CHEM*3360 Group 1

Sustainable and a nearly limitless source of energy

Clean + nearly emission-free (Only 122-400 kg of CO2 per megawatt-hour)

Does not need to use very much fresh water which could instead be used for drinking

Does not need very much space

With the amount of heat produced naturally, much more energy can be produced that that of oil and natural gas

Energy is produced constantly as the earth is naturally producing heat at all hours of the day

Many different uses that don’t just include heating and cooling of houses (e.g. heat in green houses, warming water for fish farms, used in industrial processes)

Not dependent on weather like other renewable energy systems

Can run 24 hours a day practically anywhere in the world
