Geothermal energy
Heat Energy Produced in the Earth's Core.
It is a Clean and Renewable Resource that
Can be Harnessed for Use as Heat through
Pumps or Electricity through Power Plants.
HEAT ORIGIN Continuous Natural Decay of Radioactive
Materials in the Earth’s Core.
Volcanoes, Geysers, Hot Springs, Steam Vents,
and Mud Pots.
examples
Buildings, Greenhouses, Food Sterilization,
and Electric Power Generation.
Applications
Dry Steam, Flash Steam, and Binary Cycle.
plant types

KEY HIGHLIGHTS
GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
FOEI.ORG
Yellowstone National Park (USA)
Uses Geothermal Energy Underground
To Provide Heating, Cooling & Hot Water for Buildings.
A Common Type of Geothermal Power
Plant. It Uses High Temperature & High
Pressure Fluid to Rapidly Transform into
Steam that is Used to Generate Electricity
through a Change in Pressure.
ECONOMY
Revenue from Electricity
Generation. Creation of New
Jobs. Economic Growth.
SOCIAL
Low-Cost Electricity Improves
Livelihood and Quality of Life.
Clean Energy Use Improves
Health and Well Being.
ENVIRONMENT
By Replacing Fossil Fuel
Geothermal Energy Mitigates
300 Million Tons of Global
Carbon Emissions Annually.

Geothermal energy GENERATION
In 2016, Specifications for Applying United
Nations Framework Classification (UNFC)
for Resources to Geothermal Energy were
Developed by the UNECE Expert Group
under a MoU between UNECE and the
International Geothermal Association
(IGA). Geothermal Energy Development
and Utilization Directly Supports SDG7.
