Geothermal Energy: An Effective Resource Toward Sustainability

Abstract

Recently, the world’s biggest issue is climate change due to the greenhouse gas emissions of several conventional technological applications and exhaustion of fossil fuels. Thus, the importance has been given on the research of renewable energy. Geothermal energy is a such renewable energy source of the earth. Geothermal energy is the infinite source of energy, maintained to the nearly invariable level of temperature into the earth at a certain depth, almost throughout the year. This concept is being used as a sink for the geothermal heat pump coupled with a geothermal heat exchanger. This research paper assesses the recent projects and the advancement of the geothermal heat pump using for cooling and heating purposes or other business purposes in India. By using geothermal energy, power consumption can be reduced up to 50–60%.
