WHAT IS GEOTHERMAL

Geothermal energyisthermal energygenerated and stored in the Earth. Thermal

energy is the energy that determines thetemperatureof matter. The Geothermal
energy of the Earth's crust originates from the original formation of the planet (20%)
and fromradioactive decayof minerals (80%).

Krakatoa, orKrakatau(Indonesian:Krakatau), is avolcanic islandsituated in the
Sunda Straitbetween the islands ofJavaandSumatrainIndonesia. The name is also
used for the surrounding island group and thevolcanoesas a whole. The Krakatoa
volcanoeserupted and explodedin 1883, causing massivetsunamisand killing at
least 36,417 people, while simultaneously destroying over two-thirds of Krakatoa
island. The explosion is considered to be the loudest sound ever heard in modern
history, with reports of it being heard up to 3,000 miles (4,800km) from its point of
origin. Theshock wavesfrom the explosion were recorded onbarographsaround the
globe.
Currently, what had been the northernmost of the three pre-1883 Krakatoa
volcanoes,Perboewatan, has re-emerged from the ocean, and is the principal force in
the on-going formation of a new island,Anak Krakatau, or "Child of Krakatoa.

Produces Electricity
Geothermal energy - Earth heat - can
be found anywhere in the world. But
the high-temperature energy that is
needed
to
drive
electric
generation stations is found in
relatively few places.

Geothermal Power Plant

GEOTHERMAL POWER IS CONSIDERED TO BE
SUSTAINABLE BECAUSE THE HEAT EXTRACTION
IS SMALL COMPARED WITH THE EARTH'S HEAT
CONTENT.[5] THE EMISSION INTENSITY OF
EXISTING GEOTHERMAL ELECTRIC PLANTS IS ON
AVERAGE 122 KG OF CO2 PER MEGAWATT-HOUR
(MWH) OF ELECTRICITY, ABOUT ONE-EIGHTH OF
A CONVENTIONAL COAL-FIRED PLANT

Geothermal Energy
in Indonesia
Geothermal power in Indonesiais an
increasingly
significant
source
of
renewable energy. As a result of
itsvolcanicgeology,Indonesiahas 40%
of the world's potentialgeothermal
resources,
estimated
at
[1]
28,000megawatts(MW).
Currently Indonesia is the world's third
largestgeothermal
electricityproducer
after
the
United Statesand
thePhilippines.
Installed production capacity (2011) is
almost 1,200MW from six geothermal
fields
inJava,
NorthSumatraand
NorthSulawesi.[2]In 2007, geothermal
energy represented 1.9% of the country's
total energy supply and 3.7% of its
electric power

Hot stuff:Indonesia is tied with Mexico for having the third

highest use of geothermal power. The Wayang Windu power
station is Indonesias biggest geothermal power producer, tapping
into naturally occurring underground pockets of steam and hot
water, with wells as deep as 3 kilometers.GEs recent loan from
its Energy Financial Servicesbusiness is helping the plant double
its output
