Geo means EARTH

Therme means HEAT

Heat flows outward from earth's interior. The crust
insulates us from earth's interior heat. The mantle
is semi molten, the outer core is liquid and the
inner core is solid.
 What is Geothermal Engergy?
Geothermal energy is a technique of saving
energy and it is energy derived from the earth's
internal heat (underground).
 How Geothermal Energy used?
Geothermal energy is used to heat homes and to produce electricity.

Geothermal energy is heat sitting under the earth. We can get the

energy by pumping up hot ground water and putting it through a

special power plant where is uses the steam to spin turbines which

generates electricity.
Is geothermal a renewable

energy source?
Geothermal energy is renewable because its

source is natural heat generated and stored

deep within the Earth’s core.

The Earth’s core contains an incredibly vast

amount of thermal energy and some of this

energy is accessible near the crust.

 Cost- effective in the long run

Stable Pricing and Savings: Starting with geothermal may be

costly, but in the long run, it’s cheaper because it needs less

money to continue operating. Hence, in the long run you will

save and earn profits. Also, geothermal energy prices are less

volatile than those of fossil fuels.

 Environmentally friendly
Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions: A geothermal energy

system produces minimal emissions, compared to fossil fuel

burning, which releases carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and

other harmful substances into the atmosphere. Using

geothermal energy doesn’t harm the planet as much. It

reduces pollution and makes the planet healthier.

 Consistent energy supply
Reliable and Base-load Power: Sun or wind energy needs the

right weather. Geothermal power plants don’t depend on

sunlight, wind, or rain. Their energy output isn’t affected by time

and seasonal changes, or unpredictable weather. This energy

source is considered a base load power source, i.e. it provides

enough power consistently and reliably.

 What are the
advantages?
Geothermal energy can be

extracted without burning a fossil

fuel (coil oil and gas).

The technique of geothermal

energy produces little carbon

dioxide.

The carbon dioxide that it does

produce is one-sixth of what a

partially clean natural gas fueled

power plant would produce.

Geothermal energy is always

available.
 WHAT ARE THE
DISADVANTAGES?
• Geothermal energy releases
Hydrogen sulfide ( a gas that smells
like a rotten egg when a low
concentrations).
•The disposal of the geometral is poor.
• The geothermal heat pumps need a
lot of land for installation
• Some geothermal sites let out
poisonous gases, which can seep into
the earth from the holes drilled by
the constructors.
• The geothermal energy can not
easily transported. Because when
once the tapped energy is extracted,
it can only be used in the adjoining
areas.
