| biomass energy A renewable energy source that makes use of such biofuels as methane (biogas) generated by sewage, farm, industrial, or household organic waste materials. Other biofuels include trees grown in so-called "energy forests" or other plants, such as sugar cane, grown for their energy potential. Biomass energy relies on combustion and therefore produces carbon dioxide; its use would not, therefore, alleviate the greenhouse effect | 生物质能iciba生物量能量台, 可再生能源，利用生物燃料，例如从污水、农业、工业、或家庭产生的有机废弃物中得到甲烷(沼气)。其他生物燃料包括在"能源森林"中生长的树或其他的植物，例如甘蔗，增长为他们的能源潜力。生物质能依靠燃烧，因此生产二氧化碳;因此，它的利用不能缓和温室效应。 |

| energy conservation The strategy for reducing energy requirements per unit of industrial output or individual well-being without affecting the progress of socio-economic development or causing disruption in life style. In temperate developed countries most energy is used in heating and lighting industrial and domestic buildings. Industrial processes, transport and agriculture are the other main users. During the 1970s it was demonstrated that substantial savings could be achieved through appropriate building technologies and the use of energy-efficient equipment for heating, air-conditioning and lighting. Most goods could and should be both manufactured and made to work more efficiently | 节约能源 (在不影响社会经济发展或造成生活状况混乱的前提下，减少每单位工业产值或个人健康相关的能源需求所采取的策略。在一般发达国家中，大部分的能源用于工业和家庭建筑的暖气和照明。工业过程、运输和农业是其他的主要能源消耗者。19世纪70年代证实，通过适当的建筑技术和使用高能源效能的暖气、空调和照明设备，可以节省可观的能源。大部分产品可以而且应该以更加有效的方式制造和使用。) |

| environmental impact of energy Energy and environmental problems are closely related, since it is nearly impossible to produce, transport, or consume energy without significant environmental impact. The environmental problems directly related to energy production and consumption include air pollution, water pollution, thermal pollution, and solid waste disposal. The emission of air pollutants from fossil fuel combustion is the major cause of urban air pollution. Diverse water pollution problems are associated with energy usage. One major problem is oil spills. In all petroleum-handling operations, there is a finite probability of spilling oil either on the earth or in a body of water. Coal mining can also pollute water. Changes in groundwater flow produced by mining operations often bring otherwise unpolluted waters into contact with certain mineral materials which are leached from the soil and produce an acid mine drainage. Solid waste is also a by-product of some forms of energy usage. Coal mining requires the removal of large quantities of earth as well as coal. In general, environmental problems increase with energy use and this combined with the limited energy resource base is the crux of the energy crisis. An energy impact assessment should compare these costs with the benefits to be derived from energy use | 能源环境冲击 (能源和环境问题息息相关，因为若要生产、运输或消耗能量而不造成严重的环境冲击是几乎不可能的。环境问题直接与能源的生产和消耗有关，包含空气污染、水污染、热污染和固废弃置。石化燃料燃烧所产生的空气污染物的排放是主要都市空气污染的原因。各样的水污染问题是与能源使用有关联的。 其中主要的问题是石油泄漏。在所有石油的处理操作中，有可能在土地上或水体中发生泄漏。采煤也会污染水体。采矿作业时改变地下水的水流，使得未污染的水与某种矿物(这些矿物是被土壤所过滤出来的)接触而产生酸性的矿物排放水。固体废弃物也是能源使用后的副产产物。) |
| geothermal energy An energy produced by tapping the earth's internal heat. At present, the only available technologies to do this are those that extract heat from hydrothermal convection systems, where water or steam transfer the heat from the deeper part of the earth to the areas where the energy can be tapped. The amount of pollutants found in geothermal vary from area to area but may contain arsenic, boron, selenium, lead, cadmium, and fluorides. They also may contain hydrogen sulphide, mercury, ammonia, radon, carbon dioxide, and methane | 地热能 (通过开发地球内部热量而产生的能量。目前唯一能够这样做的技术是从水热对流系统中提取出热量。水热对流系统是通过水或蒸汽将热量从地球深处向能量能被提取的地方转移。地热中含有的污染物的多少根据区域的不同而不同，包括砷、硼、硒、铅、镉氟化物，也包括硫化氢、汞、氨、氡、二氧化碳和甲烷等。) |

| hydroelectric energy The free renewable source of energy provided by falling water that drives the turbines. Hydropower is the most important of the regenerable energy sources because of its highest efficiency at the energy conversion. There are two types of hydroelectric power plants: 1. run-of-river power plants for the use of affluent water; 2. storage power plants (power stations with reservoir) where the influx can be regulated with the help of a reservoir. Mostly greater differences in altitudes are being used, like mountain creeks. Power stations with reservoirs are generally marked by barrages with earth fill dam or concrete dams. Though hydropower generally can be called environmentally acceptable, there exist also some problems: 1. change of groundwater level and fill up of the river bed with rubble. 2. Risk of dam breaks. 3. Great demand for land space for the reservoir. 4. Diminution, but partly also increase of value of recreation areas. As the hydropowers of the world are limited,the world energy demand however is rising, finally the share of hydropower will decrease | 水力发电能源 (由流下的水推动涡轮机产生能量。因水力的高能量转换率，故成为最重要的再生能源。有两种型式的水力电厂：a.利用丰沛的河水发电的电厂；b.储存式电厂(水库电厂)，进流水水量可经由水库的调节控制。大部分是利用高度差，如高山溪流。水库电厂通常是有土壤或水泥建造的水坝。虽然水力发电的环境相容性高，但仍有一些问题：1.改变地下水水位，并将河岸填充碎石；b.水坝溃决的危险；c.对土地空间的需求大；d.缩小但也部分增加了休閒地区。世上的水力发电有限，但世上对能源的需求却不断上升，造成水力发电的分配量将会降低。) |
