Non-renewable energy sources are the ones which we can only use once and of which there are relatively limited amounts available.
Typically, these are oil, natural gas and coal.
They were formed inside the earth over millions of years from dead organisms. Such fossil fuels (petroleum, methane, and coal) are non-renewable resources. If exhausted, they would take millions of years to be renewed.
Renewable resources on the other hand primarily use natural phenomena such as wind, sun, tides, and geothermal heat (replenished by nature), or biological resources that can be replaced over a short period.
What else can I help you with?
What is a another name for renewable energy source?
alternative energy
Energy sources other than fossil fuel are called what kind of resources?
They are called renewables. (though strictly, nuclear power is not a fossil fuel and is not renewable).They are called alternative energy sources.
What are some good sources of Alternative Energy?
Other than what? Please clarify.Common energy sources (for technological purposes) are fossil fuels (petroleum and coal), nuclear energy, as well as solar energy, wind energy, hydraulic (water) energy, and many others.
Introduction on non conventional energy sources?
Non-conventional energy sources are renewable sources of energy that are not based on fossil fuels, such as solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, and biomass. These sources are often more sustainable and environmentally friendly than traditional fossil fuels, as they produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to reducing climate change. Non-conventional energy sources have the potential to be critical components of a more sustainable energy system for the future.
What is the two reasons why alternative energy sources may be important in the future?
Alternative energy sources may be important in the future because they can help mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and they can help diversify energy sources and increase energy security by decreasing reliance on finite fossil fuels.
What is un-reneable energy?
Unrenewable energy refers to energy sources that are finite and will eventually be depleted, such as fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. These sources cannot be replenished within a human lifespan and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Because of their limited supply, unrenewable energy sources are not sustainable for long-term use.
Why is it important to look at new sources of energy?
because if the problem of unrenewable energy resouses is unadressed for much longer, the worlds polution rates will skyrocket... and sooner or later the unrenewable sources will extingish and leave us with out power.
Why is solar energy widely accepted today?
They power your car or heat your house instead of using unrenewable resources
How can solar energy replace conventional sources of energy in various fields?
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.

Is coal unrenewable?
Yes. That is, coal is not a renewable resource.
What type of Resource is Minerals?
Its a natural unrenewable resource.
What are the disadvantages of using coal as an energy scorce?
It is an unrenewable source, meaning it cant be reused or recycles. Once used its pretty much gone Also it polutes the earth
What are Iran's energy sources?
What are iran's energy sources?
Is oil renewable?
no, it is completely unrenewable!! No, not in human timescales.
What are the different energy sources that are used to deliver energy to your community?
The energy sources that I am most excited about all have lower carbon emissions, compared to conventional energy sources. These include Biomass Energy, Wind Energy, Solar Energy, Geothermal Energy, and Hydroelectric Energy sources.
