New Advances in Geothermal Technology

Course No. R-3008

Credit: 3 PDH

Course Fee: $86.85 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Jeffrey Havelin, P.E., BS CE

 

Overview

The geothermal energy potential beneath our feet is vast. This tremendous resource amounts to 50,000 times the energy of all oil and gas resources in the world, and geothermal energy is clean; it represents a promising solution for the nation and the world as we become ever more concerned about global warming, pollution, and rising fossil energy prices.

Increased development of geothermal energy gives people the potential to gain better control of their own local energy resources and use a secure, safe, domestic source of energy. Today’s U.S. geothermal industry is a $1.5-billion-per-year enterprise involving over 2800 megawatts (MW) of electricity generation, about 2000 MW of thermal energy in direct-use applications such as indoor heating, greenhouses, food drying, and aquaculture, and over 3,700 MW of thermal energy from geothermal heat pumps. The potential for growth is substantial.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of sixteen (16) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
