Non-Renewable AND Renewable Resources of Energy

The document discusses renewable and nonrenewable energy resources. Nonrenewable resources such as coal, petroleum and gas cannot be replenished in a short period of time. Renewable resources include solar, geothermal, wind, biomass and water, which can be replenished in a short period of time.

NON-RENEWABLE

AND
RENEWABLE
RESOURCES of ENERGY
HMMMM....
What do you think
nonrenewable
resources are?

Break it down...

Nonrenewable?
Resource?
NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES

A nonrenewable resource is a natural


resource that cannot be re-made or
re-grown at a scale comparable to its
consumption.
NUCLEAR ENERGY
Nuclear fission uses
uranium to create
energy.
Nuclear energy is a
nonrenewable
resource because once
the uranium is used, it
is gone!
COAL, PETROLEUM, AND GAS
Coal, petroleum, and
natural gas are
considered
nonrenewable because
they can not be
replenished in a short
period of time. These
are called fossil fuels.
HOW IS COAL MADE ???
HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE ???
WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN COAL AND OIL/GAS?
Produces highly radioactive
materials that must be stored
safely for 10,000-240,000 years.
Chernobyl – Ukraine (Former USSR)
Fukushima – Japan
Bataan Nuclear Power Plant – Philippines
Coal-Powered Power Plant – Davao del Sur
Conventional Oil

Advantages Disadvantages
• Relatively low • Running out
cost • 42-93 years

• High net energy • Low prices


encourage waste
yield
• Air pollution and
• Efficient greenhouse
distribution gases
system • Water pollution
HMMMM....
If non-renewable
resources are resources
that cannot be re-made
at a scale comparable
to its consumption,
what are renewable
resources?
RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Renewable resources are
natural resources that can be
replenished in a short period
of time.

differences
between
nonrenewable and
