As of 2020, Geothermal Energy capacity has grown to 15,950 MWe, and 95,098 GWh of electricity produced in 29 countries. These power plants operate with an average capacity factor of 73%, many of them “on-line” over 95% of the time, providing almost continuous base-load power. (Source: Oregon Institute of Technology; John W. Lund; January 2022-SSRN Electronic Journal; DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4059005)  Geothermal Energy is virtually emission-free, renewable energy resource generated from geothermal natural underground reservoirs of hot water; miles beneath the earth surface, heated by Magma. The Steam and Brine produced from these underground reservoirs is used to run turbines to produce electricity. The slow decay of radioactive particles in the earth's core produces geothermal energy; a process that happens all the times; in all the rocks; across the Earth’s surface.

CPIS uses Thermal Infrared Remote Sensing Satellite Images; Real-time Data and Software to create Topographic Maps of the target lands. Imagery Data is then used to calculate the CPIS Charge Head of the Pump Station and the Pipe Pressure of the Water Transfer System (WTS) according to the Water Application Rate (WAR) of the Center Pivot or Lateral Move System. In order to distribute the precise quantity of Water, a system of sprinklers moves on wheeled towers in a circular pattern.

Industrial Market · Dry Steam Plants use steam directly from a geothermal reservoir to turn generator turbines. The first geothermal power plant was built in 1904 in Tuscany, Italy, where natural steam erupted from the earth. · Flash Steam Plants take high-pressure hot water from deep inside the earth and convert it to steam to drive generator turbines. When the steam cools, it condenses to water and is injected back into the ground to be used again. Most geothermal power plants are flash steam plants. · Binary Cycle Power Plants transfer the heat from geothermal hot water to another liquid. The heat causes the second liquid to turn to steam, which is used to drive a generator turbine. Commercial & Residential Markets Energy Efficient and Cost Effective According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Geothermal Heat Pumps are the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective systems for heating and cooling buildings. All types of buildings, including homes, office buildings, schools, and hospitals, can use geothermal heat pumps. Focused Markets Depending on its characteristics, Geothermal Energy can be utilized across Industrial; Commercial; and Residential sectors. Geothermal energy offers important benefits, including Grid Stability; Greater Diversity of Affordable Energy Options; Efficient Heating and Cooling; Key Technology and Workforce Pathways from oil and gas to renewable geothermal development; and Lower Carbon Emissions.  Geothermal Energy is Indigenous; Renewable; Affordable; Clean; Virtually Emission-free Constant; and Reliable Energy Resource. Geothermal Energy is heat derived within the sub-surface of the earth. Water and/or steam carry the geothermal energy to the Earth’s surface. The slow decay of radioactive particles in the earth's core produces geothermal energy; a process that happens all the times; in all the rocks; across the Earth’s surface.

public and privately leased and owned lands. The complex is comprised of six
power plants (84 MW) utilizing binary systems and both air & water cooling. (Commissioned
1992, last upgrade 2020). View the Steamboat Hills Economic Impact Report here (Source: https://www.ormat.com/)  Geothermal Technology The

U.S. DoE) While the amount of conventional hydrothermal power worldwide has reached nearly 12 gigawatts, more resources can be accessed through next-generation technologies i.e. Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). The first ever Commercial-Scale EGS was commissioned during April 2013, connecting tomorrow’s technology to the U.S. electrical grid today and setting the stage for future growth of geothermal power.
