    Geothermal energy is a renewable source of energy that can be harnessed from heat within the earth. There are several methods to extract geothermal energy, including low-temperature systems near the earth's surface, harnessing hot water and steam from volcanic areas, and enhanced geothermal systems that use drilling and fracturing to access heat underground. The Philippines is a major producer of geothermal energy due to its volcanic geography. While geothermal energy provides benefits, its use can also cause land to become saturated with salt and unsuitable for vegetation if not implemented carefully.

    Energy from volcanoes

    As human lives progress, the need for more sources of energy increases. Industries must be
    fueled to run and create the necessities of human beings. Numerous human activities
    involve the use of energy, such as transportation, communication, and other related fields.
    It is the energy coming from internal heat of the earth.
    Where do scientist access this kind of energy?
    Obviously, the place must be the channel of internal heat, can be derive from such heat flow.
    How is geothermal energy extracted from places with heat flow?

    There are many different ways to harness geothermal energy from these sources.
    1. Low-temperature geothermal energy is the most accessible, as it can be obtained readily.
    It can be taken from pocket of heat around 150 C(302 F) and are found just a few meter
    below the surface.
    2. Coproduced geothermal energy. It relies on other energy sources such as heated water
    that is byproduct of oil and gas well.
    3. Geothermal heat pumps or GHPs. GHPs are bored from 3 to 90 meters (10 to 300 feet)
    deep down into the ground. A pipe called the slinky loop is connected to GHP from
    continuous loop from under the ground to above the ground to provide heat for a building,
    a parking lot, or a landscape area.
    4. Dry steam power utilize natural underground sources of steam. The steam is piped directly
    to the power plant to fuel turbines that will generate electricity. It is considered as the
    oldest type of power plant that generate electricity by using geothermal energy. The first
    dry steam power plant was erected in Larderello, Italy in 1911.
    5. Flash-steam power plants. This use naturally occurring sources of underground hot water and
    steam water with temperature of 182 C (360 F) or higher is pumped into a low pressure area.
    Binary cycle power plants are also used to generate geothermal energy. They used special
    process to conserved water and generate heat.
    6. Enhanced geothermal system (EGS) which uses drilling, fracturing, and injection to provide
    the fluid and permeability in areas which have hot, but dry underground rock. The injection
    well may be as shallow as 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) or as deep as 4.5 kilometer (2.8 miles),
    depending on the rock type of the area.
    afterwards, water is pumped through the injection well, and it absorbs the heat of the rocks as it
    passes through the reservoir. The heated water, called brine, is sent back to the surface
    through a production well.
    In the cycle, there are no gaseous emissions apart from the water vapor of the evaporated liquid.
    One example are the underground wells in northern California, where the steam generates about
    half of the electricity consumed by san Fransisco. In other place, Some countries which have
    adapted geothermal energy are the Philippines, Italy, Iceland, Mexico, New Zealand, and
    Japan.
    The Philippines is one of the major geothermal energy-producing countries in the world
    today, ranking second to the united states. Geothermal energy is a long -lasting energy
    sources that our volcano-rich archipelago can harness. Some of these geothermal
    energy plants are located in Luzon, Negros, Leyte, and Mindanao.
    Although geothermal energy is a potent source of energy for industry and human
    consumption, there are problems that must be addressed in utilizing such kind of
    energy.
    When the surrounding land becomes saturated with salt, it becomes unsuitable for
    vegetation and eventually for wildlife. Potential problems can be minimized by choosing
    land that is not arable for agriculture and making geothermal plant designs that
    consume less space. These are already being implemented by operating geothermal
    plants in the country.
