How is natural gas renewable?

Answer 1

Natural gas is not renewable. The large deposits of natural gas have required millions of years to accumulate and would be difficult to reproduce without another several millions of years. The components of natural gas, primarily methane, can be produced by anaerobic digestion of organic materials such as plant waste, sewage or other materials. In this way fuel gas is renewable but natural gas is not.

Answer 2

Natural gas is not considered a renewable energy source because it is a fossil fuel formed from organic matter over millions of years. It is a finite resource that can be depleted over time. Renewability is typically associated with sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power that are naturally replenished.
