Geothermal energy is unique because it can provide a consistent, always-available source of power. This book distinguishes itself by focusing on the geological aspects relevant to geothermal energy use. Geology determines (a) how geothermal resources are located, (b) the type of geothermal resource present (like hot water or steam), and (c) the most suitable way to develop that resource (such as using flash or binary power plants). By gathering and summarizing the geological factors of geothermal systems into one resource, this book addresses a significant gap in existing literature.
