Renewable energy can be renewed in a short time I.e. Wind power. Non renewable energy takes a long time, ususally millions of years, to become usuable again I.e. Fossil Fuels.

∙ 12y agoNon renewable energy is energy that can't be renewed or replaced by the exact same energy, like coal or oil. You need to find another of the same energy to use it again. In other words, once you use that energy, once you burn the oil, it is gone.

∙ 6y agoOne example of an energy resource, that is non-renewable, is coal. Coal was formed millions of year ago, and we burn it to produce thermal energy. But, we are unable to replace coal. So, once burnt it is gone for ever.

Which form of energy is firewood?
In ordinary usage, firewood would commonly be considered a form of potential energy, before it is lit aflame. That is, the wood is then said to possess energy that is ready to be transferred to work. Once on fire, kinetic energy is said to be released. More precisely, the wood may be said to contain chemical energy on the macroscopic level, but both potential and kinetic energy on the atomic and subatomic levels. The firewood energy is renewable form of energy. It can be renewed by growing woody plants.
