能源效率 energy efficiency (Refers to actions to save fuels by better building design, the modification of production processes, better selection of road vehicles and transport policies, the adoption of district heating schemes in conjunction with electrical power generation, and the use of domestic insulation and double glazing in homes)
能源转换 energy conversion (The process of changing energy from one form to another)
能源类型 energy type (According to the source, energy can be classified as hydroenergy, solar energy, tidal energy, wind energy, waves energy, geothermal energy, etc.. According to the type of fuel used for its production, energy can be classified as nuclear energy, coal derived energy, petroleum derived energy, biomass derived energy, etc.)
能源技术 energy technology
能源节约 energy saving (Avoiding wasting energy)
能源消耗 energy consumption (Amount of energy consumed by a person or an apparatus shown as a unit)
能源供应 energy supply (The provision and storage of energy (the capacity to do work or produce a change), or the amount of energy stored, for the use of a municipality, or other energy user)
能源原料 energy source material (Sources from which energy can be obtained to provide heat, light, and power. Energy resources, including fossil and nuclear fuels as well as solar, water, tidal and geothermal energy, may be captured or recovered and converted into other energy forms for a variety of household, commercial, transportation, and industrial applications)
能源管理 energy management (The administration or handling of power derived from sources such as fossil fuel, electricity and solar radiation)
能源储存 energy storage (Amount of energy reserves; often refers to the stocks of non-renewable fuel, such as oil, which a nation, for example, possesses)
能源环境冲击 environmental impact of energy (Energy and environmental problems are closely related, since it is nearly impossible to produce, transport, or consume energy without significant environmental impact. The environmental problems directly related to energy production and consumption include air pollution, water pollution, thermal pollution, and solid waste disposal. The emission of air pollutants from fossil fuel combustion is the major cause of urban air pollution. Diverse water pollution problems are associated with energy usage. One major problem is oil spills. In all petroleum-handling operations, there is a finite probability of spilling oil either on the earth or in a body of water. Coal mining can also pollute water. Changes in groundwater flow produced by mining operations often bring otherwise unpolluted waters into contact with certain mineral materials which are leached from the soil and produce an acid mine drainage. Solid waste is also a by-product of some forms of energy usage. Coal mining requires the removal of large quantities of earth as well as coal. In general, environmental problems increase with energy use and this combined with the limited energy resource base is the crux of the energy crisis. An energy impact assessment should compare these costs with the benefits to be derived from energy use)
能源过程 energy process (Any natural phenomenon or series of actions by which energy is converted or made more usable)
能源经济 energy economics (The production, distribution, and consumption of usable power such as fossil fuel, electricity, or solar radiation)
能源法 energy legislation
能源保护咨询委员会 Advisory Council of Energy Conservation
能源回收 energy recovery (A form of resource recovery in which the organic fraction of waste is converted to some form of usable energy. Recovery may be achieved through the combustion of processed or raw refuse to produce steam through the pyrolysis of refuse to produce oil or gas; and through the anaerobic digestion of organic wastes to produce methane gas)
能源工业 energy industry (Industry which converts various types of fuels as well as solar, water, tidal, and geothermal energy into other energy forms for a variety of household, commercial, transportation, and industrial application)
能量分配系统 energy distribution system (Any publicly or privately organized setup in which usable power such as electricity is delivered to homes and businesses)
能量守恒 energy balance (The energetic state of a system at any given time)
能量守恒〔不灭〕 energy conservation
