Non-renewable resources are natural resources that do not have the capacity to regrow or replenish their original levels after exploitation, within a human timescale. Overwithdrawal of non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels will result in levels beyond which their regeneration is impossible.(1) The term non-renewable resources is often used in connection with non-renewable sources of energy, such as coal, oil and natural gas.
