GC: n CT: Geothermal energy is the heat from the Earth. It’s clean and sustainable. Resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the Earth’s surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock

GC: n CT: Geothermal heating systems utilize the latent heat energy of the earth in order to conserve the energy used to cool and heat residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. With a constant temperature ranging from 50-60˚ F, the upper crust of the earth’s surface provides a perfect environment for

GC: n CT: The internal temperature of the earth increases with depth from the surface. Near the surface, the average geothermal gradient is about 25 degrees centigrade (77 degrees Fahrenheit) for every kilometer of depth. Some areas have much higher heat flows because of deep fault zones, rifting, magmatic intrusions,

GC: n CT: Geothermal power plants have much in common with traditional power-generating stations. They use many of the same components, including turbines, generators, transformers, and other standard power generating equipment. While there are three types of geothermal power plants, this animation shows a generic plant. S: OEERE – http://energy.gov/eere/geothermal/how-geothermal-power-plant-works-simple

GC: n CT: Geothermal energy can be recovered inexpensively and in an environmentally friendly way using geothermal probes or collectors. Heat is extracted from the ground via one or more closed pipe loops. The heat transfer medium is brine, a mix of water and antifreeze. Geothermal energy can be used

GC: n CT: The outflow of heat from the Earth’s interior, the terrestrial heat flow, and the temperature field at depth are determined by deep-seated tectonic processes. The knowledge of the regional heat flow patterns is thus very important in geophysics and provides a useful tool for studying crustal and

GC: n CT: A geyser is a vent in Earth’s surface that periodically ejects a column of hot water and steam. Even a small geyser is an amazing phenomenon; however some geysers have eruptions that blast thousands of gallons of boiling hot water up to a few hundred feet in

GC: n CT: More than 11 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity have been installed in Japan over the past two years, when the country’s notable feed-in tariff incentive plan was launched, according to the country’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. To be exact, the number was 11,090 megawatts

GC: n CT: Glauber’s salt, common name for sodium sulfate decahydrate, Na2SO4·10H2O; it occurs as white or colorless monoclinic crystals. Upon exposure to fairly dry air it effloresces, forming powdery anhydrous sodium sulfate. Johann Glauber was the first to produce the salt (from Hungarian spring waters). The naturally occurring salt

GC: n CT: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that can be used to locate positions anywhere on the earth. Operated by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), NAVSTAR (NAVigation Satellite Timing and Ranging) GPS provides continuous (24 hours/day), real-time, 3-dimensional positioning, navigation and timing worldwide. Any

GC: n CT: Landmark analysis released by Greenpeace USA, European Renewable Energy Council (EREC) and other climate and energy advocates shows that the United States can indeed address global warming without relying on nuclear power or so-called “clean coal” — as some in the ongoing energy debate claim. The new

GC: n CT: In the dual water heat exchanger solution, the useful heat is distributed via a hydraulic circuit (glycol water in the outside loops and water in the coils embedded in the floor).In addition to the compressor and the expansion valve, the generator housing includes two exchangers where the

GC: n CT: The significance of slope or gradient. 17. In simple cases, you can assume that the bottom of the canal will slope downstream. In fact, water will flow in canals as long as the water level is higher at the upstream end than the downstream end. If a

GC: n CT: If you’ve ever drawn with a pencil, you’ve probably made graphene. The world’s thinnest material is set to revolutionise almost every part of everyday life. Fascination with this material stems from its remarkable physical properties and the potential applications these properties offer for the future. Although scientists

GC: n CT: Gravimetry is that branch of applied geophysics dealing with the mass distribution within the earth. Gravity surveys make use of the fact that different geological units posses different densities (weight per unit mass) being the basic physical parameter of this method. The fundamental physical law behind this

GC: n CT: What Are Green Certificates (RECs)? The electricity from all power plants, such as coal, nuclear, natural-gas fired, wind, or solar, and whether in a regulated or competitive market, is mixed together in the transmission and distribution lines that deliver electricity to homes and businesses. Meters measure how

GC: n CT: Buildings constructed today are very different from those built 100 years ago. As interest in protecting the environment grows, “green,” or sustainable, buildings have become more commonplace. At first glance, these buildings might not appear very different from their predecessors, but they feature specialized designs and materials

GC: n CT: What is the green economy? The green economy is defined as a sustainable economy and society with zero carbon emissions and a one-planet footprint where all energy is derived from renewable resources which are naturally replenished. A green economy rigorously applies the triple bottom line of people,

GC: n CT: Green energy is defined as energy generated from renewable resources through licensable and environmentally and socially responsible developments. … Green energy generation results in low or no emissions of greenhouse gases, sulphur oxides and local air pollutants. S: TERMIUMPLUS (BC Hydro – http://www.bchydro.com) N: 1. green (adj):

CG: n CT: Green hydrogen, produced using clean energy sources like renewable power, can contribute to the transition to a low-carbon economy and decarbonise various end-use sectors. According to various scenarios, at least two-thirds of the global hydrogen production is projected to originate from renewable power (“green hydrogen”) by 2050,

GC: n CT: These practices include equipment acquisition, use, disposal, and related processes. GAO was asked to (1) determine the extent to which the government has defined policy and guidance on green IT and how selected federal agencies are implementing this policy and guidance, and (2) identify leading green IT

GC: n CT: Green power can be procured several different ways. The main distinction among the options is the type of supplier and where the electricity generation equipment is located: on the electric grid or at the facility. For electricity delivered over the power grid, the status of utility restructuring
