The term renewable energy refer to timely balance of energy collection and consumption.

Fossil fuel took around 1 million of year to form but about 200-300 year of use till deplete thus it could not be regenerate within our civilization time frame. In other hand, if we use energy from biomass or solar cell, we collect energy, store and use at the same pace and it will not be depleting at any few million year from now. Since the collection of energy is at pace with consumption then it is considered renewable resource.

_________________________________________________

Because renewable energy resources are not depelatable in the sense that they are replenished in less than 100 years.
