The renewable fuels I’m thinking of are bio diesel and ethanol, not wind or solar.

Fossil fuels need to be burned to release their energy and then produce their undesired byproducts as a side effect of being burned. Renewables include examples like wind, solar, water etc. Their energy is captured and then used. There is no burning or byproducts from releasing that captured or stored energy. I know there’s folks that can explain it better but that’s the basics.
