Also known as Clean Power or Renewable Power. Electricity derived from Solar, Wind, Hydro, Biomass and Geothermal sources that are viewed as an environmentally friendly means of creating power. What qualifies them as environmentally friendly sources is that they do not produce any emissions like carbon dioxide or nitrogen oxide.
Environmental impacts from power plants differ greatly depending on how the electricity is produced and what pollution controls are used during production. "Green power" refers to electricity produced in ways that are generally considered to have less harmful environmental impacts.
electricity generated from clean, renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, biomass and hydro power.
see “ Renewable Energy Resources
Energy derived from natural sources that replenish themselves over short periods of time. These resources include the sun, wind, moving water, organic plant and waste material (biomass), and the earth's heat (geothermal).
The term "green power" generally refers to electricity supplied in whole or in part from renewable energy sources.
A term synonymous with renewable energy resource products. Green Power is cleaner than electricity from traditional sources because it results in lower air pollution emissions and no nuclear waste. It is also more environmentally friendly because it comes from electricity resources that are renewable - such as the sun, water, wind, biomass (the burning of agriculture or other wastes), and geothermal (heat from the earth).
energy produced by renewable resources, typically defined as wind, solar, biomass, etc.
Electricity that was generated exclusively from "green", environmentally friendly resources (e.g. solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, biomass).
Electricity generated from renewable energy sources (solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and hydroelectric).
Electricity generated from solar, wind, geothermal and other environmentally friendly resources.
Electricity generated using a process whose operation does not emit greenhouse gases. Examples are wind, hydo, or solar generators.
Electricity produced by environmentally friendly sources like wind, solar and other renewable fuels. ( Back)
Electricity generation considered to be less intrusive environmentally than traditional generation. Green power sources include wind, water landfill gas, solar, and others.
A popular term for energy produced from clean, renewable energy resources such as wind, solar, or hydro electric systems.
A term synonymous with renewable energy resource products. Resulting in lower air pollution emissions and no nuclear waste, Green Power is cleaner than electricity from traditional sources. Green Power is also more environmentally friendly, because it comes from electricity resources that are renewable. Examples include the sun, water, wind, biomass (the burning of agriculture or other wastes) and geothermal (heat from the earth).
A national government-approved accreditation program that sets stringent environmental and reporting standards for renewable energy products offered by electricity suppliers to households and businesses across Australia.
Green Power is a term used to describe electricity produced by sources that are less harmful to the environment than fossil fuels. While there is no strict definition of Green Power, generally renewable sources such as solar, wind power, geothermal, biomass, and small hydroelectric are considered Green Power sources.
A general term that describes power that is environmentally friendly. It typically uses a mix of energy sources with renewable energy being at least one of the sources.
Electricity that is generated from eligible renewable energy sources and is purchased voluntarily by consumers, including both residential and non-residential consumers.
A popular term for energy produced from renewable energy resources that are commonly considered environmentally preferable. (Source: Adapted from U.S. Department of Energy)
The term "green power" is used to define power generated from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, geothermal, hydropower and various forms of biomass.
Power generated from environmentally friendly sources or in ways that do not degrade the environment (e.g., wind, solar).
