This means a constant, round the clock, power generation at base load.* * According to studies of the German Aerospace Center Main Challenges Main Challenges of Geothermal Power Plants Geothermal energy is environment-friendly and inexhaustible. How can the costs be reduced over the entire life cycle of the plant? Geothermal energy is the only form of renewable energy that is capable of carrying a base load. But how can the production costs be reduced to a profitable level in the long term? The emission values of a geothermal power plant are minimal compared to the other energy forms. But how can relatively small plants be made economically usable for the professional energy market?

The total performance depends essentially installed worldwide. on the optimal interaction among the components of this highly complex system.
