- Explainer: This is how geothermal energy works - The World Economic Forum
Geothermal energy is produced by accessing reservoirs of hot water found several miles below the Earth’s surface It is a renewable form of energy with some benefits over solar and wind, as it is not impacted by weather conditions, but the downsides include high costs and geographic restrictions
- Energy storage: Geothermal systems better than batteries? | World . . .
Electricity has been produced from geothermal sources for more than a century The first geothermal power plants came online at the beginning of the 20th century They use technology that drills underground and harnesses steam and hot water in the subsurface of the Earth This heat then powers turbines that produce electricity
- Which are the world’s biggest sources of renewable power?
The following chart shows the increase in renewables over the last 5 decades, with the category “other” incorporating the majority of renewables, including wind, solar and geothermal power However, as the chart also highlights, there has been around a five-fold increase in electricity generation over the same period, and the use of fossil
- Icelands Carbfix Project is turning carbon dioxide into rock
The team’s breakthrough, reported in the journal Science in 2016, led to the scaling up of the CarbFix project – fixing CO2 into rock, literally – at the Hellisheidi geothermal power station, about 30 kilometers from the the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik

- How rising global temperatures impact the tourism industry | World . . .
Tourism is crucial to many economies, but rising global temperatures are putting parts of the industry at risk
- The renewable energy transition is creating a green jobs boom
Solar photovoltaic (PV) has so far provided the biggest share of renewable energy jobs at 4 3 million, hydropower and biofuels with 2 4 million each, and wind power with 1 3 million Other sectors like geothermal, heat pumps and ocean energy make up the rest of the jobs growth
- Global Energy Transition Gains Ground, but Security and Capital . . .
The Fostering Effective Energy Transition 2025 report, developed in collaboration with Accenture, benchmarks the performance of energy systems of 118 countries across three performance dimensions – security, sustainability and equity – and five readiness factors: political commitment, finance and investment, innovation, infrastructure, and education and human capital
