Heat pump
A heat pump moves heat from one place to another for heating, cooling, or water heating. Because it transfers heat instead of making heat by combustion or resistance alone, it can deliver more heat energy than the electricity it uses.

Hydrogen fuel cell
A hydrogen fuel cell converts hydrogen and oxygen into electricity through electrochemical reactions. It produces water and heat at the point of use, making it useful for vehicles, backup power, spacecraft, and some industrial systems.
Wind turbine
A wind turbine converts the kinetic energy of moving air into electricity. Modern turbines use airfoil-shaped blades, a rotor, a nacelle, power electronics, and controls to harvest wind on land and offshore.
