Oil is it renewable

Answer 1

Fossil fuel oil is non-renewable.

Most of our oil is non renewable. If it is vegetable oil, of course, then it is renewable.

There are ways to make "renewable" oil and diesel, by using algae and other plant life. There is also thermal depolymerization which can convert many waste type products into oil. I remember reading somewhere about a company that was taken previously useless turkey carcass and converting it into gallons of oil.

Oil is a non-renewable resource. Oil, as well as other fossil-fuels, can take thousands, if not millions of years, to be formed naturally. In order for a resource to be considered renewable, it must be capable of being sustainably consumed. At the current rate of consumption, the oil supply will be limited to how much is actually remaining in the Earth's crust.
non-renewablr Oil (the hydrocarbon) is not considered renewable. Once the oil is taken out of the ground and used as a fuel, lubricant or anything else, it is gone. No new oil gets created to take its place within any reasonable amount of time. It takes millions of years to create more oil from decaying living things.

Oil (the carbohydrate) is renewable. It is extracted from various plants that grow. Once the plant is harvested, more plants can be grown to obtain additional oil in a short amount of time. Examples of this oil are corn oil, sunflower oil, cottonseed oil. Although these oils are used as a food source. Then can also be burned as an energy source with the right kind of engine.

Answer 2

Yes it is nonrenewable, once it is used it cannot be re-formed, but................

Strictly speaking, oil might be formed over long periods of time in the same way as it was originally formed. If the world warmed up and we had tropical forests all over, then these decayed and were overlaid with new rocks, oil could be re-formed. However we are then talking of hundreds of millions of years, and mankind would have disappeared and been replaced with other forms of life. For all practical purposes as far as the human race is concerned. oil is non renewable

Answer 3

Oil is considered a non-renewable resource because it is formed over millions of years from the remains of plants and animals. Once we extract and use oil, it cannot be replenished within a human lifetime.

Answer 4

Things are non-renewable when they can only be used once. Oil can only be used once.

Sunlight, used in solar power, can be used every day till the end of time.

Answer 5

No, not in human timescales.

It is considered non-renewable because, eventually, it will run out.
