Steam Wells

Steam wells are structures drilled deep into Earth's crust to access underground reservoirs that contain heated water or steam. These wells tap into geothermal energy sources, where naturally hot water or steam is brought to the surface for electricity generation or direct heating applications. They are key components in geothermal power plants, enabling the conversion of Earth's internal heat into usable energy sustainably. By harnessing the natural heat stored beneath the surface, steam wells provide a renewable and environmentally friendly energy source, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
