Sun, wind, and water: these natural elements are becoming increasingly central in our energy mix and enablers of the green transition. This trio, especially the former two, is the most spoken of, but there is a fourth element, as sustainable and natural, which lies beneath our feet.
Alongside solar and wind energy, geothermal power is a renewable and clean energy source. Therefore, it can help phasing out fossil fuels and transition towards a greener socierty.
Geothermal energy is a renewable power source that harnesses the natural heat beneath the Earth’s surface. This heat can then be used for heating, cooling, and electricity generation – depending on the site’s potential energy and the geological features. In the case of geothermal heating, a fluid, such as water, collects the underground heat through a loop of pipes. When generating electricity, vapor makes turbines turn, producing power.
