Abstract |
|
Geothermal energy originate from the earth’s interior in the form or heat. Volcanoes, geysers, hot springs and boiling mud post are visible evidence of the great reservoirs of heat that lie beneath the earth. Although the amount of thermal energy within the earth is very large, useful geothermal energy is limited to certain sites as it is not feasible to access the extract heat from a very deep location. Where it is available near the surface and is relatively more concentrated, its extraction and use may be considered feasible and this sites are known as geothermal fields. According to US geological survey the entire heat content of earth crust up to a depth of 10 km above 15(degree Celsius) is defined as geothermal resource. This is a huge amount of energy, in up to supply our energy needs at current rates for 350000 years. And this is renewable resources. |
