The fuel is refined from hydrocarbon liquids and gases derived from wells drilled deep into the Earth's crust. Those hydrocarbons were/are derived from far deeper sources in the mantle. My theory is that at certain as yet undiscovered levels of the mantle, the temperature and pressure are ideal for elemental carbon and hydrogen to combine. Over time, these hydrocarbons seep up into the crust where we find them. The ones from the deep oceans are the purest because they have not yet been exposed to the organic contamination found either in shallower seas or on terra firma.

Is energy resource or nonrenewable?
Energy can be both a resource and nonrenewable. Renewable energy sources such as sunlight and wind are resources that can be naturally replenished. Nonrenewable energy sources like fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) are finite and formed over millions of years, making them nonrenewable.
Is renewable resource or nonrenewable resources hydroelectic power?
Hydro-Electric Power is the most renewable Energy resource that we have; while Water Still Flows.
Is the energy from the sun a renewable or non-renewable resource?
The sun's energy is nonrenewable. Because if it explodes it can not be replaced in a human's lifetime (about 80 yrs).
Is fruit trees a nonrenewable resource?
A renewable resource is one which will be replaced after it is used. Wind energy is renewable because the wind will return tomorrow. Trees are renewable if you plant them again. So, fruit trees are a renewable resource.

Is a pig a nonrenewable resource or a renewable resource?
Renewable. They keep reproducing at a rapid rate. Nonrenewable would be a dinosaur since they are extinct and no longer reproduce.
