« Back to Glossary Index

Combustion is a chemical process in which a fuel reacts with an oxidizing agent, typically oxygen, to produce heat and light.

This exothermic reaction results in the release of energy in the form of heat and the production of combustion by-products such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), water vapor, and other gases, depending on the fuel type and combustion conditions.


Combustion is a fundamental process used in various energy systems, including power generation, heating, and engines, where it is used to convert the chemical energy of fuels into usable thermal energy. Efficient combustion is crucial for maximizing energy output and minimizing harmful emissions.
