Abstract
Geothermal energy, derived from the Earth's
internal heat, represents a sustainable and low-emission energy source with the
potential to meet both electricity and heat demands. This paper evaluates the
principles of geothermal energy extraction, plant technologies, and their role
in promoting environmental sustainability. Geothermal systems, including dry
steam, flash steam, and binary cycle plants, offer base-load electricity
generation with minimal greenhouse gas emissions. Despite high initial capital
costs, site-specific limitations, and technical challenges such as drilling and
fluid management, advances in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) and real-time
monitoring have improved resource accessibility and operational efficiency.
International collaboration, supportive policies, and fiscal incentives further
facilitate the deployment of geothermal energy, highlighting its importance in
achieving clean energy goals. Case studies from Iceland, the Philippines, and
Indonesia demonstrate successful integration of geothermal resources for
electricity, district heating, and industrial applications, emphasizing the
technology’s versatility and potential for future expansion.
