What Would Happen If We Burned All The Fossil Fuels On Earth? Natural gas being disposed of in an oil field by burning. ... Fossil fuels are considered non-renewable resources and consist of coal, oil, and natural gas. They release carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere whenburned.

This WILL happen someday. The issue is how long will it take? The decline will be very slow - - maybe fifty or 100 years. Then the price of "conventional" fuels will become very expensive. New processes will emerge and become  competitive.  Right now, "experts" say that biomass conversion to refinery crude would cost about $300/ bbl of oil. 
When pressed to the wall, people will use their collective creativity to solve a big problem. It took only a few years to make a catalytic converter. The Manhattan Project was a great example of high performance in a short time line.
Since biomass and other fuel substitutes are not exactly the same as crude oil, some modifications will be required. For example, most biomass contains huge amounts of oxygenates. As such, converting them will involved some clever chemistry.
 Simple hydrogenation will consume copious quantities of hydrogen just to make water.
If the biomass comes from algae, then we are stuck with a large amount of nitrogen compounds. We can extract the nitrogen compounds and make a valuable by-product like animal feed. Since many of the nitrogen species are linear amines, they have a fishy smell -- another problem to solve.
To summarize, there are three major issues: (1) water management, (2) low energy separation routes, and (3) identification of large biomass reserves with uniform properties.
