Water is pumped from a energy plant into the earth trough pipes where it is heated by the heat of the earth. If the water is heated to the point of steam, it is forced up out of the earth and goes through a turbine. Thereafter, it is condensed back into liquid water in a condenser. This pressure differential between the high pressure steam and the low pressure in the condenser drives the turbine. If the water is merely heated up but not turned into steam, the water can be manually turned into steam on the surface at which point it goes through the same process.

What is the energy transfer for geothermal energy?

Geothermal energy is heat energy generated and stored in the Earth's crust. It is transferred to the surface through hot water or steam, which can be harnessed to generate electricity or for heating purposes. The energy transfer involves extracting the heat from the Earth's interior to the surface for practical use.


What layer of the earth does geothermal energy come from?

Geothermal energy comes from the Earth's mantle, which is located between the crust and the core. Heat from the Earth's interior is transferred to the surface through volcanic activity and geothermal reservoirs, which can be tapped for energy production.


How is geothermal energy transported to the customer?

Geothermal energy is typically transported to customers through a network of underground pipes that carry hot water or steam from the geothermal power plant to the end users. The heat is then transferred through heat exchangers to provide heating or hot water to buildings or used to generate electricity.
