Far field
A region remote from a signal source.

Fault
In geology, a surface at which strata are no longer continuous, but displaced.

Fault reactivation
The tendency for a fault to become active, i.e. for movement to occur.

Fault slip
The extent to which a fault has slipped in past times.

FBC
Fluidized bed combustion: combustion in a fluidized bed (q.v.).

Feldspar
A group of alumino-silicate minerals that makes up much of the Earth’s crust.

Feedstock
The material that is fed to a process.

FGD
Flue gas desulphurization.

Fischer-Tropsch
A process that transforms a gas mixture of CO and H2 into liquid hydrocarbons and water.

Fixation
The immobilization of CO2 by its reaction with another material to produce a stable compound.

Fixed bed
A gas-solid contactor or reactor formed by a bed of stationary solid particles that allows the passage of gas between the particles.

Flood
The injection of a fluid into an underground reservoir.

Flue gas
Gases produced by combustion of a fuel that are normally emitted to the atmosphere.

Fluidized bed
A gas-solid contactor or reactor comprising a bed of fine solid particles suspended by passing a gas through the bed at sufficiently high velocity.

Folding
In geology, the bending of rock strata from the plane in which they were formed.

Formation
A body of rock of considerable extent with distinctive characteristics that allow geologists to map, describe and name it.

Formation water
Water that occurs naturally within the pores of rock formations.

Fouling
Deposition of a solid on the surface of heat or mass transfer equipment that has the effect of reducing the heat or mass transfer.

Fracture
Any break in rock along which no significant movement has occurred.

Fuel cell
Electrochemical device in which a fuel is oxidized in a controlled manner to produce an electric current and heat directly.

Fugitive emission
Any releases of gases or vapors from anthropogenic activities such as the processing or transportation of gas or petroleum.

FutureGen Project
U.S. Government initiative for a new power station with low CO2 emissions.
