How it's used
Technical terms like this are often borrowed directly from written Chinese in formal or academic contexts. While understood by all, native speakers rarely discuss such infrastructure in casual daily conversation unless they work in the energy sector or are discussing environmental policy. It is perfectly acceptable to use this term in a professional setting, but do not expect it to come up at the dinner table.
