| dílčí zařízení pro referenční úroveň paliva | fuel benchmark sub-installation |
| Evropská technologická platforma pro elektrárny spalující fosilní paliva s nulovými emisemi | European Technology Platform for Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plant |
| Evropská technologická platforma pro elektrárny spalující fosilní paliva s nulovými emisemi | ETP-ZEP |
| exkrementy živočichů jako palivo | animal dung as fuel Excrement from animals that may be dried and burned to generate energy or converted to liquid or gaseous fuels, such as methane, through chemical processes |
| odsiřování paliv | desulphurisation of fuel Removal of sulfur from fossil fuels (or removal of sulfur dioxide from combustion fuel gases) to reduce pollution |
| palivo biologické | biofuel A gaseous, liquid, or solid fuel that contains an energy content derived from a biological source. The organic matter that makes up living organisms provides a potential source of trapped energy that is beginning to be exploited to supply the ever-increasing energy demand around the world. An example of a biofuel is rapeseed oil, which can be used in place of diesel fuel in modified engines. The methyl ester of this oil, rapeseed methyl ester (RME), can be used in unmodified diesel engines and is sometimes known as biodiesel. Other biofuels include biogas and gasohol |
| palivo fosilní | fossil fuel The energy-containing materials which were converted over many thousands of years from their original form of trees, plants and other organisms after being buried in the ground. Physical and chemical processes occurred in the Earth's crust that changed them into coal, peat, oil or natural gas |
| palivo jaderné | nuclear fuel Nuclear fuels are obtained from inorganic minerals extracted by mining. Although they are at least partially consumed when used in nuclear reactors for the production of heat, they differ from fossil fuels in the way they release energy. Burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and gas, is a chemical reaction. Nuclear fuels, such as uranium, are destroyed by a process of spontaneous disintegration, called fission, and prompted by natural radioactivity. If the process is left to occur naturally in uranium-bearing rock, the rate of change is imperceptibly small. In a man-made nuclear reactor the energy-releasing processes of disintegration, which in the natural state happen slowly over thousands of millions of years, are compressed into minutes. The release of energy is harnessed to generate steam which drives electricity generators |
| palivo motorové | motor fuel Any gaseous or liquid flammable fuel that burns in an internal combustion engine |
| palivo neznečišťující | non-polluting fuel Clean fuel that does not release polluting emissions in the environment, such as methane |
| palivo pro domácnosti | domestic fuel Fuels obtained from different sources that are used for domestic heating |
| palivo z odpadků | refuse derived fuel Fuel produced from domestic refuse, after glass and metals have been removed from it, by compressing it to form briquettes used to fuel boilers |
| přepracování paliva jaderného | reprocessing Restoration of contaminated nuclear fuel to a usable condition |
| přísada do paliva | fuel additive Substance (such as tetraethyl lead) which is added to petrol to prevent knocking |
| skladba paliv | fuel mix |
| složení paliva | fuel composition |
| spotřeba paliva | fuel consumption |
| spotřeba paliva | fuel consumption The amount of fuel utilized |
| Výbor pro jakost paliv | Fuel Quality Committee |
| Výbor pro jakost paliv | Committee on Fuel Quality |
