Kerosene is a collection of hydrocarbons derived from crude oil a nonrenewable resource which will run out. So at the moment Kerosene is not a renewable source of energy.

However work is currently underway to make use of various plants which can be used to create other hydrocarbons such as ethanol and break these down to basic molecules then through a process known as reforming it is possible to make these simple hydrocarbons become more complex ones such as the components of kerosene.

So in the future Kerosene along with all other hydrocarbons could become renewable and become a source of burnable energy as new chemical techniques are formulated.

What is a lamps source of energy?

That would depend on the sort of lamp it is. If it was a gas lamp it would be chemical energy If it was an electric lamp it would be electrical energy However you should understand that on Earth 99.9 % of the energy comes originally from the Sun. The Sun's energy is the ultimate source of stored chemical energy and the ultimate source of the electrical energy we use.

A kerosene lamp, like a candle, an oil lamp, a gasoline lantern and other light sources of a similar nature produce light by burning a fuel using the oxygen in the atmosphere for combustion. Compared to the white light from the sun or from white LEDs and some electric bulbs, the light from burning sources is more of a yellow color.


What is the energy transfer for a lamp you plug into the wall?

The energy transfer for a lamp plugged into the wall involves the electrical energy from the power source (wall outlet) being converted into light energy by the lamp's bulb. The electrical energy powers the lamp's circuit, which then produces light as a form of energy.
