LaoMillion of years
thousands of years for the fossils to turn into fuels but to make then it can take up to two weeks
It's estimated by scientists that it will run out in around 30 years time. Unless they find a lot more.

How long does a fossil fuel last?
Fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources, meaning they are finite in supply and will eventually run out. The length of time it takes for fossil fuels to be depleted depends on various factors such as consumption rates, reserves, and advancement of alternative energy sources. It is estimated that at current consumption rates, fossil fuels could last for several decades to several hundred years.
How can you make fosil fuels last longer?
The earth only has a finite amount of fossil fuels. Using them efficiently will help make them last as long as possible. Using fuel efficient cars, taking the bus, and walking more can help make fossil fuels last longer.
Why won't fossil fuels last forever?
Fossil fuels are finite resources that are formed over millions of years from organic material. As we continue to burn fossil fuels at a rapid rate, we are depleting these resources much faster than they can be replenished. Ultimately, this will lead to their extinction.
Does Australia have enough fossil fuels to last forever?
I would have to say no, because no fossil fuels last forever, as they are nonrenewable resources and the definition of nonrenewable is that they will eventually become nonexistent.
The majority of the worlds electricity is supplied by burning 2 words?
fossil fuels
Is Petroleum limited resources?
Petroleum is called "fossil fuel." Fossil fuels are made after a long time out of decaying organisms. Because it takes so long to create fossil fuels, and because it isn't taking us long to use fossil fuels, they are limited. How much petroleum we have left is unknown, but there is a limit.
How long will fossil fuels be available for your use?
scientists show that fossil fuels will be nowhere to be found in the next 20 to 30 years
Why are these resources referred to as fossil fuels?
"Fossil fuels" refers to fuels, such as carbon and petroleum, that are generally believed to originate as fossils.
How are fossil fuels converted to fuels?
how r fossil fuels canverted to fuels
Why is it Important that we find viable alternatives to fossil fuels for our electricity generation?
Basically two reasons.1) Fossil fuels won't last forever - we will run out of these fuels pretty soon. 2) Fossil fuels produce contamination, including filling the atmosphere with greenhouse gases.
An energy-rich substance formed from the remains of organisms is?
Fossil Fuels =)
Are fossil fuels sustainable?
No, fossil fuels are not sustainable because they are finite resources that deplete over time and have negative environmental impacts like air and water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change. Transitioning to renewable energy sources is necessary for long-term sustainability.
