What is geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is derived from thermal energy that is contained beneath the Earth’s crust. The geothermal energy captured through the water and steam carried to the Earth’s surface can be used to generated electricity or for heating and cooling. To produce electricity, wells are often drilled into underground reservoirs to access the steam or hot water that can then drive electricity generators.
