Geothermal energy, the exploitation of heat from the earth, has immense potential as a natural energy source. Geothermal Energy: Utilization and technology gives a concise but complete description of geothermal phenomena and geothermal exploitation.

Expertise in the utilization and recovery of this renewable and sustainable, relatively cheap and environmentally friendly form of energy, has now reached an advanced stage. In this book, contributing authors each develop a specific area relating to the possible uses of geothermal energy, their effects on a community and the economic and regulatory aspects.

Geothermal Energy: Utilization and technology will appeal to undergraduate and post-graduate students in power engineering, mechanical engineering and physics who wish to further their knowledge in geothermal applications. Power engineers will also find the text an invaluable reference source.
