Flashcards
0/8
Anaerobic Digestion
The process of breaking down organic farm waste in the absence of oxygen to produce biogas that can be used for heating or electricity.
Geothermal Energy
Using the earth's internal heat for farm heating needs, such as greenhouses, or generating electricity in some areas.
Hydroelectric Energy
Capturing energy from water flow to power agricultural operations, especially effective on farms with access to water bodies or strong water currents.
Solar Energy
Harnessing sunlight using photovoltaic (PV) systems to power farm operations or using solar thermal systems for heating.
Wind Energy
Utilizing wind turbines to produce electricity for on-farm use, potentially selling excess energy back to the grid.
Biomass Energy
Burning organic materials, such as crop residues or manure, to generate heat or electricity, or converting biomass to biofuels.
Micro-Hydro Energy
Small-scale hydroelectric systems that can provide power for individual farms or rural communities without disrupting local ecosystems significantly.
Tidal Energy
Exploiting the movement of the tides to generate electricity which can be used for coastal agricultural enterprises.
