- TURBINE /ˈtɜːrbɪn/ (US); /ˈtɜːbɪn/ (UK) · noun
- A rotary machine with blades or vanes driven by moving gas, steam, water, or another fluid, converting the fluid's energy into rotational mechanical energy. Turbines are used in power stations, aircraft, ships, and wind-energy systems. Related: turbomachine.
- PHOTOVOLTAIC /ˌfoʊtoʊvɑːlˈteɪɪk/ (US); /ˌfəʊtəʊvɒlˈteɪɪk/ (British) · adjective
- Relating to or employing the photovoltaic effect, the generation of electricity when light falls on certain materials. It commonly describes devices or systems that convert sunlight into electrical power. Related: solar, photoelectric.
- GEOTHERMAL /ˌdʒiːoʊˈθɜːrməl/ (US); /ˌdʒiːəˈθɜːməl/ (UK) · adjective; noun
- Relating to heat from within the Earth or to energy produced from that heat. As a noun, geothermal refers to heat from beneath the Earth's surface or the energy obtained from it.
- BIOMASS /ˈbaɪoʊmæs/ · noun
- The total mass of living organisms in a given area or ecosystem, or organic matter used as a source of energy, especially by burning or fermentation. Related: organic matter, living matter, biologic material, fuelwood.
- HYDROELECTRIC /ˌhaɪdrəˈlektrɪk/ · adjective
- Relating to or involving the generation of electricity from the energy of flowing or falling water. It is commonly used to describe dams, power stations, turbines, and the electricity they produce. Related: water-powered, hydroelectric, renewable, water-generated.
- BIOFUEL /ˈbaɪoʊˌfjuːl/ · noun
- A fuel, such as ethanol or biodiesel, that is produced from organic matter — plants, plant-derived materials, or animal waste — rather than from fossil sources. Related: biodiesel, ethanol, biomass fuel, renewable fuel.
- RENEWABLE /rɪˈnuːəbəl/ · adjective
