Non-Renewable Energy Sources:
Non-Renewable Energy is a source of energy that is a finite amount of energy generation source. In other words, it is going to be out of stock one day. Resources of such type of energy will be used completely. This type of energy generation source is used as a primary source.
Due to this reason, many countries are switching their source towards Renewable Energy origins.
The Sources of Non-Renewable Energy are as follow:
Fossil fuels,
Oil,
Natural gas,
Coal.
This type of energy source is obtained from the earth.
Humains extracts Gases, Liquids and Solids in the form of resources and converts them into a useful form of fuel as per their requirement. This is mainly related to Energy generation.
The resources which are extracted by humans from the earth takes many years to replace.
But humans are extracting such resources in wide amount hence the value of extraction is more as compared to nature replace those resources, hence this type of resources are going to be finished one day.
Most of the Fossil fuels, Minerals, Metals are non-renewable sources.
Resources like,
crude oil
Natural gas,
Uranium,
Coal
Are all types of Non-Renewable Energy sources. These resources are possed under filtration and then they are used for commercialisation.
For example,
Fossil fuel industry,
These types of industries extract crude oil present inside the earth and then converts them into gasoline. Fossil fuel liquids are refined to form Petrochemical Products which are used for manufacturing products from plastic and polyurethane to solvents.
"All fossil fuels are non-renewable, But all non-renewable are not fossil fuels"
*Uranium is not fossil fuel, It is the HEAVY METAL THAT IS EXTRACTED IN SOLID FORM FROM EARTH AND THEN IT IS CONVERTED INTO FUEL SOURCE BY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT.
Power generation from non-renewable energy is done for many decades and it has been used widely. since, it is inexpensive to extract, store and convert. It is also easy for shipping.
Hence non-renewable energy source is used as the primary source of energy because it is affordable.
Nowadays many policies were formed to reduce usages of Non-Renewable resources.
Many countries are switching their use of Non-Renewable resources to Renewable resources.
