Abstract

Geothermal energy, derived from the Earth's heat, presents a viable and sustainable alternative to conventional fossil fuels for various applications. Geothermal utilization involves harnessing this natural heat for electricity generation, direct heating, and other industrial processes. This abstract provides an overview of geothermal utilization, focusing on its significance, methods, and applications. It explores the underlying principles of geothermal energy extraction, including the utilization of hydrothermal resources, enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), and direct-use technologies. The abstract also examines the environmental benefits, challenges, and future prospects of geothermal utilization in promoting energy sustainability and mitigating climate change. Through advancements in technology and increasing global awareness of renewable energy sources, geothermal utilization continues to emerge as a key contributor to the transition towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
