Propane is a non-renewable energy source.

Why is Propane a Non-Renewable Energy Source?

Petroleum and natural gas are formed from the remains of animals and plants from times of Pangaea. They cannot be produced at a rate of which can forever support our needs. So, petroleum and natural gas are non-renewable. Propane is a small fraction of that. Propane takes even more time to produce.
