geothermal steam

Geothermal steam is water that has been heated deep underground by Earth's natural heat sources, turning into steam. This steam is trapped in underground reservoirs and can be harnessed to generate electricity. When tapped through wells, the high-pressure steam flows to the surface and drives turbines connected to power generators. This process provides a renewable and environmentally friendly energy source, as Earth's internal heat is vast and sustainable. Geothermal steam is a key component of geothermal energy, offering a reliable way to produce electricity with minimal greenhouse gas emissions.
