How many years will it take for coal to renew if it is depleted in 2021?

Dear Student,

It is said that Coal takes millions of years to form under high temperature and pressure, so it is a non-renewable resource. This condition of coal now was developed in Carboniferous period which was around 300 million years ago. So you can yourself imagine how long it would take for coal to generate from today onwards. 

Also there are certain factors that generates coal, that are dense forests, lands, deep sea and many more, but as the scenario is changing now so it is near to impossible to get the amount of coal in future that we are using today from our nature. Therefore, we are trying to find different energy options which can save our future generation. 

Regards.
