Best Answer

when the wood burns, chemical reactions occur that change chemical potential energy into thermal energy and light enery. Well, the released energy just simply turns into thermal and light enery.

Is firewood an indirect form of solar energy?

Well it depends on how you look at it. Firewood itself isn't because it isn't producing any thermal or electric energy. If you are looking at it as firewood being burned then yes it is an indirect form of solar because it is being converted to thermal energy

Which form of energy is firewood?

In ordinary usage, firewood would commonly be considered a form of potential energy, before it is lit aflame. That is, the wood is then said to possess energy that is ready to be transferred to work. Once on fire, kinetic energy is said to be released. More precisely, the wood may be said to contain chemical energy on the macroscopic level, but both potential and kinetic energy on the atomic and subatomic levels. The firewood energy is renewable form of energy. It can be renewed by growing woody plants.
