Answers
Answer: 1. A power plant is an industrial facility that generates electricity from primary energy. Most power plants use one or more generators that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy in order to supply power to the electrical grid for society's electrical needs.
2. Primary energy sources take many forms, including nuclear energy, fossil energy -- like oil, coal and natural gas -- and renewable sources like wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower.
3. Natural gas and electricity: a closer relationship than you might realise. Around 11% of Germany's electricity was generated in gas-fired power stations in 2012. This is more environmentally friendly than using coal, as natural gas emits much less CO2 because of the low carbon content in methane.
