Geothermal energy is one of the most promising and practical renewable energy sources of our time, offering constant, uninterrupted, low-cost, and highly efficient power. Unlike solar and wind, which depend on weather conditions, geothermal energy is produced from heat stored in the Earth's core.
However, despite its massive potential, geothermal power lacks innovation and funding, making startups developing next-gen geothermal technologies suffer from challenges such as:
High Initial Costs: Setting up geothermal extraction plants, drilling and infrastructure setup may involve substantial upfront costs.
Technological Barriers: Work needs to be done on creating more advanced and efficient drilling techniques and energy extraction methods.
Limited Investment: Most investors favour alternatives such as solar and wind over geothermal projects, which are generally considered high-risk.
