Global facts about renewable energy.
Geothermal is efficient.
- Geothermal is efficient. Because it transforms the source, the raw material, into energy over 95%.
Geothermal is minimalist.
- Geothermal is minimalist. It needs small area and land for industrial power plants.
Geothermal is environment friendly.
- Geothermal is environment friendly. Because, since no combustion technology is used in production, it emits almost zero emissions to the environment.
Geothermal is safe.
- Geothermal is safe. Because there is no risk of fire, explosion, poisoning for human being, animals and the environment.
Geothermal is environment friendly.
- Geothermal is environmentally friendly. Because it leaves no waste behind. It does not require industrial waste management.
Geothermal is renewable, sustainable and national.
- Geothermal is renewable, sustainable and national. Because it returns the water it uses to its source. it uses same source over and over again. It easy very easy to discover and reach.
Geothermal is stable.
- Geothermal is stable. Because it is not affected by meteorological conditions. Weather-related, external conditions such as wind, rain, sun.
Geothermal is comfortable.
- Geothermal is comfortable. It supports human life for heating, cooling, thermal tourism, health tourism, and for eclectic energy. It touches every aspect of human life, and raises the standard of living.
Geothermal is practical.
- Geothermal is practical. Source site is the production site. It eliminates the traffic created by vehicles that have to be used for transportation (diesel, wood coal). Therefor eliminates carbon emission by reducing vehicles.
Geothermal is peaceful.
- Geothermal is peaceful. Since it is a resource used on-site, there is no need for import and export. Therefore, it supports 100% to national economy.
Geothermal Energy
The term geothermal originates from the Greek words; Geo, which means earth and Thermal, which means heat. This derivation quickly points to the definition of geothermal energy, which is heat emanating from underneath the surface of the earth. The energy inside the earth was formed by the decay of minerals and forests several years ago. Traditionally, it was used for bathing and heating purposes but today it is also used for generating electricity.
It’s a renewable energy source, meaning it’s inexhaustible to humans. It’s also a green source of energy, meaning it does not emit greenhouse gasses that are hazardous to human and environmental health.
Geothermal energy dates far back in the ancient times where it was utilized for heating and bathing. Today, hot springs across the world are still being utilized for bathing.
Geothermal Energy & Future
The future of geothermal energy depends on three factors: it’s demand, supply and it’s competitiveness among other renewable resources in terms of cost, availability, reliability etc.. Demand for geothermal energy is going to increase and increase with the increase in the population and extinction of other non-renewable sources. Moreover, today government also support the resources which are cleaner and do not spoil the environment.
Supply of geothermal energy is limited and confined to certain areas only. The entire resource of geothermal energy is fairly bigger than that of coal, oil and gas. Geothermal energy can be made more widely available if the methods and technologies used to extract it are improved. Geothermal energy is still not explored fully. Several miles below the earth surface is hot, dry rock being heated by the molten magma directly below it.

Investment
Green energy is a hot topic in a world concerned about climate change. Power generation that doesn’t rely on the burning of fossil fuels to generate electricity for our homes or industries is creating a growing number of investment opportunities. Water, wind and solar are among the top sources of renewable energy.

BENEFITS OF USING GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
- First, it’s clean. Energy can be extracted without burning a fossil fuel such as coal, gas, or oil. Geothermal fields produce only about one-sixth of the carbon dioxide that a relatively clean natural-gas-fueled power plant produces, and very little if any, of the nitrous oxide or sulfur-bearing gases. Binary plants, which are closed cycle operations, release essentially no emissions.
- Geothermal energy is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Geothermal power plants have average availabilities of 90% or higher, compared to about 75% for coal plants.
- Geothermal power is homegrown, reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
Is Geothermal Energy harmful?
Geothermal energy has the smallest land footprint of any comparable energy source in the world. Direct use applications and geothermal heat pumps have almost no negative effects on the environment. In fact, they can have a positive effect by reducing the use of energy sources that may have negative effects on the environment.
Does generating electrical power from geothermal sources causes pollution?
Electrical power does not, by its nature, create pollution. Modern closed-loop geothermal power plants used to generate electrical power do not emit greenhouse gases. Additionally, they consume less water on average than most conventional power generation technologies.
Can we run out of geothermal energy?
It is a renewable energy and will never deplete. Abundant geothermal energy will be available for as long as the Earth exists. Worldwide energy consumption is currently around 15 terawatts, which is far from the total potential energy available from geothermal sources. Can be produced consistently, running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, regardless of weather conditions.
