Geothermal Energy
"Clean, Sustainable Energy for the benefit of Humanity and the Environment"
Geothermal energy - heat from the earth - is an important energy source having environmental and economic advantages over fossil and nuclear energy sources. Electricity generated from geothermal steam supplies power without polluting our atmosphere or water, or creating radioactive waste. Clean heat from geothermal water dries vegetables, heats greenhouses, and warms clusters of homes and buildings in district heating systems. Geothermal heat pumps provide highly efficient heating, cooling, and hot water for homes and schools.
Geothermal is online 97%; needs no back-up power, no submergence of land, no displacement of people and no deforestation. The energy is renewable and sustainable.
Only a small fraction of our available geothermal resources are being used today. Improvements in technology and widening recognition of geothermal energy's true value will lead to a greatly increased amount of this clean, reliable resource being developed in essentially all countries of the world. Geothermal energy is a vital part of a sustainable future.
