Yes, firewood is a convential source of energy. It is because firewood is widely used for cooking and heating in our country, more than 50% of energy used in villages come from firewood.it has become difficult to use firewood because of decreasing forest area.
Advantages of using firewood:-
* Most common in rural areas of India for cooking.
* Easily available to the villagers.
Disadvantages of using firewood:-
* Leads to deforestation.
* Time consuming.
* Polluting can cause eye pollution.
* Gives green house effect.
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.
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.
Well it depends on how you look at it. Firewood itself isn't because it isn't producing any thermal or electric energy. If you are looking at it as firewood being burned then yes it is an indirect form of solar because it is being converted to thermal energy
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.
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

Examples are Coal, natural gas, oil, firewood and hydro
Currently, human's conventional source of energy is fossil fuel.
No, wind energy is a non-conventional, or unconventional source of energy. Conventional sources of energy are coal, oil, natural gas and uranium.
non conventional
The original source of the energy in any combustible plant material is from the sun.
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.
no clue seriously
wind
food and water
non conventional energy = renewable energy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy
