3. Corrosion in the geothermal energy sector
Authors of the chapter: François Ropital, Steve Paterson, Damien Féron
Geothermal energy is a constant source of energy compared to solar and wind. It provides power generation, heating or cooling, from various resources: aquifer systems, high temperature hydrothermal and hot rock resources. Geothermal power plants are operating in 29 countries with a total installed power generation capacity of 15.4 GW at the year-end 2019. With ongoing development an additional 50 countries could see the addition of geothermal power generation to their energy mix. Globally, geothermal power generation capacity could reach 28.0 GW in the next 15–20 years
