For electricity the main conventional fuels are coal and natural gas, and hydro power would also be considered conventional. Nuclear probably not, though it has been in use over 50 years now. For transport and the chemical industry, oil is the main conventional fuel

How can solar energy replace conventional sources of energy in various fields?
Solar energy is a renewable energy source. It is sourced from the sun, which in human timeframes has a long life for energy output. Solar energy is therefore an almost infinite energy source. Most convential energy sources (uranium, coal, oil, gas, etc.) are unrenewable. Such energy sources are sourced from the earth and so are finite. The timeframes for the "finite-ness" of conventional energy sources vary and are disputed. Conventional energy sources also produce negative by-products through their conversion to thermal energy, kinetic energy, and electric energy, such as radioactive waste, sulphur, CO2, etc. Solar energy is a clean (i.e. minimal negative by-products) but diffuse energy source. Current technology developed to capture solar energy is inefficient in capturing and concentrating the energy for distribution and use as thermal energy, and electrical energy, compared to conventional sources.
What is conventional energy?
Energy that has been used from ancient times is known as conventional energy. Coal, natural gas, oil, and firewood are examples of conventional energy sources.Basically A Fossil Fuel.
What conventional energy sources?
Conventional energy sources are energy sources that are considered normal to use. For example, coal, nuclear, geothermal, hydroelectricity, and natural gas are sources of conventional energy. Non-conventional energy would include something completely weird and disliked, like burning corpses or puppies for energy.
What are the conventional and non conventional energy sources in the Philippines?
hahhahahhaaha thi si the best answer! [][][][]
What is the source of energy behind the carbon cycle?
Solar energy is the source of energy behind the carbon cycle.
What are conventional source of energy for mankind?
Currently, human's conventional source of energy is fossil fuel.
Is wind energy a conventional source of energy?
No, wind energy is a non-conventional, or unconventional source of energy. Conventional sources of energy are coal, oil, natural gas and uranium.
Which is a better source of energy conventional and non conventional sources of energy?
non conventional
How convert conveniotional energy into non conventional energy?
You don't. There is no difference in the type of energy, between the "conventional" and "non-conventional" types. What makes energy conventional or non-conventional is the SOURCE - a conventional source being one that has been used for a long time.
How alternate source of energy can be used in place of conventional source of energy?
no clue seriously
What is a non conventional energy source?
wind
What are the conventional source of energy?
food and water
What ia a non conventional source of energy?
non conventional energy = renewable energy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy
Sources of energy for electricity dendrothermal?
Non Conventional Source of Energy
Which is the best non conventional energy source?
dvszfvdvfdv
Difference between conventional and non conventional sources of energy?
There is no absolute hard and fast definition. But I would say coal, oil, and natural gas, and hydro are conventional. Wind, solar, tidal, and biomass non-conventional. I'm not sure about nuclear.
Which is non conventional energy source bio gas or algae?
the bio gas that the algae produce is the energy source.
