fuels are classified into three categories on the basis of physical state.
1.Solid fuels. Ex- wood, animal dung
2.Liquid fuels. Ex- Kerosene oil, petrol
3.Gaseous fuels.Ex-Biogas ,Hydrogen
Fuels that can be used only once are classified as non-renewable. They are also usually fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
require a long period of time to form
take millions of years to form
Fossil fuels are classified as non-renewable sources. Examples of fossil fuels are coal and petroleum. They are termed non-renewable because they were produced organically over millions of years. if the limit quantity of fossil fuels are used up, it will be difficult to replace them.
Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity is the main source of air pollution, in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) (a greenhouse gas classified as a pollutant when it is added to the atmosphere).

oil fuels & gas fuels
The three chief fossil fuels in energy production are coal, petroleum (oil), and natural gas.Peat is also classified as a fossil fuel because its renewal rate is so very slow it is considered to be essentially non-renewable.Fossil fuels have been used for centuries to power industries and machines.
The only one classified as non-renewable is fossil fuels. In fact, fossil fuels are the ONLY energy resources that are classified as non-renewable, simply because we know that there must be a finite supply, however large. Similar forms of bio-energy such as peat may be considered non-renewable because of the long time frame required to replace it compared to its rate of use. So when we say "non-renewable" it means that oil cannot be created to meet future demands on human time scales.

Alternatives fuels are fuels that are not made from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Non-fossil fuels, renewable fuels.
