geothermal well

A geothermal well is a hole drilled into the Earth's surface to access underground heat stored in rocks and water. This thermal energy can be used to generate electricity or provide direct heating. The well taps into hot water or steam from deep underground reservoirs; the steam or hot water is then channeled to surface facilities where its heat is converted into energy. Geothermal wells are a sustainable, reliable source of renewable energy, with minimal environmental impact, and are used in regions with significant underground heat resources.
