| 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) | |
| zentral elektrikoaren ixte | power station derating (The process by which a power plant is finally taken out of operation) | |
| zentral hidroelektriko | hydroelectric power plant (Power station which operates with the free renewable source of energy provided by falling water) | |
| zentral nuklear | nuclear power plant (A power plant in which nuclear energy is converted into heat for use in producing steam for turbines, which in turn drive generators that produce electric power) | |
| zentral nuklearretako hondakin erradioa | nuclear power plant disposal | |
| zentral termoelektriko | thermal power plant (A power-generating plant which uses heat to produce energy. Such plants may burn fossil fuels or use nuclear energy to produce the necessary thermal energy) | |
| zentral zaharkitu | antiquated plant (Old installation that do not respond to new rules for the prevention of environmental pollution and whose redevelopment requires investments for adopting technologies related to the protection of waterways, waste management, noise reduction and emission control) | |
| zentralizazio | centralisation | |
| zentrifugazio | centrifugation (Separation of particles from a suspension in a centrifuge: balanced tubes containing the suspension are attached to the opposite ends of arms rotating rapidly about a central point; the suspended particles are forced outwards, and collect at the bottoms of the tubes) | |
| zepa | slag (A nonmetallic product resulting from the interaction of flux and impurities in the smelting and refining of metals) | |
