Electric energy from deep within the Earth

ArabiaWeather.com - Khitam Amer - Britain is currently conducting continuous studies and attempts to produce electrical energy from the thermal energy latent in the earth by digging wells at great depths of up to 3 kilometers or more, with the aim of reaching the highest latent temperatures inside the earth.

The working mechanism is to pump cold water into the drilled wells, and at the other end, hot water and its rising steam are received to be able to operate special turbines to generate electricity.

According to researchers in this field, they believe that the thermal energy emanating from the earth can serve as a sustainable source of electrical and thermal energy together at an environmental cost that is negligible, which is what the ancient Romans used for their daily purposes and uses.
