"Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished).""A non-renewable resource is a natural resource which cannot be produced, grown, generated, or used on a scale which can sustain its consumption rate. These resources often exist in a fixed amount, or are consumed much faster than nature can create them."A:non-renewable energy is energy that can only be used once eg. (coal, oil, natural, gas, uranium etc) renewable energy is energy that can be used over and over eg. (solar power, wind power etc)A:its what energy will not be finished in the time to come. when a source is present in abundance/plenty, it is known as renewable energy such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat and A non-renewable resource is a natural resource which cannot be produced, grown, generated, or used on a scale which can sustain its consumption rate, once depleted there is no more available for future needs.

Is the energy renewable?

Yes the sun is regarded as renewable energy. We can use it as much as we like today and there's still just as much coming at us tomorrow.A:The sun is not renewable energy source, it is regarded as an inexhaustible energy source because it should last for about 4.5 billion years more. To be renewable it would have to be able to be reconstructed or repowered as it ran down - we can't do this No, the sun will eventually explode in billions of years to come

Is biofuel a renewable or non renewable source of energy?

It is a renewable resource. Biofuel is renewable because the process that generates the fuel is ongoing. Trees can be regrown, sewage can be converted into methane, and oil and alcohol can be generated from various plants. Biofuel takes carbon dioxide from the air as the original vegetation grows, and returns it when burnt, so it has a neutral carbon footprint. It adds no greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
