tecnología ecológicamente racional |
environmentally sound technology |
|
tecnología energética con baja emisión de carbono |
low-carbon energy technology |
|
tecnología energética de bajo nivel de emisiones de carbono |
low-carbon energy technology |
|
tecnología energética eficiente |
energy efficient technology |
|
tecnología energética eficiente |
fuel-saving technology |
|
tecnología integrada de protección del medio ambiente |
integrated environmental protection technology (Technologies that meet environmental objectives by incorporating pollution prevention concepts in their design. Integrated environmental control strategies introduced in the early design stages of a process, rather than an end-of-pipe control option introduced in the later stages, improve the technical and economic performance of a process) |
|
tecnología integrada de protección del medio ambiente |
integrated environmental protection technology |
|
tecnología limpia |
clean technology (Industrial process which causes little or no pollution) |
|
tecnología limpia |
cleantech |
|
tecnología multimedia |
multimedia technology (Any technical means used to combine text, sound, still or animated images and video in computers and electronic products, often allowing audience interactivity) |
|
tecnología multimedia |
multimedia technology |
|
tecnología nativa |
indigenous technology (Technologies employed by the native inhabitants of a country and which constitute an important part of its cultural heritage and should therefore be protected against exploitation by industrialized countries; the problem of indigenous knowledge has been discussed during the Rio Conference but it does not receive much protection under the Biodiversity Convention. Article 8 mandates that parties "respect, preserve and maintain knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and local communities embodying traditional life styles... and promote their wider application with the approval and involvement of holders of such knowledge, innovations and practices and encourage the equitable sharing of benefits arising from them") |

tecnología poco contaminante |
clean technology |
|
tecnología poco contaminante |
cleantech |
|
tecnología que genera escasos desechos |
low-waste technology |
|
tecnología silenciosa |
noise-free technology (Sound is radiated both as air-borne and as structure-borne; most sources produce both, thus various noise attenuation principles must be employed. Measures include: the replacement of components with quieter parts and material; the enclosure of particularly noisy components; the selection of quieter types of fan; the replacement of noisy compressed-air nozzles with quieter types; the choice of quieter transmission and cooling systems) |
|
tecnología silenciosa |
noise-free technology |
|
tecnologías alternativas |
alternative technology (Technology that, as an alternative to resource-intensive and wasteful industry, aims to utilize resources sparingly, with minimum damage to the environment, at affordable cost and with a possible degree of control over the processes) |
|
tecnologías alternativas |
alternative technology |
|
tecnologías apropiadas |
appropriate technology (techology transfer; 1. A flexible and participatory approach to developing economically viable, regionally applicable and sustainable technology. 2. Technology designed to be used in developing countries. Typical requirements are that it should: be easy to use by the unskilled; have no difficult-to-get parts; be easily repaired on the spot. Typical example: a simple windmill to pump water rather than a diesel-driven pump. The terms `alternative', `intermediate' and `appropriate' are often used interchangeably) |
