Other primary sources available includes nuclear energy from radioactive substance , thermal energy stored in earth interior and potential energy due to earth gravity.

Primary energy source are mostly converted in industrial utilities into secondary energy source; for example coal , oil or gas converted into steam and electricity .

2) COMMERCIAL ENERGY AND NON-COMMERCIAL ENERGY:-

COMMERCIAL ENERGY :-

The energy sources that are available in the market for a definite price are known as commercial energy . By far the most importent forms of commercial energy are electricity, coal , and refined petroleum products.
