geothermal exploration

Geothermal exploration involves researching underground heat sources to identify where Earth’s natural thermal energy can be efficiently harnessed for power or heating. It typically includes geological surveys, measuring temperature gradients, and geophysical techniques to locate hot rocks or fluid reservoirs beneath the surface. By understanding these underground conditions, companies can determine the best sites to develop geothermal energy projects—using the Earth's internal heat sustainably and reliably for electricity generation or direct heating applications.
