able to be naturally replenished
Describes energy or natural things, like sun or wind, that nature makes again and again, so they do not run out.
Vartosenos šablonas:
renewable [energy/resource/source]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "renewable" with "reusable". "Renewable" describes energy or resources that nature makes again, while "reusable" describes objects you can use many times (like a reusable bag). Another mistake is using it without a noun, e.g. saying *"We need more renewable"* instead of "more renewable energy" or "more renewables".

Describes a contract, ticket, or paper that you can make valid again for more time after the first end date.
Vartosenos šablonas:
[contract/permit/visa] is renewable [after/for period]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "renewable" with "refundable". "Renewable" means you can continue or extend something (like a visa), while "refundable" means you can get your money back. Another mistake is using "renewable" for people, as in *"He is renewable next year"*; instead say "His contract is renewable next year."
Sinonimai
extendable (Emphasizes that the period can be made longer, but does not specifically mention the legal act of renewal.)
|
renewable-term (Used attributively in legal or business writing; narrower and more technical.)
Antonimai
non-renewable (Describes agreements that cannot be continued beyond the original term.)
|
fixed-term (Emphasizes that the agreement ends on a set date and normally cannot be extended.)

energy from renewable sources
Types of energy that come from things like sun, wind, and water that nature makes again and again, usually talked about together as "renewables".
Vartosenos šablonas:
invest in [renewables]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes forget that this word is usually used in the plural, as "renewables", when talking about energy sources in general. Saying *"We must invest in renewable"* is unnatural; say "invest in renewables" or "invest in renewable energy" instead.
Sinonimai
renewable energy (More explicit phrase; often interchangeable in general discussion.)
|
clean energy (Focuses more on low emissions and pollution than on being naturally replenished.)
Antonimai
fossil fuels (Refers to coal, oil, and gas, which are the main non-renewable energy sources.)
