Something that can be renewed or grown again.

Ethanol, forests (when maintained) and energy from waste are examples of renewable.

Wind, sun and geopower are really not renewables. They are considered alternatives. To be a renewable, a fuel must need to be replenished at a rate we consume it. The sun, for example, is not renewable because we do not provide any form of return to it. While it is not exhaustible during the planets existence, it is still not renewable and is finite.
