Geothermal energy potential

Geothermal energy harnesses heat stored beneath Earth's surface to generate electricity or provide direct heating. This natural heat comes from the planet’s core, radioactive decay, and residual heat from Earth's formation. In areas with accessible hot rocks or steam pools, geothermal systems can produce reliable, sustainable power with a small land footprint and low emissions. While its potential varies globally, regions with active geothermal activity, like volcanic zones, offer the most significant opportunities. Overall, geothermal energy is a promising, steady source of renewable energy capable of reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
