Geothermal energy Part 2
The course will deal with the use of the geothermal energy in agriculture for heating the greenhouses, making so possible the out-of-season production of vegetables.
the use of Geothermal energy:
a) requires relatively simple heating installations,
b) is competitive for greenhouse heating in many situations,
c) has a strategic importance among the other energy sources that are locally available for food production, as Geothermal has a higher capacity factor (a measure of the amount of real time during
which a facility is used) than many other power sources,
d)is the most environmentally friendly and cost effectiveness resource.
Docenti: Fausto Batini
