Raw Materials

Geothermal energy requires water from earth


5/18


6/18

Energy Generation

Dry Steam

It directs the steam through the turbines to

power it then it is condensed then its turned

back to water and released into the ground


7/18


8/18

Energy Generation

Flash Steam

It decreases the pressure of the hot waterconverting it into steam then the steam is used

to power up the turbines


9/18


10/18

Energy Generation

Binary Steam

Uses water to heat the liquids the fluid then vaporizes the steam which turns

the turbines, then finally condenses the liquid to begin the cycle again.

Economics

The cost of using geothermal energy isgenerally lower than using any otherconventional sorts of energy, saving 80% of

costs over fossil fuels and using no fuel togenerate the power. Because no fuel isrequired of the plant, the cost of transportingor cleaning the plant is lowered

capable of supplying 70 to 100% of thecommercial energy needed

Environmental Impact

Geothermal energy is more positive than fossil fuels

Doesnt have impact on the weather

effective way to harm energy from minimal impact with its surrounding

environments

Pollutes environment

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages it is renewable

its a clean source of energy

conducts a lot of energy

Disadvantages geothermal energy cant be used every where

it cost a lot of money to start up a geothermal plant
