The Geologists Association president advocates the use of geothermal energy by its high durability and low maintenance. Besides a remarkable performance.

The president of the Association of Geologists, Luis Eugenio Suarez said, during the annual dinner of this organization held yesterday, (more…)

Mieres campus yesterday welcomed the conclusion of the technical conference on geothermal energy as alternative renewable energy. Experts call for use the geotermiaEl event, which was attended by a large audience, was held at the hall and was attended by numerous experts. The presentation began with a presentation from the Director General of Mines and Energy, Isaac Pola. (more…)

According to the German standard VDI 4640 geothermal energy is stored energy as heat beneath the Earth’s solid surface, encompasses the heat stored in rocks, soils and groundwater.

The main sources of energy charge of the land are two: the first is the heat recovery of the Earth that can be assessed by the thermal gradient (variation of temperature versus depth), usually increase of 3.3 º C per 100 m depth. (more…)

Geothermal energy is energy created by the heat of the Earth. Under the Earth’s crust lies a layer of thick, hot rock with occasional pockets of water. This water sometimes seeps up to the surface in the form of hot springs. Even where the water does not travel naturally to the Earth’s surface, it is sometimes possible to reach it by drilling. This hot water can be used as a virtually free source of renewable energy, either directly as hot water, steam, or heat or as a means of generating power. Geothermal energy as renewable energy is nonpolluting, inexpensive, and in most cases the sources is renewable. (more…)
