Geothermal power plants 2024

An astronaut from Russia took a photo of the eye of the Sahara from space in 2024, He was able to take unique shots of the desert Roscosmos has published 3 photos in its telegram channel The diameter of the eye is about 50 km and it has been removed from Earth’s orbit many times! The crater - eye of the Sahara is located in Mauritania, but it has an earthly origin Scientists have put forward a version: tectonic rocks once squeezed magma onto the surface, forming a dome and then it transformed into rings At the same time tectonic tremors sank part of the land elsewhere These tremors were caused by the separation of the supercontinent Pangaea, but the magma became rings after solidification and geothermal changes: the release of terrestrial heat Geothermal energy Geothermal energy is obtained from the earth and processed It is radiated by magma located under the earth’s crust, consisting of rocks and waters Near the earth’s surface, geothermal energy has a low temperature Disadvantages of using geothermal energy 1 Water consumption Geothermal power plants consume a lot of water 2 They emit into the atmosphere : hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, methane and boron 3 They leave empty pockets in places of energy extraction – subsidence of the environment and buildings on the earth’s surfaces 4 ESG hydraulic fracturing can cause earthquakes and causes gas and liquid leaks into the soil, groundwater and air Advantages of using 1 Small carbon emissions: 8 times less emissions from a coal-fired power plant 2 They reduce dependence on other energy sources Reduce the need for propane, natural gas and oil 3 They reduce carbon emissions And they are very energy efficient!
