It has been announced by the Iceland Geothermal Conference (IGC) that the 2016 event will be focusing on the advantages of using geothermal energy and how this energy resource will benefit us.
-
The development of a renewable system for cooling Australia's largest supercomputer is a step closer, following the start of an innovative geothermal energy project in Perth.

The Japanese government is poised to increase the incentives available to a wide range of clean energy technologies through a revamp of the country's feed-in tariff scheme, which should come into effect from next year. According to Reuters' reports, a government advisory panel today approved a set of proposals that will significantly extend the current solar incentives regime to cover other forms of energy, including wind, small-size hydro, biomass and geothermal energy.

Being gifted with many active volcanoes, Central America wants to tap them for producing green energy which will cut its dependence on oil imports and also help reduce the CO2 emissions. Because the region is placed above shifting tectonic plates in the Pacific basin, it has great potential for geothermal power produced by heat stored deep in the Earth’s crust.

The sprawling archipelago of 17,000 islands stretching from the Indian to the Pacific Oceans contains hundreds of volcanoes, estimated to hold around 40 percent of the world's geothermal energy potential.

Thanks to waste heat recovery techniques, the efficiency of thermal energy at industrial production lines can now exceed 90 percent. The utilization of heat during the burning process also helps reduce the amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide), SO2 (sulfur dioxide) and other kinds of toxic gas that are produced by industrial production facilities by 50-80 percent. Waste heat recovery solutions are not only energy efficient and minimize the emissions of dangerous exhaust, but it also brings companies considerable economic benefits.

Năng lượng đã trở thành mối quan tâm hàng đầu của thế giới từ nhiều thập niên qua vì xăng dầu, than đá (sản phẩm của quá trình trầm tích hoá thạch thiên nhiên) đang rơi vào nguy cơ thiết hụt, không hứa hẹn một khả năng tái tạo có thể cung cấp đủ cho nhu cầu của cuộc sống. Ngoài ra, xăng dầu còn là nguyên nhân gây ra ô nhiễm môi trường trầm trọng, do các khí độc phát sinh từ quy trình đốt cháy xăng dầu trong động cơ nổ như NO, Nox, CO, CO2, Sox, NMHC (non methane hydrocarbon)... Vì vậy tìm nguồn "năng lượng mới - năng lượng tái tạo" là một vấn đề được đặt ra. Hiện nay cả thế giới đang tập trung vào việc đi tìm những nguồn năng lượng mới dễ tái tạo hơn, ít gây ô nhiễm môi trường hơn như thủy điện, rác (năng lượng sinh khối, biomass energy), gió, nhiệt địa cầu (geothermal energy), năng lượng mặt trời, pin nhiên liệu (fue cell)...
