Resources which can be replenished naturally, for example, trees in woodlands.
those materials that can be replaced within a reasonable time frame by natural processes
living parts of the environment that can renew or replace themselves
Resources which should last forever if not used up at a rate which is faster than the rate at which they renew themselves e.g. water, air, trees, soil
Renewable energy resources are naturally replenishable, but flow-limited. They are virtually inexhaustible in duration but limited in the amount of energy that is availableper unit of time. Examples of renewable resources include – Biomass - organic (plant, animal) materials, Geothermal - the heat of the earth, Hydroelectric - energy from flowing or falling water, (streams, dams), Tidal Energy - from waves, tides, or temperature differences in the ocean, Solar - from the sun (two types of systems: solar thermal and photovoltaic), Wind - from the wind.
Resources, such as forests, that can be replaced.
Resources that can be replaced once they are used.
refer to those resources that originate from storage of energy from the sun by living organisms, including plants, animals and humans. Providing that sufficient water, nutrients and sunshine are available, renewable resources can be grown in continuous cycles.
Resources which can be "harvested" in such and are then repleneshed by the normal operation of natural processes. Timber can be harvested in a renewable fashion, petroleum cannot be. The processes that create new trees operate on a timescale similar to mankind's, while those that create petroleum operate on a geologic timescale.
Natural resources that, through management, treatment, development, or other means, may be restored or replenished; wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, plants and animals.
Fuels that can be easily made or “renewed.†We can never use up renewable fuels. Types of renewable fuels are solar power, wind power, and hydropower.
Resources normally replenished through natural processes. Examples are trees, grasses, wild animals, surface water in lakes and rivers, most ground water, air and soil.
resources (e.g. forests, fresh water, fish, agricultural crops) that can be created or produced at the same rate at which they are consumed.
Natural resources that have the capacity to be naturally replenished despite being harvested (e.g., forests, fish). The supply of natural resources can, in theory, never be exhausted, usually because it is continuously produced.
living resources, such as plants or animals, which have the capacity to renew themselves when conditions for survival are favorable.
A resource that can be replenished at a rate equal to or greater than its rate of depletion; i.e., solar, wind, geothermal and biomass resources.
Resources that are naturally replaced in a relatively short time: sun, wind, water, heat from the earth and biomass (plant-derived organic matter including crop wastes, aquatic plants, bamboo and switchgrass, and animal and human waste materials).
A resource (i.e. wind, solar) that can be used over and over and over again to produce energy.
Resources which are capable of being replaced through natural cycles, such as the water cycle.
A resource with economic value that exists in virtually infinite amounts or can readily be regenerated.
Resources that are capable of being regenerated or replaced by ecological processes on a time scale relevant to their use. These resources, such as biomass or energy from animal traction, are contrasted with non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels and mined products.
Naturally, but flow-limited resources that can be replenished. They are virtually inexhaustible in duration but limited in the amount of energy that is available per unit of time. Some (such as geothermal and biomass) may be stock-limited in that stocks are depleted by use, but on a time scale of decades, or perhaps centuries, they can probably be replenished. Renewable energy resources include: biomass, hydro, geothermal, solar and wind. In the future, they could also include the use of ocean thermal, wave, and tidal action technologies. Utility renewable resource applications include bulk electricity generation, on-site electricity generation, distributed electricity generation, non-grid-connected generation, and demand-reduction (energy efficiency) technologies.
Where stocks of such resources are not reduced or can be reproduced in a short period of time in the process of production and consumption
Resources normally replaced or replenished by natural processes; resources not depleted by moderate use; examples include solar energy, biological resources such as forests and fisheries, biological organisms, and some biogeochemical cycles.
Are any sources of energy that is constantly replenished, as through natural processes. Sunlight, moving water, geothermal springs, biomass (including wood and municipal solid waste) and wind are examples of renewable energy resources used to generate electricity.
Resources that are created or produced at least as fast as they are consumed, so that nothing is depleted.
Renewable energy resources are naturally replenishable, but flow-limited. They are virtually inexhaustible in duration but limited in the amount of energy that is available per unit of time. Visit Tri-State’s Renewable Resource web site for more terms at www.tristategt.org/greenpower
Resources such as forests, rangeland, soil and water that can be restored and improved.
