Renewable resources

The renewable resources  are those that have the ability to be restored mediantes processes to naturale s, and consequently at a rate of consumption are highly necessary for the evolution of beings who consume them .

Definition

It is defined as a natural resource which is restored through natural processes at a speed which is higher than the consumption that human beings exert on it. These types of resources are known as the goods that nature can grant to human beings in order to meet their needs.

Characteristics of renewable resources

The characteristics of renewable resources may vary in their use or in the way it is collected, so it is important to know each one of them, such as:

Types of use

Its uses are very varied and they manage to be used in different things such as: powering airplanes, boats or cars , or failing that to consume the electrical or agricultural energy that it can offer.

Environmental pollution

As these are a series of resources that can be harvested or, failing that, renewed as many times as necessary , the risks of contamination are zero, contrary to those resources that are not renewable, which pose an risk to both the human and animal population. .

Affordable convenience

Renewable resources do not have an economic viability that is immediate, since there is no existing demand which produces an increase in their need.

Use

Renewable resources can positively influence the day-to-day life of all species in the world. Some examples of the uses that are given to renewable energy are:

Wind

As it is captured by windmills, it is used as an inexhaustible source of electrical energy.

Water

Although this resource is essential for life on earth, thanks to mechanical implements, large bodies of water can be used as a constant generator of electrical energy, if this good is a renewable resource, we must remember that it is limited.

Sun

The heat resources that the sun grants to planet earth contribute significant loads of energy to different energy sources in the world.

Biofuel

This type of product based on alcohols derived from sugar cane and various seeds , can generate different types of energy.

Profits

One of its main benefits is that

• It generates resources by itself while contributing to the diversification and self – sufficiency of various resources.
• Pollution is almost nil so it represents a cleaner energy alternative for the moment.
• Generate jobs

Importance

Renewable resources represent an increase in the improvement of natural resources , since there is a greater awareness of their use, along with a constant study about how to obtain a better use of the resources that are used. It establishes that the wealth of nations will be managed in order to create jobs and opportunities for social and environmental development , granting possibilities with which the use of said resources can be improved.

Difference between renewable and non-renewable resources

Its difference is based on its use, exploitation and way of being exploited. Renewable and non-renewable resources can both be supported by one or several communities, as long as they commit to their controlled and studied use.

Among their differences we can highlight:

• Renewable resources can be reused or replaced, proof that non-renewable ones end up being depleted and destroyed.
• Non-renewable resources are oil, gas, coal, nuclear fuel .
• Renewable resources are air, water, wind power , energy , geothermal , solar energy .

Examples of renewable resources

• Solar energy
• Wind power
• Biofuels
• Farm products
• Hydraulic energy.
• Geothermal energy

Renewable resources by country

Mexico

Mexico has around 230 renewable energy plants according to a United Nations Organization, these being the possessors of great technology and a vast collection of studies and research, which seek to understand their use and consumption. It occupies the 4th place worldwide in geothermal energy production, which occupies 7% of its total renewable energy capacity, and can represent 20% of total energy which is produced worldwide.

Ecuador

Ecuador is one of the first world manufacturers of bananas and it is also the place where the famous Panama Hats are produced, which are not from Panama but from Ecuador, which are toquilla straw hats. Recently , copper deposits have been found that, due to their volume, will make it the third largest manufacturer in America after Bolivia and Chile .
