The conventional sources of energy are generally non-renewable sources of energy, which are being used since a long time. These sources of energy are being used extensively in such a way that their known reserves have been depleted to a great extent.

At the same time it is becoming increasinglydifficult to discover and exploit their new deposits. It is envisaged at known deposits of petroleum in our country will get exhausted by the few decades and coal reserves are expected to last for another hundred years. The coal , petroleum, natural gas andelectricity are conventional sources of energy.

>Conventional sources of energy are not abundant, present in limited quantity, e.g. coal, petroleum, natural gas.

>conventional source have been in use for a long time.

>conventional source aren’t refill continuously. They are formed over a million years.

>Conventional source are called non-renewable fuel sources of energy.

> Conventional source are mostly used industrial and commercial purposes.

NON-CONVENTIONAL SOURCE OF ENERGY:

Energy generated by using wind, tides, solar geothermal heat and biomass including farm and animal waste as well as human excreta is known as non-conventional energy. All these sources are renewable or inexhaustible and do not cause environment pollution. More over they do not require heavy expenditure.
