Positive and Negative Impacts of Geothermal Energy
Advantages
Geothermal energy is considered as a sustainable and renewable energy source through reinjection method. It has significant advantages and disadvantages.
- It provides suitable conditions for thermal applications in the sector and is a clean energy source.
- It is a source that reduces external dependency on energy.
- It is lower cost than conventional energy sources and is ready to use.
- It is easy to establish production facilities in the region where the source is located and the need for facility space is low.
- Continuous energy production is possible regardless of weather conditions.
- There is no risk of explosion or fire.
- Greenhouse gas emissions of geothermal power plants are quite low.
Disadvantages
- The minerals contained in geothermal fluid can cause water and soil pollution.
- If appropriate precautions are not taken, it can cause environmental problems such as temperature changes and noise.
- If the chemical components contained in geothermal fluid are not managed properly, they can harm the environment.
- Geothermal energy is difficult to transport over long distances and can usually be transmitted up to a maximum of 100 km.
