Energy Transition puzzle
Across
- 3. An automatic mechanical device that increases the power of the solar radiation picked up by a photovoltaic panel by reducing the angle of incidence between oncoming sunlight and the panel.
- 6. An acronym for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, established in 1988.
- 8. A price-based incentive mechanism for renewable energies, thanks to which the producer is awarded a pre-established premium on the market price of energy.
- 10. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals established in 2015 by the United Nations to guarantee future peace and prosperity for humanity.
- 11. Creating shared value. A business model through which it is possible to create economic value for both the business and its stakeholders by producing a benefit for society and the environment.
- 12. Mechanical device that produces continuous power by converting the kinetic and potential energy of a liquid into mechanical power.
- 13. One of the main traditional processes capable of producing hydrogen by transforming a solid or liquid fuel into gas at high temperatures (of over 1000 °C)
- 14. A device that converts continuous current (CC) to alternating current (AC). For instance, it is used to convert continuous current from photovoltaic panels to alternating current to be fed into the grid.
Down
- 1. Wind farms built on open water that turns the kinetic energy of the wind into electricity, generally at sea or on the ocean.
- 2. A device that converts various forms of energy – mechanical, chemical, light or thermal – into electricity.
- 4. A device that converts the mechanical energy created by the rotating element of a turbine into electric power
- 5. Collective term for organic matter that can be used to generate electricity, transformed into fuel or used directly to produce heat
- 7. This is the term used for removal or reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) output into the atmosphere. Decarbonisation is achieved by switching to usage of low carbon energy sources.
- 9. A device installed on the blades of wind turbines to reduce the noise they produce: the name describes its shape, which recalls the serration of a dinosaur tail.
- 11. Tax levied on fossil fuels on the basis of their carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, the aim of which is to contribute to reducing such emissions
