Summary
Geothermal energy is a clean, sustainable and renewable source of energy. It is one of the most attractive source of renewable energy due to its independence on weather conditions as the case for wind and solar energy sources, hence it is a continuous source of energy. Little research has been done on geothermal energy though this source of energy is abundant worldwide. Moreover, it has a wide range of applications such as electricity production, space cooling, district heating, drying, desalination, agriculture and aquaculture. This special issue will focus on the most recent technologies related to geothermal energy. Energy, exergy, economic and exergoenvironmental analysis (4E) of geothermal power and hybrid power plants will be presented. Thermodynamic analysis of geothermal heat pumps using different organic fluids will also be presented. The use of geothermal energy for cooling and heating purposes will be discussed. This special issue will cover the impacts of geothermal on environment as well as hydrochemical assessment of ground water quality.
This special issue will cover the following topics:
• Geothermal power plants
• Energy, exergy, economic and exergoenvironmental analysis
• Absorption chillers
• Heat pumps
• Ground water quality
• Hybrid power plants
• Desalination
• Hydrogen production
• Green houses
• Drying technology
