"RENEWABLE RESOURCES" is a plural of: renewable resource. |
| Domain | Definition |
Agriculture | Natural resources, sometimes called flow resources, that replenish themselves within time limits that permit sustained use, in contrast to nonrenewable resources. Congress recognized the renewable nature of resources managed by the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management (including timber, livestock forage, recreation, water, and wildlife and fish) by requiring both agencies to follow the principles of multiple use and sustained yield. (references) |
Energy | Renewable energy resources are naturally replenishable, but flow-limited. They are virtually inexhaustible in duration but limited in the amountof energy that is available per unit of time. Some (such as geothermaland biomass) may be stock-limited in that stocks are depleted by use, buton a time scale of decades, or perhaps centuries, they can probably bereplenished. Renewable energy resources include: biomass, hydro,geothermal, solar and wind. In the future they could also include theuse of ocean thermal, wave, and tidal action technologies. Utilityrenewable resource applications include bulk electricity generation,on-site electricity generation, distributed electricity generation,non-grid-connected generation, and demand-reduction (energy efficiency)technologies.

Business | What is also of significance is that the purchase of externally generated power from renewable resources would release coal, water and financial resources for purposes other than inputs to the generation of electricity. (references) | |
New Zealand's electricity demand is largely met by renewable resources, mainly hydro (about 67%) and geothermal (5%). Over two-thirds of hydro electricity is generated in the lower region of the South Island, and all geothermal electricity is generated in the North Island. (references) | ||
Nevertheless, it is recommended that attention is given to CHP plants, industrial co-generation and co-firing in coal plants as higher priorities in order to emphasize the most efficient use of indigenous renewable resources from the beginning of renewed efforts to promote and expand biomass energy applications.

Mauritius | To reduce dependency on imported fuel, the government is encouraging production of electricity from renewable resources such as bagasse (sugar cane waste), solar, wind, and ocean thermal energy conversion. (references) | |
