Ans: (c)

Explanation:

• Geothermal power systems can be classified into three main types: dry steam power systems, which use steam directly from geothermal reservoirs to drive turbines; flash steam power systems, which use hot water from geothermal reservoirs to create steam that drives turbines; and binary cycle power systems, which use the heat from geothermal water to vaporize a working fluid that is then used to drive turbines.
• Binary cycle geothermal power systems have the main advantage of being able to generate power at lower temperatures compared to other types of geothermal power systems. This is because they use a secondary fluid, such as isobutane, that has a lower boiling point than water, which allows the system to extract heat from geothermal fluids at temperatures as low as 57°C (135°F). This means that binary cycle power systems can be used in more places than other types of geothermal power systems.

Ans: (d)

Explanation:

• Unlike CNG, using methanol as a transportation fuel would require minimal alteration in the vehicles. Methanol is a clean-burning fuel that produces fewer smog causing emissions — such as sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter — and can improve air quality and related human health issues. Methanol is most commonly produced on a commercial scale from natural gas. It can also be produced from renewable sources such as biomass and recycled carbon dioxide.
• As a high-octane vehicle fuel, methanol offers excellent acceleration and power. It also improves vehicle efficiency.
