The idea behind renewable energy is that energy can be derived from sources that are always available since they are naturally replenished, rather than from sources that are non-renewable and so will run out. Once a non-renewable source of energy has been used, it is gone. Renewable sources of energy cannot be depleted.

Renewable energy is a form of energy that comes from a source that is not going to run out. It offers an alternative to non-renewable sources of energy, which are derived from sources that will one day be completely depleted. Energy sources such as oil are non-renewable. There is only a certain amount of oil in the world, and oil is no longer being produced, which means that at some point it will all be used up. A renewable source of energy is one that is constantly being created, so it is always there to use. You can take the energy from sunlight, the wind, or another renewable source, and there will always be more energy available in the future because you are not consuming something that is irreplaceable.

Using wastes from crops such as straw and husks as a by-product to produce biomass fuel actually increases the value of the original source crops. When carbon dioxide is released during the combustion process, a carbon sink to sequester this greenhouse gas will start with replanting and oxygen will also be released into the atmosphere as photosynthesis proceeds.
With the ever present pressure on landfill sites to take municipal waste streams, the idea of getting biomass from these sites will ultimately see a cut in waste volumes accumulating in these locations, which are the cause of significant releases of methane, a greenhouse gas with over twenty times the potency of carbon dioxide.
