Geothermal Energy: Tapping the Earth’s Heat

Introduction

Geothermal energy refers to the energy recovered from the heat of the deep layers of the earth, used to produce electrical energy. Geothermal energy makes it possible to transform the heat energy stored in rock formations into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy in a similar way to how wind turbine does with wind energy (Dickson & Fanelli, 2013).
