Explanation
Non-renewable energy sources are finite resources that cannot be replenished on a human timescale. Petroleum is a fossil fuel formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient organic matter; once extracted and consumed, it cannot be replaced.
- Solar energy and Wind energy are inexhaustible renewable resources powered by the sun and atmospheric pressure gradients, respectively.
- Biogas is considered a renewable source because it is produced through the anaerobic decomposition of organic waste (biomass), which can be continuously generated through agricultural and domestic activities.
Since petroleum reserves are limited and take geological ages to form, it is classified as a non-renewable source of energy.
