Thanks, everyone, for your answer. Based on my text and research, I don't think "一次性能源" is "non-renewable energy". Please refer to the information below:

Primary energy - Energy that exists in a naturally occurring form, such as coal, before being converted into an end-use form.

通常,人们把石油、煤炭、天然气等天然能源称为"一次性能源",而这些"一次性能源"经过加工、转换,才能成为易于使用的电力、煤气、汽油等"二次性能源".

Non-renewable energy resources


Explanation:
Please see the information linked below
http://www.scienceonline.co.uk/energy/nonrenewable.html

Worldwide there is a range of energy resources available to us. These energy resources fall into two main categories, often called renewable and non-renewable energy resources. Each of these resources can be used to generate electricity, which is a very useful way of transferring energy from one place to another such as to the home or to industry.
