Unit 3 - Key Area 3 (Energy)

A substance which speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up?

A type of energy production involving the splitting of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity and an electrolyser device?

The main process used for generating nuclear energy and involves splitting of atoms ti release energy which can then be harnessed

The process of injecting liquid at high pressure into subterranean rocks to force open existing fissures and extract oil or gas

Produce electricity through the reaction of a fuel with oxygen

The conversion of organic matter into gas, by reacting the material at high temperatures, without combustion, with a controlled amount of oxygen and/or steam

The type of power generally produced from reacting water with fossil fuels (methane)

The chemical decomposition of organic material through the application of heat in the absence of air and oxygen.

Type of gas that can be extracted from shale rock by fracking

A type of energy production involving the reaction of natural gas with steam in the presence of a catalyst to produce hydrogen and carbon
