Title: Geothermal Energy- Why should We Use Geothermal Energy


1
Geothermal Energy
Top 9 Reason
Why Should We Use Geothermal Energy

2
100 Renewable
Geothermal power is based on heat energy stored
underneath the ground. This intense heat is
trapped in enormous quantities inside water
reservoirs in the earths crust. In fact, it is
considered essentially limitless.
3
Clean-Burning and Low-Emission
Geothermal energy is considered clean because it
can be extracted and converted without burning
any fossil fuels. The emissions from a
geothermal plant are mainly benign water vapors.
4
High Energy Potential
Oil and other fossil fuels are just thatfinite
fossils that took a long time to form millions of
years ago. As a result, there is only so much
valuable oil we can extract from identified
reserves.
5
Scalable Production
Some level of geothermal energy is available in
most places. There is potential for geothermal
development throughout the United States, and the
process is highly scalable.
6
Base Load Stability
The base load forms the primary bulk of demand
for a grids electricity. A reliable and constant
supply of power is required to meet this demand.
7
Light on Carbon
A geothermal system is an excellent way to
substantially reduce a buildings carbon
footprint.While geothermal energy is not entirely
carbon-free, it releases a fraction as much co2
into the atmosphere as fossil fuels.
8
Low-Maintenance Versatility
Geothermal energy can replace both heating and
cooling systems in buildingsand do both jobs
more efficiently than conventional air-cooled
systems.
9
Smart Land Use
Geothermal energy has the smallest land footprint
of any major power source. It doesnt require
much additional real estatea boon in dense urban
zones.
10
Green Economy
The uncapped energy potential of hydrothermal
reservoirs means there will never be anything
like peak geothermal. This has serious
implications for job creation and the strength of
the green economy.
