What type of energy is generated by using the earth heat?
Geothermal energy - electricity.
What percentage of energy is produced by geothermal energy in the US?
According to US Energy Information Administration data for 2009, geothermal energy (based on electricity net generation kilowatthour billion figures) accounted for 3.58% of total renewable electricity generated in the USA in 2009 and just 0.38% of total electricity generated in 2009. All renewable sources (mostly sourced from hydroelectric, geothermal and wind) accounted for 10.7% of total electricity generated.
What Northern European country uses geothermal energy?
Iceland in 2010 generated 575 MW of electricity. This was 30% of its energy use.
How much energy is wasted using geothermal energy?
The method used to convert geothermal steam to electricity directly affects the amount of waste generated. So basically it depends on how much you use.
