What Does Renewable Resource Mean?



A substance of economic value that can be replaced or replenished in the same amount or less time as it takes to draw the supply down. Some renewable resources have essentially an endless supply, such as solar energy, wind energy and geothermal pressure, while other resources are considered renewable even though some time or effort must go into their renewal, such as wood, oxygen, leather and fish. Most precious metals are considered renewable as well; even though they are not naturally replaced, they can be recycled because they are not destroyed during their extraction and use.

Types of renewable energy

What does it mean?

Renewable’ energy is a term used for the sources of energy that are natural and continuous in the environment. All forms of renewable energy can be traced back to the sun, or the interaction of the sun and the moon. These sources of energy are essentially inexhaustible.

Why do we need it?

We need renewable energy for a couple of reasons.

  • It is a free resource. Once the equipment is in place, be it a solar panel or a wind turbine the only on going cost is the maintenance. Unlike conventional forms such as oil, that requires exploration, surveying, extraction, transport, and refining.   
  • They are clean to capture. Energy is used in every aspect of our day-to-day lives and we are now inseparable from it. Current methods of producing energy products release large quantities of greenhouse gases that fuel climate change.
  • They will not run out, so from the point of view of energy security, we will not have to rely on shipping energy or raw materials for energy production from abroad.

What can renewable energy be used for?

Renewable energy can be used primarily for electricity production that can be feed into the National Grid and used as normal.

You would not notice a difference in your home, once captured and turned into electricity it is identical to electricity from any other source.

Some sources of renewable energy can also be used for heat production. Geothermal and solar water systems can be used to heat buildings or provide hot water.   

Renewable energy can also be used for transport. Bio-diesel or vegetable oil can run a diesel engine with minor modifications and the expanding use of electric cars means electricity from other renewable sources can be used for transport.

Types of renewable energy

Biomass -

Biomass is organic non-fossil material, that is all plant and animal material. A number of different forms of biomass can be burned or digested by animals to produce energy. Biomass is a very resourceful material and can be used to produce heat, electricity and a combination of heat and power (electricity).

In a domestic setting common biomass systems include woodchip burners for household heating and hot water or bio-diesel for use in vehicles. Biomass technology is carbon neutral as the carbon dioxide released from burning the fuel was originally captured from the atmosphere during the plants/animal growth.

The Energy Saving Trust has good information on biomass systems

Geothermal -

This increasingly popular technology can be used for heating, cooling and hot water in both domestic and commercial settings. By using a system of underground pipes heat can be exchanged between the building and the ground. This can replace the need for heating in the winter and air conditioning in the summer.

Savings of up to 70% on your fuel bills are possible with your existing central heating system. The systems can be adapted to a range of applications and needs.   

For more information visit the Energy Saving Trust

Wind -

Just like windmills that were used to grind corn for hundreds of years, these modern wind turbines use sails or blades to convert wind energy into kinetic (movement) energy and then into electrical energy. Small versions are available to charge 12v batteries on caravans and boats and are increasingly becoming available for domestic applications.

These domestic turbines have received a great deal of media attention recently. It should be stressed that to generate electricity in good quantity a wind survey and consultation should be sought before installing a turbine.

Whilst the UK has an average wind-speed of 6m/s and some 40% of Europe’s wind energy resource, the actual conditions vary on a local scale and turbulence caused by nearby obstructions may dramatically affect performance.

Commercial wind farms are being used in the UK and are being sited both on and offshore. There are more projects being approved all the time, recently the 270 turbine London Array was approved and is expected to generate enough electricity for more than 550 000 homes.

More info visit the British Wind Energy Association

Hydro -

Hydroelectric power systems use water held at a height to turn a turbine and generate electricity.

They require access to a suitable source and cost a great deal to set up. They can however be very reliable and can provide your electricity all year round. Any surplus electricity can then be sold back to the grid.

Environmental concerns must also be addressed when choosing a site for a hydropower installation, to ensure that the ecology of the watercourse is not adversely affected.

Commercial systems can produce many megawatts of electricity and are part of the governments plan for increased renewable sources of energy. There are currently over 200 large capacity hydroelectric stations in the UK.

The DTI Low Carbon Building Programme has further information on small scale hydroelectric generation

Solar -

Common solar systems come in two main forms. One form uses ‘photovoltaic’ panels that convert the energy contained in sunlight into electrical current. These need to be positioned carefully to operate most effectively and of course rely on the sun shining. Advances in technology mean that the amount of electricity generated even on cloudy days is seeing a vast improvement. The other form uses a series of pipes which water is pumped through and heated by the Sun’s energy. It is then pumped back into the building and used either in central heating or for hot water applications.

Solar hot water systems are much cheaper than PV panels and can provide almost all of your hot water during the summer months and about 50% all year round.

There is a wealth of information about harnessing solar energy, The Energy Save Trust has some of the most reliable.

Renewable Energy Resource

What is Renewable Energy?

The United States currently relies heavily on coal, oil, and natural gas for its energy. Fossil fuels are non-renewable, that is, they draw on finite resources that will eventually dwindle, becoming too expensive or too environmentally damaging to retrieve. In contrast, renewable energy resources-such as wind and solar energy-are constantly replenished and will never run out.
Most renewable energy comes either directly or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight, or solar energy, can be used directly for heating and lighting homes and other buildings, for generating electricity, and for hot water heating, solar cooling, and a variety of commercial and industrial uses.

The sun's heat also drives the winds, whose energy, is captured with wind turbines. Then, the winds and the sun's heat cause water to evaporate. When this water vapor turns into rain or snow and flows downhill into rivers or streams, its energy can be captured using hydroelectric power.
Along with the rain and snow, sunlight causes plants to grow. The organic matter that makes up those plants is known as biomass. Biomass can be used to produce electricity, transportation fuels, or chemicals. The use of biomass for any of these purposes is called bioenergy.
Hydrogen also can be found in many organic compounds, as well as water. It's the most abundant element on the Earth. But it doesn't occur naturally as a gas. It's always combined with other elements, such as with oxygen to make water. Once separated from another element, hydrogen can be burned as a fuel or converted into electricity.
Not all renewable energy resources come from the sun. Geothermal energy taps the Earth's internal heat for a variety of uses, including electric power production, and the heating and cooling of buildings. And the energy of the ocean's tides come from the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun upon the Earth.
In fact, ocean energy comes from a number of sources. In addition to tidal energy, there's the energy of the ocean's waves, which are driven by both the tides and the winds. The sun also warms the surface of the ocean more than the ocean depths, creating a temperature difference that can be used as an energy source. All these forms of ocean energy can be used to produce electricity.
