| description | Increasing demand of energy leads India to switch from fossil fuel to renewable energy sources. Geothermal energy is one such source of energy which is getting explored with time. Literature survey show that geothermal energy is nascent stage in India. Exploration of geothermal survey started long back but exploitation of the same is limited. However, with at the preliminary stage Geological Survey of India has found around 340 hot springs across India. These hot springs are categorised into five major classes based on their tectonic features. This paper reviews a complete review of the works carried out in India for geothermal energy by various organizations. It highlights the different geothermal potential zones in India. It also talks about the temperature conditions of these potential zones along with geochemistry. The government organisation like GSI, NGRI and MNRE are the leading bodies for exploration and exploitation of geothermal in India. The aim of this paper is to promote geothermal energy in India for societal benefits. The paper discusses about the local development and use of geothermal water in various regions of India. It also narrates that how the geothermal water can be used for balneology, power generation, space cooling and heating, crop drying, honey processing etc. for societal development. |
