Resource
A resource is anything we can use to help us live and work Oil, coal,
gas, trees, soil, wind, waves, sun, people, the countryside, water, rocks etc
Conflict over ownership, depletion, pollution

Types of Resources
 Renewable Energy resource
 Non Renewable Energy Resources

Renewable Energy
Renewable energy is energy which is generated from natural
sources i.e. sun, wind, rain, tides and can be generated again and again as
and when required.
They are available in plenty and by far most the cleanest
sources of energy available on this planet. For e.g.: Energy that we receive
from the sun can be used to generate electricity. Similarly, energy from
wind, geothermal, biomass from plants, tides can be wind, geothermal,
biomass from plants, tides can be used this form of energy to another form.

Non-Renewable Energy
Non-Renewable energy is energy which is taken from the
sources that are available on the earth in limited quantity and will vanish
fifty-sixty years from now.
Non-renewable sources are not environmental friendly and can
have serious affect on our health.
They are called non-renewable because they cannot be re-
generated within a short span of time. Nonrenewable sources exist in the
form of fossil fuels, natural gas, oil and coal.

RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replenished in a
short period of time.

 Solar
 Geothermal
 Wind
 Biomass
 Water

Non-Conventional Energy Sources
The sources of energy which are being produced continuously in nature
and are in exhaustible are called renewable sources of energy (or) non-
conventional energy.

Some of these sources are:

(a) Solar energy
(b) Wind energy
(c) Tidal energy

Solar energy

Renewable resource of Solar Energy

Energy from the sun is called solar energy. The Sun’s energy comes from
nuclear fusion reaction that take place deep in the Sun. Hydrogen nucleus
fuse into helium nucleus. The energy from these reactions flow out from the
sun and escape into space.

 Solar energy is a completely free source of energy and it is found in

abundance. Though the sun is 90 million miles from the earth, it takes
less than 10 minutes for light to travel from that much of distance.

6
  Solar energy which comprises of radiant heat and light from the sun
can be harnessed with some modern technology like photo-voltaic,
solar heating, artificial photosynthesis, solar architecture and solar
thermal electricity.
 The earth gets 174 Pet watts of incoming solar radiation in the upper
atmosphere. About 30% is reflected back to space and the rest is
absorbed by oceans, clouds and land masses.
Wind energy

Renewable resource of Wind Turbine

Winds are caused because of two factors.
 1. The absorption of solar energy on the earth’s surface and in the
atmosphere.
 2. The rotation of the earth about its axis and its motion around the
Sun.
 A wind mill converts the kinetic energy of moving air into
Mechanical energy that can be either used directly to run the Machine
or to run the generator to produce electricity.
 Tides are generated primarily by the gravitational attraction
between the earth and the Moon. They arise twice a day in Mid Ocean.
7
  Basically in tidal power station water at high tide is first trapped in a
artificial basin and then allowed to escape at low tide.
 The escaping water is used to drive water turbines, which in turn
drive electrical generators.

Tidal Energy

Renewable resource of Tidal Turbine

Tidal Energy or Tidal Power as it is also called is another form of
hydro power that utilizes large amounts of energy within the oceans tides
to generate electricity. Tidal Energy is an “alternative energy” that can
also be classed as a “renewable energy source”, as the Earth uses the
gravitational forces of both the moon and the sun everyday to move vast
quantities of water around the oceans and seas producing tides.

 Tidal movement occurs twice a day by the gravitational effect of the

moon.
8
  Tidal power is used mostly for the production of Electricity.
 Tidal Energy can be captured by either exploiting the kinetic energy
or the potential energy of the tides. It all depends on the technology
and the location used.
 Potential Energy exploitation in the case of Tidal Energy has 80%
efficiency which is considered to be high compared to other forms
of renewable green energy sources.
 There are currently 3 types of technologies which can be used to
capture the power of tides. These technologies are known as Tidal
Technologies. These technologies are:
1. Tidal Stream Generator
2. Tidal Barrage
3. Dynamic Tidal Power

NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES
A nonrenewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be re-
made or re-grown at a scale comparable to its consumption.

MERITS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY OVER NON-

RENEWABLE RESOURCES

 The sun, wind, geothermal, ocean energy are available in the abundant
quantity and free to use.
 The non-renewable sources of energy that we are using are limited and
are bound to expire one day.
 Renewable sources have low carbon emissions, therefore they are
considered as green and therefore they are considered as green and
environment friendly.

Conventional energy sources are:

Non Renewable resources

(a) Fossil fuel energy
(b) Hydraulic energy
(c) Nuclear energy

(a) Fossil fuel energy

Non Renewable resources of Fossil fuel energy

10
Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are called Fossil fuel as these are formed by
the decomposition of the remains of dead plants and animals buried under
the earth for a long time.
These are non-renewable sources of energy, which, if exhausted,
cannot be replenished in a short time. Their reserves are limited and are
considered very precious. These should be used with care and caution to let
them last long. These are also contributing to the global environmental
pollution.

Petroleum
 It is a dark colored, viscous and foul smelling crude oil.
 The petroleum means rock oil. It is normally found under the crust of
earth trapped in rocks. The crude oil is a complex mixture of several
solid liquid gaseous hydrocarbons mixed with solid water, salt and
earth particles. It is a natural water, salt and earth particles. It is a
natural product obtained from oil wells.
The products obtained from crude petroleum as follows:

 (i) Petroleum gas (below 40°C) used as LPG.

 (ii) Petrol (40°C to 170°C) for light vehicles.
 (iii) Kerosene (170 to 250°C) for household and industrial use.
 (iv) Diesel oil (250 to 350°C) for heavy vehicles.
 (v) Residual oil; (a) Lubrication oils (b) paraffin wax and (c) asphalt
 (vi) Fuel oil (350 to 400°C) for boilers

Natural gas
 It consists about 95% Methane and rest ethane and propane.
 It occurs deep under the crust of the earth either alone or a long with
oil above the petroleum deposits. It is a product of petroleum mining.

11
(b) Hydraulic Energy

Non renewable resource of Hydraulic Energy

Hydropower or hydroelectricity refers to the conversion of energy from
flowing water into electricity. It is considered a renewable energy source
because the water cycle is constantly renewed by the sun.
 Energy from falling water
 It is generated in dams which cuts across the river
 Water flows through the tunnels of the dam, to turn turbines and thus
drive generators.
 It provides 20% of the world’s electricity

12
(c) Nuclear energy

According to modern theories of atomic structure, matter

consists of minute particles structure, known as atoms. Heavier unstable
atoms such as U235, Th239, liberate large amount of heat energy. The
energy released by the complete fission of one Kg of Uranium (U235), is
equal to the heat energy obtained by burning 4500 tons of coal (or) 220 tons
of oil.
This source plays a huge role in industrial field where the need and
requirement of energy is very high. Nuclear Energy is the Best example of
NON- RENEWABLE ENERGY

Conclusion.
This analysis of the differences between renewable and non-renewable
resources has highlighted some key facts. For example, it has demonstrated
that renewable resources are much more preferable to non-renewable
resources, for many reasons. Renewable resources are better for the
environment and better for future generations as well. These points all derive
from the definition of renewable and non-renewable resources. It is precisely
because renewable resources can be renewed that they are preferable to non-
renewable resources. Another thing that it is important to take into account is
the fact that some renewable resources are in danger of becoming non-
renewable if we do not use them in a sustainable fashion. It is important for
all of us to take good care of our planet – and one central way of doing so is
being careful about the type and amount of resources that we use.
