| gasolinera | filling station (A place where petrol and other supplies for motorists are sold) | |
| gasos d'efecte d'hivernacle | greenhouse gas (A collective expression for those components of the atmosphere that influence the greenhouse effect, namely carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides, ozone, CFCs and water vapour, GHG) | |

| gelada | frost (A deposit of interlocking ice crystals formed by direct sublimation on objects) | |
| gen | gene (A unit of heredity composed of DNA occupying a fixed position on a chromosome. A gene may determine a characteristic of an individual by specifying a polypeptide chain that forms a protein or part of a protein (structural gene); or repress such operation (repressor gene)) | |
| generador de vapor | steam generator (A pressurized system in which water is vaporized to steam by heat transferred from a source of higher temperature, usually the products of combustion from burning fuels. Also known as steam boiler) | |
| genètica | genetics (The science that is concerned with the study of biological inheritance) | |
| genètica animal | animal genetics (The scientific study of the hereditary material of animals for theoretical and practical applications such as increased population, conservation and disease research) | |
| genètica vegetal | plant genetics (The scientific study of the hereditary material of plants for purposes such as hybridization, improved food resources and increased production) | |
| genotoxicitat | genotoxicity | |
| gent desprotegida | underprivileged people (A segment of the population that does not have access to the rights or benefits granted to the rest of society, often because of low economic or social status) | |

| geografia política | political geography (The study of the effects of political actions on human geography, involving the spatial analysis of political phenomena) | |
| geologia | geology (The study or science of the earth, its history, and its life as recorded in the rocks; includes the study of geologic features of an area, such as the geometry of rock formations, weathering and erosion, and sedimentation) | |
| geologia del petroli | petroleum geology (The branch of economic geology that relates to the origin, migration and accumulation of oil and gas, and to the discovery of commercial deposits. Its practice involves the application of geochemistry, geophysics, paleontology, structural geology and stratigraphy to the problems of finding hydrocarbons) |
