Geothermal resources
Geothermal resources refer to the heat stored beneath Earth's surface, originating from the planet’s formation and radioactive decay. These natural heat sources can be accessed by tapping into underground reservoirs of hot water or steam, which are used to produce electricity or provide direct heating. Geothermal energy is sustainable, reliable, and environmentally friendly, as it produces minimal greenhouse gases. It is commonly harnessed in areas with volcanic activity or faults where heat flows more readily. This renewable resource offers a steady energy supply, making it a valuable component of diversified, low-carbon energy strategies.
