BY KABELO sustainable energy for the benefit of humanity and the environment.
WHAT IS IT? • Geothermal energy is naturally generated in the earth's core (which is hotter than the surface of the sun) and presents itself as a clean, renewable and domestic source of energy, as it can never be shipped overseas.
THE USA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA :2004
The heat map for the previous diagram. • 2004 Surface Heat Flow Map: Heat flow is determined by multiplying the well temperature gradient times the thermal conductivity.
HOW IS IT USED? • This pie chart shows the amount of geothermal energy provided. Which adds up to almost half of the energy used in an average home.
$ COST $ • COST FOR INSTOLATION. • COST FOR MANTAINENCE. $O.60 PER KILO WART
EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT • EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT ARE VERY HARSH MEANING THE FACTORIES OR HOUSES ECXEED AS MUCH CARBON!!
Effects on the environment! • Geothermal fluids contain elevated levels of arsenic, mercury, lithium and boron because of the underground contact between hot fluids and rocks Damage to natural geothermal features Natural features such as hot springs, mud pools, sinter terraces, geysers, fumaroles (steam vents) and steaming ground can be easily, and irreparably, damaged by geothermal development.
World usage The following pie chart shows the world usage of geothermal energy.
