Burning oil drum, composite image. Fossil fuels are made from decomposing plants and animals. Oil is an example of a fossil fuel. These fuels are found in Earth's crust and contain carbon and hydrogen, which can be burned for energy. Fossil fuels are by far the largest contributor to global climate change, accounting for over 75 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
