Definitions
The definition of geothermal energy.
What is a naturally occuring source of heat energy that can be found under the Earth's crust.
Step 1.
What is identifying locations with geothermal potential? Locations with volcanic activity, hot springs, or fumaroles - emit steam and volcanic gases.
Not easily depleted.
What is renewable? The Earth's internal heat makes it a continuously renewable resource.
Expensive to start.
What is High initial investment costs? The initial setup of facilities is very expensive. Drilling is expensive people, and searching for the wells.
Dry steam plants.
What is taking the steam directly from geothermal resovoirs to use turn turbines that generate electricity?
Step 2.
What is drilling production wells into the Earth to access the geothermal resovoir?
Good for the Earth.
What is environmantally friendly? The production of geothermal energy does not harm the envirnment after the production plant is formed.
Contaminated water and water wastage.
What is water usage and water pollution?
Flash Steam Plants.
What is the use of high-pressure water that is extracted from geothermal resovoirs and then converted to steam to drive turbines?
Step 3.
What is using the hot water/steam to generate electricity by turning turbines?
Lower the light bill please.
What is Reduction on Energy Costs?
I am limited by the land.
What is Geographical limitations?
Binary Cycle Plants.
What is geothermal water that is used to heat a secondary liquid with a lower boiling point, which turns to vapour to drive turbines?
Step 4.
What is electrical distribution?
No outages for me.
What is Consistent supply of power?
Reinjection Well.
What is a well that returns cooled water to the resovoir, which maintains the sustainability of the resource?
Energy for me and the grandkids.
What is Future energy secuirity?
