Geothermal Energy as a Major Source of Renewable Energy - Learning from Asian Neighbours

Abstract

Energy is one of the fundamental necessities for economic growth, increased social equity, and an environment that allows livelihoods to thrive. Development is not possible without energy, and sustainable development is not possible without sustainable energy. Renewable Energy RE is a key to sustainable development and offers an opportunity to improve access to modern energy services for the impoverished segments of society, which is essential for sustainable community development. In "sia, Indonesia and the Philippines are rich in Geothermal GT energy. "eing a renewable, sustainable, and indigenous energy resource, GT is reliable because its supply is independent of season and global energy market dynamics. Japan has a huge potential for GT and wants to expand renewable energy resources after the Fukushima Nuclear Power "ccident. In the near future, GT is set to play a major role in national energy supply in Japan. Therefore, the objective of this study is to look at various challenges and opportunities in GT energy policies of Indonesia and the Philippines to adopt them to meet Japanese needs in the future.

Geothermal resources and local development in Poland

“…Despite the political advancements yet circa 1.3 billion people have very limited access or none to modern energy resources (IEA, 2019). Among the sustainable options, geothermal energy meets the conditions of the sustainable development, environmentally benevolence and a large scale energy provision (Avtar & Kumar, 2016;Fridleifsson et al, 2008). Geothermal power is highly scalable from a rural village to an entire city, (Lund & Boyd, 1999), making it a vital part of the renewable energy transition.…”
