Key Stage 3
Meaning
A non-renewable energy resource is an Energy Resource which cannot be replaced once it is used up.
About Non-renewable Energy Resources
There are 4 main non-renewable energy resources that humans use:
- Coal Power - Enough for another 150 years before it runs out.
- Oil Power - Enough for 50 years until it runs out.
- Gas Power - Enough for 200 years.
- Nuclear Power - Enough Uranium for 230 years.
Key Stage 4
Meaning
A non-renewable energy resource is an Energy Resource which cannot be replaced within our lifetime once it has been used.
About Non-renewable Energy Resources
There are 4 main non-renewable energy resources that humans use:
- Coal Power - Enough for another 150 years before it runs out.
- Oil Power - Enough for 50 years until it runs out.
- Gas Power - Enough for 200 years.
- Nuclear Power - Enough Uranium for 230 years.
To generate electricity all of these non-renewable energy resources are used in thermal power stations in which the fuel used to boil water.
