Resources non-renewable

In bioprocesses, the feedstocks required to grow the catalysts and produce the chemical renewable are generally renewable resources, such as sugar from crops. Conversely, purely feedstocks chemical synthesis relies largely on non-renewable resources such as oil, coal and natural gas. It follows that as non-renewable resources dwindle, it is likely that biotechnology will become increasingly important to the chemical industry. 

Abiotic Depletion. This takes account of depletion of all non-renewable resources. The impact is calculated as the sum of the resource used for each functional unit divided by the estimated reserves of that resource.

Abstract Many hazardous substances of today had been looked at as valuable chemicals some decades ago. At present, management especially in the case of scarce, non-renewable resources is of growing importance. The experiences collected with the management of contaminants might be helpful also for valuable resources. This is demonstrated using two well-documented examples, Cd and PCBs. Pt serves as a counterexample to prove if the DPSIR method can be applied to contaminants and resources without fundamental changes. Some of the countermeasures introduced to control environmental contaminants may also be applied to save non-renewable resources.

The Non-renewable Resource Assessments (NRAs) are part of step 5 in an 8-step process that may ultimately result in (partial or limited) protection of certain areas from development. Phase 1 of an NRA is a desktop exercise that evaluates all existing mineral deposit and survey data for an area from all sources, determines knowledge gaps of the mineral potential, and suggests an approach for Phase 2 follow-up work. Phase 2 of the NRA typically involves field and analytical work designed to lead to a better understanding of the resource potential for a candidate protected area.

Alternative fuels are substitute fuel sources to petroleum. These fuels are important because they replace petroleum fuels however, some still include a small amount of petroleum in the mixture. By replacing petroleum-based fuels, we will no longer need to rely on fossil fuel, which is a non-renewable resource. There are many benefits in using alternative fuels as well. The population of automobiles is currently dominated by vehicles burning gasoline, where the main alternative fuels for these types of vehicles are alcohol, liquefied petroleum gas, compressed natural gas, hydrogen and electricity. 

Terrestrial biomass is of course dependent on a non renewable resource - the soil - for mechanical support and the supply and transport of nutrients to the growing plant. The Canadian total land area of 996,6991000 ha has the following land classification (4). 

Fossil fuels are an example of non-renewable resources, so called because they are not being replaced at the same rate as they are being used up. For example, we have approximately 60 years supply of crude oil remaining, depending on the way in which it is extracted and the rate at which it is used, maybe more (Table 6.2). It is important to use non-renewable fuels very carefully and to consider alternative, renewable sources of energy for use now and in the future.

Over-harvesting—This refers to the capturing of animals faster than they are able to regenerate their populations by breeding, the population declines possibly to the point of extinction in severe cases. Potentially, economically important animal populations can be utilized as a renewable natural resource. However, if they are over-harvested, they are being mined, and managed as if they were a non-renewable resource. 

Non-renewable resources A natural resource, such as fossil fuels, that has a finite stock and cannot he renewed.
