NON RENEWABLE RESOURCES

TYPES OF RESOURCES

1. RENEWABLE RESOURCES

2. NON RENEWABLE RESOURCES.

 RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Renewable resources are natural resources that can be
replenished in as short period of time.
• For example : solar ,wind ,water ,geothermal and
biomas.
 `INTRODUCTION
Non-renewable energy comes from sources that will run
out or will not be replenished for thousands or even
millions of years. Most sources of non-renewable energy
are fossil fuels. ... Most non-renewable energy sources are
fossil fuels: coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
 TYPES OF NON RENEWABLE ENERGY

There are four major types of nonrenewable resources: 

1. Oil
2. Natural gas These are collectively called fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels were formed within the Earth from dead
plants and animals over millions of years.
It was introduced by Andres libavius in 1957.

3. Coal
4. Nuclear energy.
COMPOSITION OF FOSSIL FUELS
 OIL
• Crude oil is a liquid  fossil fuel that is used mostly to
produce gasoline and diesel fuel for vehicles, and for the manufacturing of
plastics. It is found in rocks below Earth’s surface and is pumped out
through wells. 
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES
1. It is used in many products.
2. It is also used in many foms of transportation.
3. It is easily available.
4. Used in varities of industries.
5. It is a constant power source.
DISADVANTAGES
1. oil releases gas such as CO2 which leads to greenhouse emmisions.
2. It is very expensive.
3. Because of transporting crude oil through sea ways this leads to oil
spills and pollute water and are distructive for aquatic species.
4.oil refining produces high toxic substances because of hydrocarbons
presence in oil,produces toxic gases such as carbonmonoxide.
5. And it is non renewable .
 MAJOR PRODUCER OF OIL
IN WORLD
1.US {12,108 barrels per year }
2.USSR { 10,825 barrels per year }
3.Saudi arab {9,580 barrels per year }
IN INDIA
1. Rajasthan{largest producer of petroleum}
2. Gujarat
3. Assam.
• India imports oil from Iraq.
• Major oil field in assam {Digboi refinery , Naharkatiya refinery , etc.}
• Largest oil field of india { The Bombay high}
 NATURAL GAS
• Natural gas is a fossil energy source that formed deep beneath the earth's
surface.
• The largest component of natural gas is methane, a compound with one
carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms (CH4).
• We use natural gas as a fuel and to make materials and chemicals.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES
1.Natural gas is cleanest burning in all the fossil fuel.
2.It can be easily found and abundant In nature.
3. It is economical and not so much expensive.
4. It is lighter than air ,that’s why it is safe for use as compare to LPG
gases.
5. It is convenient and remove long process of collecting , connected to
houses directly.
DISADVANTAGES
1. It is more costly to process ,transport and store.
2. It is highly combustible though it is lighter than air but odourless
also and it got difficult to find leakage.
3. It is non renewable
4. It takes a lot of manpower to process.
HOW OIL AND GAS FORMED
 COAL
Coal is a black or brownish-black sedimentary rock that can be burned for fuel
and used to generate electricity. It is composed mostly of carbon and
hydrocarbons, which contain energy that can be released through combustion
(burning).
FORMS OF COAL & CARBON COMPOSITION

• 1. ANTHRACITE {86-96%}
• 2.BITUMINOUS {76-86%}
• 3. LIGNITE {around 65-72%}
• 4. PEAT {less than 60%}
HOW IS COAL FORM
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES
1.Coal is the Cheapest of All Fossil Fuels.
2.Coal is the Number One Energy Source.
3.Coal reduces dependency on other fossil fuels.
4.Coal Mining is a Big Business.
5.It is a full time Energy source .
6.Coal Reduces Reliance on Foreign Oil Imports.
7.Coal is Cleaner Than You Think.
8.Production Isn't Governed by the Weather.
DISADVANTAGES
1.Coal is radioactive.
2.Coal destroys natural habitats.
3.Coal creates high levels of carbon emissions.
4.Coal can be Deadly.
5.It produces sulphurdioxide and nitrogen oxide which
causes acid rain and leads to respiratory diseases.
6.Coal is a non-renewable source of energy.
 NUCLEAR ENERGY
Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium
atoms – a process called fission. This generates heat to produce
steam, which is used by a turbine generator to generate electricity.
Because nuclear power plants do not burn fuel, they do not
produce greenhouse gas emissions.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

ADVANTAGES
1. It is inexpensive source of energy.
2. It has low green house gas emissions and low pollution.
3. It is a reliable source of energy and also not disturbed by
weather .
4. It has a very positive economic impact.
DISADVANTAGES
1. it is very expensive and took long time to build.
2.It poses a security threat because it is powered by nuclear energy.
3. Impact the environment.
4.it has limited fuel supply.
MAJOR DRAWBACK OF NON RENEWABLE ENERGY
1. They are bad for environment and major role play for global warning.
2. It become expensive as to install infrastructure ,transportation make it
expensive .
3. It produces potential threat to human health .
4. Fossil combustion is dangerous for health forever so it make concern for near
future as we are dependent
5. It Is time consuming {like mining of coal ,building oil rigs , inserting pipes to
extract &transportation of natural gas are very time consuming} .
6. Fossil fuel may not be available.
SOLUTIONS
1. Move to alternate resources like solar and wind energy and reduce
dependency on fossil fuels .
2. Increase use and production of E-Vehicles for less pollutions ,which
make environment clean .
3. Develop and expand railway and metro projects all across country
which not only reduce pollution but also gives boost to economy and
employment in india.
4. Use of ethanol blended petrol , leads to less pollution.
 SIGNIFICANCE OF NON RENEWABLE ENERGY

These resources cannot be replaced, which is a major problem for humanity

as we are currently dependent on them to supply most of our energy needs.
 CONCLUSION
• The non renewable fuels are finite and gradually depleting and also
contribute to the emissions of green house gases.
• We must be ready for substituting the non renewable energy to the
renewable and other alternatives energy , sources like nuclear energy and
photovoltaic.
