Is hydrogen power a renewable source or a non renewable source?

There are no natural supplies of hydrogen. It always has to be removed from something, and the commonest source is water (H2O).
However, so far, there is no way to remove hydrogen from water that does not use more energy than the resulting hydrogen will produce. If a cheap way is discovered to separate water into Hydrogen and Oxygen then all our worries about global warming and peak oil will be over.
A.K.A its renewable
EDIT: correction: UV radiation naturally splits H2O molecules in the ocean, producing hydrogen and oxygen, which reacts with O2 in the air, forming ozone (O3). That is how the ozone layer formed. But yes, electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen is not very efficient at the moment.

Is nuclear power a renewable or non-renewable source of energy?
yes it is
Is nuclear a renewable energy?
Nuclear fusion is not renewable. It requires hydrogen nuclei as an energy source, and once these have been used in fusion they are not naturally replenished. In fact, fusion power has a very high energy change, rendering it near impossible to reverse the process. A star, for example, is powered by nuclear fusion, and will eventually die out due to a lack of hydrogen.
What does non-renewable energy souce means?
Non-renewable energy source means that the source will eventually run out and is not renewable.
Is sugar cane a renewable or non -renewable source of energy?
It is A renewable source of energy.
Is solar energy non renewable energy source?
no its a renewable source of energy
Is nuclear power a renewable or non-renewable source of energy?
yes it is
How are you explain non renewable resources and renewable resources?
Two typical examples are Oil and Solar power. There will come a time when the oil reserves will run out - making it a non-renewable source of power. Solar power on the other hand will be available as long as the sun continues to provide us with energy. The sun's energy is a continuing thermal 'cycle' turning hydrogen into helium, and back to hydrogen.
Nuclear power as a non renewable source?
It is because it runs out
What is a non renewable and renewable source?
A non renewable source is something that is going to run out, like coal, oil and natural gas. A renewable source is something that is easy to get back quickly like solar power, wind, hydro and wave power. Most renewable sources needs the sun for their original power (except geothermal and tidal).
Is hydroelectricity a renewable or non- renewable source of energy?
Renewable. Hydropower, also called hydroelectric power, is the technique of harnessing the power of water to create electricity. It is the world's leading source of renewable energy.
Are wind mills renewable or non-renewable?
The turbines (mills) themselves are non-renewable but the wind the power source that is converted into useful work (usually electricity) is renewable.
Is nuclear a renewable energy?
Nuclear fusion is not renewable. It requires hydrogen nuclei as an energy source, and once these have been used in fusion they are not naturally replenished. In fact, fusion power has a very high energy change, rendering it near impossible to reverse the process.

What does non renewable means?
Non-renewable energy source means that the source will eventually run out and is not renewable.
What renewable and non renewable?
Renewable - unlimited source Non renewable - limited resource
Is aquamarine a non renewable source?
yes; aquamarine gems are a non renewable source.
Is air a renewable or non renewable source?
renewable
Are fuel cells a renewable or non renewable source of energy?
Fuel cells are a manufactured item and are not renewable. The fuel that is used in the fuel cells can either be renewable (alcohol, methane from waste digestion,hydrogen from wind or solar conversion of water) or non-renewable (Hydrogen or methane from oil and gas production, alcohol from industrial processes)
