It is clean, free and green. In other words, it uses the heat from deep below the earth to generate electricity that has no carbon dioxide emissions, which are harmful to the earth and are causing global warming.

Geothermal energy, and green technologies like it, are important because they are low-risk, low-impact energy sources for us to use without polluting the environment. Geothermal Technology is better for the environment and your home. There are many advantages of Geothermal Technology. The underground loop carry warranties of 25 to 50 years! According to the U.S. Department of Energy, if just 100,000 homes converted to a geothermal heating and cooling system, carbon dioxide emissions could be reduced by 880 million pounds.

Why is the ring of fire important with reference to geothermal energy?

The Ring of Fire is important for geothermal energy because it is a region with high volcanic and tectonic activity, which results in the presence of geothermal reservoirs close to the Earth's surface. These reservoirs contain hot water or steam that can be harnessed to generate electricity in geothermal power plants. The Ring of Fire's geothermal potential makes it a prime location for developing renewable energy sources.


What is an important source of energy on Iceland?

No. Most of Iceland's electricity (75%) comes from hydro and 25% comes from geothermal. All its electricity is renewable. 87% of Iceland's hot water and heating is geothermal. Renewable energy sources meet 81% of Iceland's primary energy requirements for electricity, heat, and transportation. The remaining 19% is oil for transport.
