How can wood be made a renewable source of energy?
Wood is renewable if new trees are grown to replace those that were cut down. The new trees absorb the CO2 from the atmosphere that the burning process produces.
Differentiate renewable from non-renewable energy?
the wind is a type of renewable energy-use it and some will come along later. once you burn coal,it's gone -certainly in your lifetime-it's non renewable. A renewable fuel is anything that can replenish at roughly the same rate we consume it. Corn used for ethanol is one example. The corn replenishes at a rate as fast as we use it. Non renewable is anything that we consume at a rate faster then we can replenish. For example, we have roughly 700 years of oil left. Once this is gone, we will not have anything left. Coal, oil, nuclear and trees are examples. Trees could be renewable if we consumed at the same or lower rate then we grew new ones to maturity.
What are some environmental reasons for using renewable energy instead of fossil fuels?
Lowers carbon emissions, reduces global warming, increases new eco jobs in the industries creating new technologies, thereby increasing growth.
What are some new sources of energy being studied in hopes that they will replace fossil fuels?
Some examples include:windsolar photovoltaicsolar thermalhydroelectricnuclear fissiongeothermaltidalocean currentwavebiomasswaste to energyThese are not really NEW as we have been using these sources for many years. Even nuclear fusion is not new.It is important to understand that Hydrogen is not an energy source. It can be used to store and distribute energy, after it has been produced by splitting water, but we can't mine Hydrogen like we do mine Coal - so it is not a source.

Why is natural gas nonrenewable?
Renewable sources are the sources that naturally replenish themselves. This is not the case with natural gas. Forms of renewable energy are the sun and wind energy. There is a new source for both at all times.
Is soil a nonrenewable energy source?
Soil is not an energy resource. New soil is made all the time through the decomposition of vegetation. It is a renewable resource.
An example of a renewable enrgy source is?
Hi there A good example of a renewable energy is wood Burning if you are prepared to plant at least one new tree for each one you burn. Geoff Lord
What other renewable and non-renewable energy resources there are available to the new zealand government?
Renewable energy sources:Hydroelectric power accounts for 57% of the total electricity generation in New Zealandgeothermal 9%wind supplies 3% of New Zealand's demand for electricityNon-renewable energy sources:Natural gasSome coal
Renewable energy resources get smaller when you use them and can't be replaced - true or false?
False. Renewable means that they'll return. Trees area a renewable source, as they can be planted and new ones will grow up within a reasonable time.
Is biomass renewable or nonrenewable?
It is a renewable source of energy because ALL vegetation gets its energy from the sun and regrows. Oil would not be an example of renewable energy because it takes millions of years to produce. It is definitely currently a renewable source of energy, but consider this. Biomass is renewable because it does not take 100,000 years or more to make it or for it to be made like oil. We can grow new crops, new trees, and they grow fast enough to use. But if we had only them would they still be renewable? It also takes a large amount of product to make biomass (like fertilizer to grow crops) and the prices go up, the more of it that is used (like the spikes in the cost for corn we have seen). Is it renewable, yes. Should it be? To an extent. If we had only that would it be like oil where we could not make enough? Of course.
What is meaning of MNRE?
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy
Since matter can not be destroyed but converted to energy new energy destroys hydogen what then is the renewable source of hydrogen?
There isn't any ... when it's all used up then the universe grows cold and dead.
Is geothermal a renewable energy source?
Depends. Since geothermal energy is using heat from the Earth, it can last forever. However, since Earth is just a planet that is cooling down, it loses heat every year. So it is a renewable energy source for now, until the planet loses its heat. Though in the Earth, there is always some chemical reaction going on, and they produce heat. Therefore, no one is sure if it is a renewable energy source for the future, but it is for now.Yes, it is, the geothermal hot rocks underground keep on making steam only if we keep on feeding it water.Strictly speaking geothermal energy is not renewable as we can't grow or make new energy to replace it. It is however essentially inexhaustible as it is renewed by processes like radioactive decay and tidal friction in the magma.It is not 'renewable' if you mean "can humanity restore it?", as it must with trees, for example.It is self-renewing - the Earth is constantly giving off its heat to water which is close enough to the heat to be warmed by it. It is not diminished to any noticeable extent by our using it.It is not so much a renewable energy source as it is a persistent energy source.It's capacity is theoretically unlimited.In simple terms, it is deemed to be a renewable energy source.Yes its a renewable source because it comes from the Earth and formed from the heat so they take advantage of the heat to make geothermal energy.
