Detailed explanation-1: -Fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and gas will not last forever. They are nonrenewable.
Detailed explanation-2: -After exploring the features of renewable resources, individuals may question, “Why is oil a nonrenewable resource?” Oil is depletable because it comes from a finite liquid mixture of hydrocarbons beneath Earth’s surface.
Detailed explanation-3: -Crude oil, also referred to as petroleum oil, is the only non-renewable resource that is extracted in liquid form. It is found between the layers of the earth’s crust, or between the rocks, and it is retrieved by drilling a vertical well into the ground and ocean floor.
Detailed explanation-4: -Examples include: biofuels (e.g. Vegetable oil used as fuel, ethanol, methanol from clean energy and carbon dioxide or biomass, and biodiesel), Hydrogen fuel (when produced with renewable processes), and fully synthetic fuel (also known as electrofuel) produced from ambient carbon dioxide and water.
