Which energy technology uses the Earth’s internal heat?
Correct answer Geothermal energy
Fact
Did you know?
Geothermal energy harnesses the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface to generate electricity and provide direct heating. This energy source, both powerful and stable, is available 24/7, unlike other more intermittent renewable sources like solar and wind. Geothermal energy has the potential to play a significant role in the energy transition, providing clean and reliable energy. However, its exploitation depends on the specific geology of regions, making it better suited to certain locations than others.
