Exploring the Current State of Development of Non-Renewable Resources and Sustainable Measures

Abstract

Non-renewable resources are natural resources that have a very long formation cycle and are difficult to recover on a time scale relative to human history. With China's policy reforms, the energy structure has been continuously optimized and adjusted, and the pressure on the development of non-renewable energy sources, mainly coal, oil and natural gas, has increased dramatically. Therefore, this paper studies the advantages and disadvantages of non-renewable energy, analyses the impact of non-renewable energy on the current environmental situation, and researches the development trend of non-renewable energy and the direction of substitution. The study shows that renewable energy, nuclear energy and the current research of frontier technology is the basic direction of substitution of non-renewable energy. Adjusting the energy structure and reducing the environmental burden through emission reduction measures in the fields of industry, transport and construction. Government policy support and public education are ways to reduce carbon footprints and ease environmental pressure.
