Geothermal energy is a remarkable and sustainable renewable energy source that taps into the Earth's internal heat. This heat originates from the planet's formation and the decay of radioactive materials present in the crust. This geothermal resource offers a sustainable and reliable power solution by tapping into the immense reservoir of thermal energy beneath our feet. As of 2017, wind turbines, like the Braes of Doune wind farm near Stirling, Scotland, are now producing 539,000 megawatts of power around the world—22 times more than 16. . In the search for more, new and cleaner sources of energy, a largely untapped resource is emerging: natural hydrogen.
