Why Choose this Training Course?
Geothermal energy presents a promising avenue for sustainable development, offering a renewable alternative amidst the escalating concerns of climate change and energy security. With worldwide geothermal capacity reaching approximately 15.4 gigawatts, the United States contributes nearly a quarter of this capacity, boasting over 3.7 gigawatts installed.
Geothermal power plants harness natural heat sources from beneath the Earth's surface, utilizing three primary methodologies: dry steam, flash steam, and binary cycle plants. These plants convert geothermal energy into electricity through various processes, including direct steam utilization and heat exchange mechanisms. Geothermal energy is cost-competitive with other renewables and provides baseload power, while also offering environmental benefits such as minimal greenhouse gas emissions and modest land use requirements. Moreover, geothermal energy has the potential to drive economic growth and job creation, particularly in regions abundant with geothermal resources.
The key highlights of this training course are:
- comprehensive understanding of geothermal energy principles, technologies, and applications
