Geothermal Energy and Sustainability: Contribution to Fighting Climate Change, CSR, New Scenarios and Maximization of Social Impacts
摘要
Geothermal energy, a clean energy source, faces technical and social hurdles. This chapter explores the multifaceted approach necessary to harness geothermal energy’s full potential for a clean and equitable future. Public trust, crucial for deep and shallow projects, requires clear communication and public engagement strategies. Moreover, combining geothermal with Carbon Capture and Storage offers climate benefits, but cost and acceptance are barriers. Artificial Intelligence can revolutionize exploration and operations. Finally, geothermal development must address gender inequality through inclusive projects and targeted programs. A multifaceted approach is essential for the sustainable geothermal energy of the future.
