Is green energy and renewable energy the same?

In the strictest definition, no. Non-conventional means "defying ordinary logic", while renewable means "sustainable". Technically they are two different concepts. Renewable energy sources that have existed for a very long time include water power and wood burning. These power sources are not "non-conventional", being the very first ways that people accomplished mechanical work. By the same token, there are non-renewable energy sources that are quite non-conventional; nuclear power was extremely non-conventional when it was first invented, and many were skeptical and fearful of nuclear power at that time (and some of that sentiment lingers to this day).


Which energy sources are non renewable?

Non-renewable energy sources include fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as nuclear power. These sources are finite and cannot be easily replenished over short time periods.


Can renewable energy and non-renewable energy can be used at the same time?

Answer : YES Renewable power sources and non-renewable power souces are both used to generate electricity, which is then transfered through the 'power grid' (power lines) to different houses. Electricity generated from renewable sources is not different in any way to electricity generated by non-renewable sources. Therefore, they can both be used at the same t5ime


What are Hawaii's non renewable energy sources?

Hawaii's non-renewable energy sources include petroleum (used for electricity generation and transportation), coal (used for electricity generation), and natural gas (used for electricity generation). These sources are limited in supply and have negative environmental impacts when extracted and burned.


Is energy resource or nonrenewable?

Energy can be both a resource and nonrenewable. Renewable energy sources such as sunlight and wind are resources that can be naturally replenished. Nonrenewable energy sources like fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) are finite and formed over millions of years, making them nonrenewable.

Which is a better source of energy conventional and non conventional sources of energy?

Non-conventional sources of energy are generally considered better because they are renewable and have lower environmental impacts compared to conventional sources such as fossil fuels. Non-conventional sources like solar, wind, and hydro power offer sustainable alternatives for the future.


What are the types of the conventional and non conventional sources of energy?

Conventional energy sources are coal, oil, natural gas, and hydraulic energy sources.Non conventional energy sources are nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, wave, tide, and biomass energy sources.


Is it possible to replace non-conventional energy sources in the form of conventional energy sources?

Yes, but all the world's attention is on the reverse, the replacement of conventional energy by non-conventional, so I don't see the point of the question

What are the differences between conventional and non conventional sources of energy?

Conventional sources of energy have been in use for a long time that usually cause pollution and are exhaustible. Non-conventional sources, meanwhile, are recent sources of energy that are inexhaustible and pollution-free.


Why non conventional energy sources are better than conventional sources of energy?

Conventional energy sources involve burning a fuel to produce heat which will drive a piston like in a car engine or make steam for a turbine like in a power plant. In this way we are converting the chemical energy into kinetic energy. This way they are more popular than non-conventional power sources. Non conventional energy sources usually do not involve burning. Solar energy, wind, water energy, geothermal and nuclear fusion are examples of non conventional energy sources. Some of these sources produce pollution and most of them will run out for as long as humans are around.


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 is the difference between conventional energy and non conventional energy?

energy we cannot reproduce eg:fossil fuels is called conventional sources of energy energy which can be reproduced for unlimited times.also known as renewable sources eg:light enrg from sun.


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.
