A “black” gold material has been developed to harvest sunlight, and then use the energy to turn carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful chemicals and fuel. In addition to this, the material can also be used for applications including water purification, heating – and could help further research into new, efficient catalysts.

In terms of the source of origin, natural resources can be divided into the following types:
- Biotic: these resources come from living and organic material, such as forests and animals, and include the materials that can be obtained them.
- Abiotic: these resources come from non-living and non-organic material.
Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal seams. Coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements; chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Petroleum, also called crude oil, is a fossil fuel. Like coal and natural gas, petroleum was formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms, such as plants, algae, and bacteria. Coal, natural gas, and petroleum are all fossil fuels that formed under similar conditions.
An inexhaustible resource is one that is replaceable, while an exhaustible resource is not replaceable, hence wind, sunlight and water are inexhaustible resources while other are exhaustible resources.
