Geothermal

Geothermal energy is the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface, offering a renewable source of power. The Earth's core is much hotter than its surface, causing a constant flow of heat from the center to the outer layers of the planet.

Geothermal energy is extracted through specialized power plants, which access hot water or steam from underground reservoirs via drilling. This heat is then used to power turbines, generating electricity.

Geothermal energy provides a renewable, reliable, and sustainable power source with minimal emissions. Its versatility enables both electricity generation and direct-use applications, such as heating and agriculture.

The high upfront costs of exploration and drilling pose challenges for geothermal energy development. There are limited suitable locations where geothermal energy is accessible.
