Natural gas, methane, the fossil fuel, is NOT a renewable resource.
Natural gas, methane, produced from pig manure and rotting vegetation and collected from landfills IS a renewable resource.
It cannot be renewed from its original source as fossil fuel. Much of the natural gas we are burning now formed in deposits buried during the Devonian period, 300 million years ago. It is possible natural gas could form in as little as 50 million years.
None of the fossil fuels are considered to be renewable in that sense. But, since natural gas is primarily methane, and methane is readily available and obtainable from renewable sources other than gas wells drilled into conventional underground reservoirs, it can be considered renewable.
Methane can be derived from organic matter undergoing decomposition. For example in many parts of India, methane is generated through decomposition of both human and livestock feces, gathered and used as cooking gas. Methane can be recovered from organic matter decomposing in land fills and through processing of animal waste. .

Which is renewable coal natural gas uranium wind?
Only the wind is a renewable energy resource.
Is natural gas a renewable or non-renewable resource?
While natural gas is a fossil fuel and not renewable, methane (the main component of natural gas) is recoverable from many industrial processes such as anaerobic digestion and by tapping into gas created by landfill sites, This secondary source is producible as it involves the chemical reduction of biological materials.
Is diamond a renewable resource?
No. Diamond is a natural resource, which is harvested and commodified, like oil or coal or natural gas taken from the earth.
Are natural gas oil and coal products examples of non renewable or renewable resourcs?
Natural gas, oil and coal products are all examples of non-renewable resources. The definition of a non-renewable resource is: any natural resource from the Earth that exists in limited supply and cannot be replaced if it is used up; also, any natural resource that cannot be replenished by natural means at the same rates that it is consumed.
