the energy that supports human transportation, electricity production, heating and cooling of buildings, and industrial activity.urning fossil fuels puts carbon into the atmosphere.
