Ressources qui sans cesse se renouvellent, ou qui sont considérés comme pratiquement inépuisable. Notamment solaires, éolienne, géothermique, hydroélectrique et bois. Bien que des formations particulières géothermiques peuvent être épuisées, la chaleur naturelle de la terre est une réserve quasi inépuisable d'énergie potentielle. Ressources renouvelables comprennent également certaines sources expérimentales ou moins développés comme marémotrice, les courants marins et les gradients thermiques océaniques.
