Geothermal energy: What is it, and how is it used globally? | World . . . Geothermal is a lesser-known type of renewable energy that uses heat from the Earth’s molten core to produce electricity While this unique feature gives it key benefits over solar and wind, it also suffers from high costs and geographic restrictions Because of this, few countries have managed to produce geothermal energy at scale
Microsoft’s new campus will run on geothermal energy - but what exactly . . . Microsoft is using the Earth’s geothermal energy to power its new sustainable campus in the US This will reduce Microsoft’s energy use by more than 50%, the company says Geothermal energy is natural heat stored below the surface that can be used for heating or cooling This type of electricity generation could meet 25% of Europe’s energy needs by 2030 But geothermal energy generation
Energy storage: Geothermal systems better than batteries? | World . . . Enhanced geothermal systems can tap into heat energy deep underground the Earth’s surface New research says they could also be better than existing technologies like batteries for storing excess renewable energy from wind and solar power Production of renewable energy is growing, but finding the best ways to store it will be critical to help the world decarbonize
Africas critical energy minerals as a catalyst for growth Africa's economic landscape has been significantly shaped by mining, which is a major component of African nations' GDP and trade While there are challenges, Africa's vast critical energy mineral reserves offer many opportunities in the global energy transition By strategically managing its resources of critical energy minerals, Africa can drive economic growth, create jobs and secure a
Which are the world’s biggest sources of renewable power? Hydro power remains the world’s primary, and most important, source of renewable energy, according to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) In 2012, hydroelectric power generation amounted to 3,646 billion kilowatt hours worldwide, while in 2013, it represented over 16% of the world’s total energy production – in contrast
How Paris Olympics 2024 could be the greenest-ever games | World . . . Paris 2024 says its Olympic Games will be the greenest in the event’s history Plans include powering the Athlete’s Village with geothermal and solar energy and doubling the amount of plant-based food served at the event Food and other green choices can make a difference when they’re adopted collectively by large numbers of people, the World Economic Forum says in its latest Global
Should geothermal be a part of South Africa’s energy mix? Geothermal is omitted from this mix Unlike many renewables, geothermal is stable and can be used as part of the baseload electricity supply It may also provide an effective long-term energy source with minimal waste How geothermal energy is harnessed Geothermal generates renewable energy from heat within the earth’s upper crust
The future of island power: Geothermal mega-drills and floating . . . Geothermal island power In the past, geothermal energy was an insignificant part of electricity generation This is in part because its power density is too diffuse, about only 0 1 W m2, and it is prohibitively expensive to harness diffuse energy sources
