Geothermal energy: challenges and opportunities in the context of climate change

Geothermal energy stands out in the current energy environment as a promising solution to climate change. This renewable energy source harnesses the Earth's internal heat and offers stable, low-carbon production that is key to a sustainable energy transition. However, significant technical, economic and environmental challenges prevent its implementation. This article examines the possibilities that geothermal energy offers and analyzes the obstacles that must be overcome to effectively integrate it into the fight against global warming. Through detailed analysis, we try to understand how to optimize this resource and what strategies to adopt to mitigate its problems, thereby contributing to a cleaner energy model.
