Across
- 2. combines multiple types of energy generation and/or storage or uses two or more kinds of fuel to power a generator
- 8. a panel designed to absorb the sun's rays as a source of energy for generating electricity or heating
- 10. turbine a turbine having a large vaned wheel rotated by the wind to generate electricity
- 11. an energy harvesting technology, that converts solar energy into useful electricity through a process
- 13. energy from a source that is not depleted when used, such as wind or solar power
- 14. relating to or produced by the internal heat of the earth
- 16. a colorless, odorless flammable gas which is the main constituent of natural gas. It is the simplest member of the alkane series of hydrocarbons
- 19. relating to or denoting the generation of electricity using flowing water (typically from a reservoir held behind a dam or other barrier) to drive a turbine that powers a generator
- 20. gaseous fuel, especially methane, produced by the fermentation of organic matter
Down
- 1. power obtained by harnessing the energy of the wind
- 3. a biofuel intended as a substitute for diesel
- 4. organic matter used as a fuel, especially in a power station for the generation of electricity
- 5. use solar energy to heat a fluid -- either liquid or air and then transfer the solar heat directly to the interior space or to a storage system for later use
- 6. a building with sails or vanes that turn in the wind and generate power to grind grain into flour
- 7. the use of the sun's energy directly for either heating or cooling purposes
- 9. the generation of electricity and other energy jointly, especially the utilization of the steam left over from electricity generation to produce heat
- 12. renewable source of energy that generates power by using a dam or diversion structure to alter the natural flow of a river or other body of water
- 15. an area of land with a group of energy-producing windmills or wind turbines
- 17. a machine for producing continuous power in which a wheel or rotor, typically fitted with vanes, is made to revolve by a fast-moving flow of water, steam, gas, air, or other fluid.
- 18. the sun's rays as a source of energy from which power for domestic or industrial use may be generated
