Sources of Non-Renewable Energy : It’s Not as Difficult as You Think
Based on the sources used to create energies, it is divided into two categories: the first one is renewable energy which we discussed in the last post, and the second one is non-renewable energy. In this blog, we will share some inspiring information about non-renewable energy, non-renewable energy, and sources of non-renewable energy, so to know about it, read the full post carefully. What is a non-renewable energy Non-renewable energy is the energy produced by the use of organic sources that are available in a limited quantity like coal, petroleum, etc. However, non-renewable energy sources will be finished one day from the planet. However, These sources took thousands of years or more time to build naturally inside the land. That’s why the government is trying to encourage people to use renewable energy sources because these sources will be empty over time in the future. Common sources of non-renewable energy Here are the sources which are commonly used to create non-renewable energy Coal Coal is non-renewable energy produced on the earth; it takes millions of years to form. The process to form a lump of coal is started when the dead plants & trees will accumulate at the bottom of the earth & Inside the land due to high pressure & heat will work on these matter for millions of years then it will convert those substances into coal. Coal is a primary fuel that is considered in a group of fossil fuels; It is used as a source to generate energy. But Why is it considered a non-renewable energy source? Because Natural processes form all fossil fuels like petrol & coal. And It will be finished one day. Coal has some properties like coal is a substance with a high percentage of carbon present in it & only because of the carbon when coal burns it produces harmful gases sulphate, nitrogen which is a cause to harm the environment, humans & animals too.

The main component(gas) is methane present in the natural gas, which is used in some places Industries as an industrial fuel, For making food by consumers In cold areas for increasing the room temperature Sometimes used in vehicles too as a fuel Oil Oil is another primary source of renewable energy, which is also called petroleum. Everyone is familiar with petroleum, and it is used in vehicles as a fuel. Maximum oil production in India has been covered by Assam, Gujarat, Rajasthan, which almost produce 92 percent of total oil. Among all states, Rajasthan produces 23.7% oil, Gujarat has 12.5% oil, and Assam produces 12.1% of oil. Although, according to stats, in 2016-18, India produced 0.92% of oil from total oil produced by India. Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is a kind of non-renewable energy in which the nucleus of an atom is used to generate energy through nuclear fission. It uses nuclear reactions to produce electricity. Where Uranium & platinum two particles are used To produce nuclear power or nuclear energy first, it will need a huge power plant because performing a nuclear reaction is risky.
