The internal heat of the planet Earth represents an inexhaustible
reservoir of thermal energy known as Geothermal Energy. The 2nd
edition of the book covers the geologic and technical aspects of
developing all forms of currently available systems using this
"renewable" green energy. The book presents the distribution and
transport of thermal energy in the Earth. Geothermal Energy is a
base load energy available at all times independent of climate and
weather. The text treats the efficiency of diverse shallow near
surface installations and deep geothermal systems including
hydrothermal and petrothermal techniques and power plants in
volcanic high-enthalpy fields. The book also discusses
environmental aspects of utilizing different forms of geothermal
energy, including induced seismicity, noise pollution and gas
release to the atmosphere. Chapters on hydraulic well tests,
chemistry of deep hot water, scale formation and corrosion,
development of geothermal probes, well drilling techniques and
geophysical exploration complete the text. This book, for the first
time, covers the full range of utilization of Geothermal Energy.
