Renewable energy resources can be used in various sectors to replace fossil fuels. For instance, solar and wind energy can power electricity generation, reducing reliance on coal and natural gas. In transportation, electric vehicles can be charged using renewable sources like solar or wind power, replacing gasoline and diesel fuels. Additionally, biomass and biofuels can provide sustainable alternatives for heating and industrial processes traditionally reliant on fossil fuels.
What else can I help you with?
Is an oil production platform renewable?
No, an oil production platform is not renewable. It is used to extract finite fossil fuel resources from the earth and is not a sustainable or renewable source of energy. Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power.
What could be done to make present energy resources last longer?
don't use so much
What types of energy sources are there?
there are many such as: Wind energy Solar energy coal oil Natural Gas Hydroelectric Power Nuclear Power Geothermal I could go on, but it will be a VERY long list.
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.
Who could improvements in energy efficiency be achieved?
Energy efficiency is one of the largest and lowest cost ways to extend our world's energy supplies and reduce GHG emissions. Curbing demand reduces the amount of oil, natural gas, coal, and other energy sources that must be developed and delivered. Gains in energy efficiency through 2030 will curb energy-demand growth by about 65 percent. - more efficient vehicles -public transport being used -and anything else that preserves fossil fuels, such as all sources of renewable energy. geothermal energy, more people with solar panel housing. by 2020 the government hope for all new buildings to be energy efficient. hope this helps. im answering the same question for my georgraphy case study -.-
What are some renewable resources that could replace fossil fuels?
Solar power could be used to generate electricity instead of burning coal or oil.Dammed water could be used to generate electricity (Hydro-electric power) instead of burning fossil fuels.
Give two examples of where renewable energy resources could be used instead of fossil fuels?
Renewable energy resources could be used to power homes by installing solar panels or wind turbines in place of relying on traditional fossil fuel-based electricity grids. Additionally, electric vehicles can be charged using renewable energy sources like solar power, reducing the reliance on gasoline-powered vehicles.
Is an oil production platform renewable?
No, an oil production platform is not renewable. It is used to extract finite fossil fuel resources from the earth and is not a sustainable or renewable source of energy. Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power.
Are plastics renewable resources?
No, plastics are not renewable resources. They are typically derived from non-renewable fossil fuels like oil and natural gas through a chemical manufacturing process. Once plastics are produced, they cannot be easily regenerated in a short time frame like renewable resources such as solar or wind energy.
What are all available renewable energy resources?
They are:Solar,Wind,Biomass,Hydraulic,Geothermal, andwave and Tidalrenewable energy sources.Nuclear energy could be considered almost additional renewable energy source although by definition it is not renewable energy source.
Why is hydrogen a renewable fuel?
Hydrogen is not a renewable fuel. It is a secondary energy source (or an energy carrier) that could be produced using another primary energy source. Hydrogen could be produced using either renewable primary energy source (e.g. solar energy), nuclear energy, or by using fossil fuel (e.g. natural gas)
What would happen if you had no renewable energy?
I think this is easy to answer. If there is no renewable energy available, all out non renewable energy will run out. The continuous gas price hike is one indication of fossil fuel depletion. If we ran out of fossil fuels, electricity would really be expensive as we have to find other sources. Basically, all machines, equipment or anything that needs fuel to run, will have to run from another source of energy.
How does renewable energy relate to sustainable energy?
Renewable energy is a term applied to energy resources that replenish them self. Sustainable energy is essentially the same thing, energy resources that can be used indefinitely. The only difference to me might be the connotations, trees can be seen as a renewable resource but might not be the best sustainable option because you have to release carbon into the atmosphere to obtain energy. Solar energy could be called sustainable energy because your not having a negative impact by using it.
Are coal and oil renewable sources?
Fossil fuels are not renewable, because it took millions of years for vegetable matter to be transformed by geological processes into fossil fuel, and although this could happen again, it would again take millions of years, which on a human time scale is equivalent to taking forever.
What energy is not renewable?
I think there is a law of conservation of energy that says: 'energy cannot be created or destroyed only changed from one form to another.' So no energy could be 'created within 100 years'
What are alternatives both individually and on a wider scale that could be used to reduce the level of fossil fuel pollution?
Move to renewable energy.
What is meant by non-renewable source of energy?
The term Nonrenewable energy is used for Energy that could run out or deplete. Renewable energy is just the Opposite, Energy that can be used again and again. Examples: NR - Coal, Oil. R - Solar, Wind.
