Renewable and non-renewable energy resources Q1- write the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy resources. Give examples for both. Q2- Name one non-renewable energy resource and assess the possible environmental impact of exploiting it. Q3- Name one renewable energy resource and assess the possible environmental impact of exploiting it. 8 marks Suggest 2 reasons why Pakistan is developing renewable energy resources?

Q1- Renewable resources are solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, biofuels, cultivated plants, biomass, air, water and soil. In contrast, non-renewable resources are those that are available to us in limited quantities, or those that are renewed so slowly that the rate at which they are consumed is too fast.  Few examples of renewable resources are sun, wind, tidal energy, forests, mountains, soil, water bodies, animals and wildlife resources, atmospheric resources and lot more.Few examples of Non-renewable resources include a few species of plants and animals, minerals, fossil fuels, water, wind, land, soil, and rocks.

Q2-Perhaps the most well-known impact of using non-renewable energy sources is the emission of greenhouse gases, in particular carbon dioxide and methane, which contribute to climate change

Q3-Electricity generated from renewable energy sources has a smaller environmental footprint than power from fossil-fuel sources, which is arguably the major impetus for moving away from fossil fuels to renewables.

Pakistan is developing wind power plants in Jhimpir, Gharo, Keti Bandar and Bin Qasim in Sindh. The government of Pakistan decided to develop wind power energy sources due to problems supplying energy to the southern coastal regions of Sindh and Balochistan, the project was undertaken with assistance from the government of China.
