geothermal potential assessments

Geothermal potential assessments evaluate the ability of a specific area to generate energy from Earth's heat. This process involves analyzing subsurface temperature data, geological formations, and thermal conductivity to estimate the available thermal energy. The assessment identifies suitable locations for geothermal power plants, considering resource size, depth, and sustainability. Essentially, it helps determine whether harnessing Earth's natural heat is feasible and economical, guiding decisions on investments in renewable energy development.
