fossil fuel reserves

Fossil fuel reserves are natural accumulations of oil, natural gas, and coal that are economically feasible to extract and use today. These reserves are the remaining deposits underground or underwater that can be technically and financially recovered with current technology. They represent the estimated quantities of fossil fuels that we can access and utilize before they are depleted. While reserves grow with new discoveries and improved extraction methods, they are finite resources, and their availability depends on economic, technological, and environmental factors. Managing these reserves is essential for energy planning and understanding future supply limitations.
