When was Nesjavellir Geothermal Power Station created?
Nesjavellir Geothermal Power Station was created in 1990.
What is the relationship between geothermal power and geothermal energy?
geothermal energy is geothermal power harnessed from the Earth itself
How much energy does a geothermal power station create?
It doesn't create any energy because energy can't be created or destroyed!
Are solar energy transport and distributions costs high?
Once you convert the solar energy to electrical energy, it makes no difference where it came from. Distribution of such energy is exactly the same, whether it came from solar energy, a nuclear power station, a tidal power station, a geothermal power station, etc.
Why cannot all countries rely on geothermal energy?
countries cannot rely on geothermal energy because there are not many suitable places for building a geothermal energy station. This is because you need hot rocks of a certain type and depth. Also a geothermal power station must be built in volcanically active places such as Ireland and New Zealand.
What uses geo thermal power?
The ground beneath our feet contains a significant amount of energy in the form of heat. All of this geothermal energy has the potential to generate geothermal power to provide large amounts of electricity.People have used geothermal energy in the form of hot springs for centuries, however, the first attempt to generate electricity from this energy source did not occur until the 20th century.The production of electricity from geothermal energy sources can be a highly efficient method to generate a source of clean and renewable energy. Location is key for the development of an efficient geothermal power station, and therefore, significant levels of electricity can only be generated in certain areas.There are only a handful of locations across the world that are capable of producing viable and efficient levels of electricity from geothermal energy sources. As a result of this, in 2007, less than 1% of the worlds electricity supply was produced from geothermal sources.To harness geothermal energy and transform this into electricity, geothermal power stations are designed in a variety of ways.
How does geothermal energy get its power?
Geothermal energy gets its power by using heat from the Earth's interior.Most geothermal resources are in regions of active volcanism.
Energy from hot magma is called?
YES
What is the start up time for geothermal power station?
Geothermal power stations are built by digging into the Earth's crust and tapping into the direct heat that is never ending. It generally takes around nine months to start a geothermal power station.
What are some energy sources that offer alternatives to fossil fuels?
water power, geothermal energy, solar energy
Is geothermal energy more expensive than hydro power?
Yes, geothermal energy is more expensive than hydro power
What are some alternatives of using fossil fuels for energy?
Wind Energy,Hydro Power, Geothermal Energy, Solar Energy.
