Oil and natural gas energy is only a small part of the Oil Industry. Keep in mind, the oil used for your car, the propane for you BBQ, the Butane for your lighters, soldering irons, and blowtorches, and even more all come from the Oil Industry. It is beneficial because it is so common. It is not beneficial because it isn't renewable.

Oil and natural gas substitutes or complements?

Oil and natural gas are both fossil fuels and are often used interchangeably for energy production. However, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and biomass can serve as substitutes for oil and natural gas. Additionally, technologies such as electric vehicles can also act as substitutes for oil in the transportation sector.


Is natural gas or natural oil conventional or non conventional?

Generally, the fuel gas we use comes from underground reservoirs, or natural gas, and this is a conventional source. However, a very small part of natural gas sources is the methane found in coal seams. It is being produced and marketed as natural gas and often classified as an unconventional source of natural gas. We generally don't use the term "natural oil" but rather crude oil, that is a conventional source. Oil and gas can be produced as biofuels, and these are considered unconventional sources.


What are some non-renewable sources of energy?

Can coal oil and natural gas be used?

Yes, coal, oil, and natural gas can all be used as energy sources for various purposes, such as electricity generation, heating, and transportation. However, their use can also have environmental impacts, such as greenhouse gas emissions for oil and gas and air pollution for coal. There is a push towards transitioning to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources to reduce these impacts.
