Question

What is the difference between non-conventional and renewable energy?are they same?

Answer 1

By definition, Non-conventional energy is energy that is renewable and ecologically safe, such as solar, tidal, wind, biomass, hydrogen, fuel cell power, etc.

The energy sources are exposed to use from modern technological advancements; rather than the normal use of conventional fuels as energy sources like gas or oil.

Renwable energy comes from non-ending resources.

which makes them the same.

But if you are talking about nonconventional oil, thats another story.

non-conventional oil is oil produced or extracted using techniques other than the traditional oil well method.

this is not renwable energy resource.
