energy generation
The technical process of converting primary energy sources such as coal, gas, wind, sun, or nuclear power into a form of energy usable by humans, usually electricity or heat.
Die Energiegewinnung aus erneuerbaren Quellen wie Wind und Sonne ist entscheidend für den Klimaschutz.
Energy generation from renewable sources such as wind and sun is crucial for climate protection.
This noun is composed of 'Energie' (energy) and 'Gewinnung' (extraction/generation). 'Gewinnung' is derived from the verb 'gewinnen' (to gain/win) and here means 'extraction' or 'generation'. So the word describes the process by which energy is 'gewonnen' (generated/obtained).
Die Gewinnung von Öl ist ein komplexer Prozess.
The extraction of oil is a complex process.
To name the source of the energy, the preposition 'aus' (from) is almost always used. People speak of 'Energiegewinnung aus' (energy generation from) a particular source.
Die Energiegewinnung aus Windkraft wird staatlich gefördert.
Energy generation from wind power is subsidized by the state.
'Energiegewinnung' (energy generation) is a technical term from the fields of technology, politics, and economics. You often find it in the news, scientific texts, and political discussions.
Im Physikunterricht sprachen wir über verschiedene Arten der Energiegewinnung.
In physics class, we talked about different types of energy generation.
energy generation
Energiegewinnung and Energieerzeugung can both refer to the technical process of obtaining usable energy such as electricity or heat. Energiegewinnung tends to emphasize obtaining energy from a primary source, while Energieerzeugung tends to emphasize producing or converting usable energy. In many contexts, both words are possible; the perspective determines the choice.
Die Energiegewinnung aus Sonnenlicht erfolgt auf dem Dach des Hauses.
Energy generation from sunlight takes place on the roof of the house.
Die Energieerzeugung aus Sonnenlicht erfolgt auf dem Dach des Hauses.
Energy generation from sunlight takes place on the roof of the house.
