Hydrocarbons are natural or artificial compounds that contain hydrogen-carbon bonds that can release energy when oxidized (mainly burned). Fossil fuels are organic hydrocarbons and are widely used to generate energy. Simpler inorganic hydrocarbons such as methane and ethane exist in substantial quantities on other planets and moons.
