and global scale. Most alternative energy sources, includes geothermal energy, can be perceived as a much cleaner source of energy than conventional sources. The geothermal energy, natural heat contained in the earth's crust, is a renewable resource that can contribute significantly to the world's sustainable and diversified energy mix in the .
Geothermal energy is a type of renewable energy which is generated within the earth and can be used directly for heating or transformed into electricity. An advantage of geothermal energy over some other renewable energy sources is that it is available year-long (whereas solar and wind energy present higher variability and intermittence) and can

Geothermal energy is a constant and independent form of renewable energyand plays a key role towards the world's future energy balance. In particular, deep geothermal resources are largely available across continents and can help countries become less dependent on energy imports and build a broader base in their future energy mix.
model to investigate geothermal conditions through numerical analysis. The methodology was classified into six blocks (I-VI) with the activities carefully designed to establish the use of experimental and geothermal data to achieve stated objective. Using an experimental model to investigate the potential of using geothermal energy in
Why geothermal, in Turkey & for the EBRD? Global installed capacity is circa 12 GWe and expected to reach 19 GWe by 2016 Estimated global potential 70 GWe with present technology and up to 140 GWe through the use of enhanced geothermal systems(1) (1) Geothermal Energy:

that geothermal gradient in Niger Delta ranges from 1.3 to 4.7 C/100m and in Anambra Basin (directly to the north) it can reach 5.5 C/100m. Exploration for geothermal energy in northern Nigeria based on shallow water wells (down to 500 m deep) was carried out over 20 years ago. Research was concentrated mainly on geothermal conditions within
The Basics and Applications of Geothermal Energy . Introduction . The average household in the United States uses 56 percent of its energy consumption for heating and cooling, accounting for the single largest energy expense for homeowners. 1. Also, buildings in the US are responsible for a large share of the nation's energy consumption and
About Geothermal Energy T he geothermal energy potential beneath our feet is vast. This tremendous resource amounts to 50,000 times the energy of all oil and gas resources in the world. And geothermal energy is clean; it represents a promising solution for the nation and the world as we become ever more concerned
