Best Answer
  • Most forms of transport use fossil fuels.
  • Most forms of electricity generation use fossil fuels.

All common fuels (coal, oil, natural gas, petroleum) are fossil fuels. Coal is a fossil fuel and it makes most of the electricity in the world.

As processes and equipment can generally be fitted out to burn either the fossil fuel or the non-fossil equivalent the answer becomes "Anything can use fossil fuel".

Hydrogen, bodiesel, digestor methane, bagasse (and similar agricultural waste), alcohol and wood (including paper etc.) are about the only non-fossil fuels.
