What is Geothermal Energy
The increasing demand of producing sustainable energy in an effort to achieve a low carbon economy has led the globe to switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, hydrogen, biomass among many others.
Geothermal energy is the heat produced within the subsurface of earth. This energy is a clean, zero carbon and renewable resource that can be extracted and harnessed for use as heat and electricity for various commercial purposes. Some of the direct commercial applications of geothermal energy include space heating, fish farming, thermal spas and pools, food drying, milk pasteurizing and so forth.
India is the 3rd largest consumer of electricity and also the 3rd largest producer of renewable energy in the world. Despite being one of the first countries to begin geothermal exploration, the contribution of geothermal to the energy matrix of India is still very low due to lack of an operational geothermal plant as of yet.
Presently, with over 300 identified geothermal sites and a potential to produce an estimated 10,000 MW of power, India shows an immense prospective for geothermal to become a significant resource for renewable energy consumption in the upcoming years.
