Countries Using Geothermal Power in the World
Geothermal energy power is an energy which is generated from geothermal sources. There are so many technologies in usage which consist of plants of steam power in dry form, flash power plants using steam, and binary cycle energies generating Geothermal power. Geothermal energy power generation is presently in use in twenty-four countries. While the heating process via Geothermal is in use in approximately seventy countries. The IGA (International Geothermal Association) has mentioned that 10,715 megawatts (MW) of geothermal power in these twenty-four countries are working properly, which is predicted to produce 67,246 GWh of Electric Energy in 2010.
The Geothermal Power industry of the world is growing significantly this year. Although, in the United States, the globe’s biggest production of geothermal power, growth has bogged down. However, most of the improvements are occurring in Eastern African countries, Central America, and Asia, driven by economical development in creating markets and increasing energy requirements as those communities improve.
