2. Geothermal energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_energy

   Geothermal energy has been exploited as a source of heat and/or electric power for millennia. Geothermal heating, using water from hot springs, for example, has been used for bathing since Paleolithic times and for space heating since Roman times. Geothermal power (generation of electricity from geothermal energy), has been used since the 20th ...

6. Binary cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_cycle

   The geothermal reservoir's hot in-situ fluid (or geofluid) is produced to the surface via a wellbore, if necessary assisted by a pump. On the surface, the hot geofluid transfers some of its heat to the secondary cycle, via a heat exchanger, thus cooling in the process. The cold geofluid is then reinjected into the geothermal reservoir via a ...
