| zatiki-berezgailu | particle separator (A device for segregation of solid particles by size range, as a screening) | |
| zefalopodo | cephalopod (Exclusively marine animals constituting the most advanced class of the Mollusca, including squid, octopuses, and Nautilus) | |
| zehapen | sanction | |
| zehapen penal | penal sanction (Punishment for the commission of a specific crime, such as fines, restitution, probation and imprisonment) | |
| zehapen-zuzenbide | law relating to prisons (Binding rules and regulations pertaining to the construction, use and operation of jails, penitentiaries and other places of legal confinement and punishment) | |
| zeharkako hustuketa | indirect discharger (A non-domestic source introducing pollutants into a publicly owned waste-treatment system. Indirect dischargers can be commercial or industrial facilities whose wastes enter local sewers) | |
| zehazte-metodo | determination method (Method employed in the assessment or in the evaluation of a quantity, a quality, a fact, an event, etc.) | |
| zelai | open lawn (Any relatively unobstructed field of cultivated and mown grass, especially near a house or in a park) | |
| zelenteratu | coelenterate (Animals that have a single body cavity (the coelenteron). The name was formerly given to a phylum comprising the Cnidaria and Ctenophora, but these are now regarded as phyla in their own right, and the name Coelenterata has fallen from use, although it is sometimes used as a synonym for Cnidaria) | |
| zelula | cell (The microscopic functional and structural unit of all living organisms, consisting of a nucleus, cytoplasm, and a limiting membrane; biology) | |
| zelula fotovoltaiko | solar cell (A device for converting sunlight into electrical power using a semiconductor sensitive to the photovoltaic effect. Solar cells are used on space satellites to power electronic equipment, and as their price falls they may come to be used to provide energy on the Earth) | |
| zelulosa | cellulose (The main polysaccharide in living plants, forming the skeletal structure of the plant cell wall; a polymer of beta-D-glucose linked together with the elimination of water to form chains of 2000-4000 units) | |
| zelulosa-industria | cellulose industry (No definition needed) | |
| zelulosaren industria | pulp industry (A sector of the economy in which an aggregate of commercial enterprises is engaged in manufacturing and selling the soft, moist, slightly cohering mass deriving from wood that is used to produce paper sheets, cardboard and other paper products) | |
| zementu | cement (A dry powder made from silica, alumina, lime, iron oxide, and magnesia which hardens when mixed with water; used as an ingredient in concrete) | |
| zementu-industria | cement industry (Industry for the production of cement. The emissions of most relevance from this sector are atmospheric: dust, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides are the most important. Cement is essential for the construction sector, either directly or mixed with sand or gravel to form concrete) | |
| zementugintza | cement manufacture (Cement is produced by heating a mixture of clay or shale plus chalk or lime in a rotary kiln up to 250 m long per 8 m diameter rotating at 1 rpm. The process can be wet, semi-dry or dry and the fuel can be pulverized coal, oil or gas. As the coal ash is similar in composition to the clay or shale, it can stay in the cement clinker. As one of the kiln operator's major costs is fuel and even a modest sized kiln can consume 8-10 tons of coal per hour, the cement kiln could, therefore, solve a disposal problem and also benefit the cement manufacturer by reducing fuel costs) | |
| zentral elektriko | electric power plant (A stationary plant containing apparatus for large-scale conversion of some form of energy (such as hydraulic, steam, chemical, or nuclear energy) into electrical energy) | |
| zentral elektriko | power station (A stationary plant containing apparatus for large-scale conversion of some form of energy (such as hydraulic, steam, chemical, or nuclear energy) into electrical energy) | |
| zentral elektriko txiki | small power station (Power station of small size for the generation of energy at local level) |
