Geothermal power plants transform the electricity, the heat energy derived from magma in any given region within the Earth’s crust, which can be formed deep in the Earth's crust.
The geothermal energy is enormous and lasts for several million years. It is termed as renewable energy as well. They can be viewed as a few of the mature energy technologies that produce paramount power without emitting greenhouse gases.
The geothermal power plants are built on the power of the steam. The steam from the hot spring turns into a turbine to power a generator. These modern geothermal power plants make steam deep underground. There is much emphasis on renewable energy in India, but geothermal energy still requires attention and initiatives focused on it with adequate development.
There are a few shortcomings to a geothermal energy power plant:
1. High cost: There is a huge requirement for expenditure on infrastructure to dig wells.
2. It requires a specific kind of underground heat, which is universally not available
3. Lack of attention: India’s renewable sector has shifted focus towards wind and solar energy.
There is huge potential for the geothermal power plant, which is a green and clean energy source. The ongoing research on renewable energy and emphasis on its potentialities are expanding.
