Hydrothermal Resources

Hydrothermal resources refer to the naturally occurring hot water and steam found beneath the Earth's surface, usually in volcanic regions. These resources can be harnessed for energy, primarily through geothermal power plants, which convert the heat into electricity. The hot water can also be used for direct heating applications, like warming buildings or growing plants in greenhouses. Utilizing hydrothermal energy is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, as it produces low greenhouse gas emissions and taps into the Earth's internal heat, which is continuously replenished.
