What it is? The Definition

• Geothermal energy is defined as heat from the Earth. It is a clean, renewable resource that provides energy around the world in a variety of applications and resources. thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth.

What it is? The Definition (Cont.)

Why to use?

• Now days we are living in an energy crisis period where the energy prices are getting higher each day.

• Fossil fuels account for 70% of all energy use globally.

• the prices of the fuel had been risen for more than 300% among the lost 3 years in Jordan.

Why to use (Cont.)The common heating system in Jordan

• the central heating system is the most popular, which include a boiler, pumps, pipes and radiators.

• The water temperature reaches an average of 50 ⁰C.

• The system efficiency does not exceed more than 25% (why)?

Why to use (Cont.)the common cooler systems in Jordan

• Split units are the most common• Efficiency of these units does not exceed 40%

Why to use (Cont.)

• Because of that; the geothermal energy is one of the best solutions.

Why to use (Cont.)

Why to use (Cont.)

• Geothermal heating and cooling system are at least 3 times more efficient than fossil fuel systems in energy consumption.

• 75% less energy than oil.• 48% less energy than natural gas.• 33% less energy than air source heat pumps and

central air conditioners.• What required just a little amount of power to

run the distribution fan, compressor.

Implementation

• Small amount of equipments required (Pipes, heat exchanger, pump, and fan).
