Liquid fuels are those combustible or energy-generating molecules that can be harnessed to create mechanical energy, usually producing kinetic energy; they also must take the shape of their container. Most liquid fuels, in widespread use, are or derived from fossil fuels; however, there are several types, such as hydrogen fuel (for automotive uses), which are also categorised as a liquid fuel.

Only oil and natural gas from wells in the ground or under the sea, which access fuel formed from plants that died millions of years ago.
There are some other liquid-fuels that are not fossil fuels. For example, bio-ethanol is made from fermented plant-material, such as corn.
Liquid hydrogen can be made by using electricity from any source (including nuclear power-stations) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. You then compress the hydrogen into liquid hydrogen and store it in a tank in the car. This is just one method and it is expensive.

coal, oil and gas are fossil fuels because they are from fossilised vegetation.
