Overview

Geothermal energy harnesses the Earth's internal heat for various purposes, from electricity generation to direct heating. This renewable energy source is derived from hot water and steam reservoirs deep beneath the Earth's surface. By drilling wells into these reservoirs, we can extract the heat and convert it into usable energy. Geothermal power plants are typically located in areas with high underground temperatures, such as geologically active regions or near tectonic plate boundaries. Advantages of geothermal energy include its low carbon footprint and reliability as a baseload power source, unlike solar or wind. It operates consistently, providing a stable energy supply regardless of weather conditions. As technology advances and environmental concerns grow, geothermal energy holds promise as a sustainable component of the global energy mix. This book presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. The various concepts on geothermal energy along with technological progress that have future implications are glanced at in this book. For someone with an interest and eye for detail, this book covers the most significant topics in the field of renewable energies.
