Chemical energy comes from different sources. Some, like the burning of fossil fuels with oxygen, are clearly non-renewable. Others like biomass or sunflower oil can be renewed, because the material can be re-grown (as long as the sun lasts). So it depends on whether the source chemicals are renewable or not.

While you cannot replace the same chemical energy you have used the vast amount of chemical energy puts it above finite resources such as fossil fuels. When it comes to chemical energy the question of renewable or nonrenewable is not all important.

Chemical energy is the form of energy most often used but many don't realize that is the case. This is a chemical reaction that takes place when fossil fuels are burned, when gasoline is combusted or when natural gas is used.

Those are fundamental processes of chemical energy where the energy is released by burning. Batteries that power everything in our home from ceiling fans to cell phones use chemical energy.

Chemical compounds are collections of large numbers of atoms. The atoms are bound to each other and when those bonds are broken a chemical reaction is the result.

When a process is applies to break the bonds of atoms, new compounds are created in the process. Oxidation of the atoms occurs immediately as the bonds break.

Exothermic energy is the result of a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of heat. We use the heat energy produced to power various products and systems we use daily. When the exothermic energy is released the amount (size) of the chemical compound is reduced

Oil, the fossil fuel, is a non-renewable resource on human time scales. Vegetable oil is a renewable resource. An inexhaustible resource would be sunlight and a renewable resource would be wind energy and solar energy.


Why renewable resource is best?

Renewable energy can't run out. Non-renewable energy WILL run out. Renewable energy is produced at a constant rate, non-renewable is not. Renewable energy is free when the generator is built, non-renewable is not. Renewable energy does not cause pollution (with the exception of biofuels), non-renewable energy does.

Is chemical energy nonrenewable?

Chemical energy is both renewable and non-renewable in different situations. When burning fossile fuel, it is non-renewable. But it is renewable with flowers as long as their source remains available. So if the chemical the energy is being produced from is renewable, then the chemical energy will be too.
