Description
About the Book
Geothermal energy harnesses the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface to generate electricity and heat buildings. This renewable energy source is derived from natural processes like radioactive decay and residual heat from the formation of the Earth. Geothermal power plants typically tap into hot water and steam reservoirs deep underground, using it to drive turbines that produce electricity. Direct-use applications, such as heating homes and spas, also utilize geothermal energy. With minimal greenhouse gas emissions and high efficiency rates, geothermal energy offers a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to geothermal energy. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. This book is a vital tool for all researching or studying renewable energy systems as it gives incredible insights into emerging trends and applications.Book Synopsis
