Non-renewable fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas.

They are called fossil fuels because they are made out of fossilized vegetation and animal matter that was laid down under the ground millions of years ago.

They are called non-renewable because when they are burnt (in industry, transport and to generate electricity) they are gone for ever. They can only be used once. (Unlike sunshine or wind power, which can be used over and over, and are called renewable.)
