Description

Economies and energy-intensive technologies are expanding while populations are increasing (over 2 billion people still do not have electricity). This ensures a continued and growing demand for energy. The limitations, political instabilities, and environmental impacts of fossil fuel and nuclear resources has positioned alternative energy sources to play key roles in the future.

Geothermal energy is renewable, reliable, clean, flexible and domestic. The U.S. currently produces more geothermal Read More

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this course the student will:

  • Know the fundamental concepts of geothermal energy
  • Know the basics of geothermal direct use, heat pumps and power plants
  • Understand the advantages of geothermal energy
  • Understand some of the technical problems involved in using geothermal  energy
  • Understand how some former problems have been turned into profitable assets

There will be a multiple-choice quiz at the end of this course.

This course is a part of a series of RedVector courses on Earth Dynamics that includes:
