    Geothermal energy is heat generated from the Earth's core. It can be extracted via dry steam, binary steam, or flash steam processes. Flash steam is the most efficient extraction method. Geothermal energy provides clean, non-polluting electricity 24/7 for decades. While only available in specific locations, it can be used for agriculture/aquaculture environmental control and infrastructure in Caribbean islands with geothermal potential through regional cooperation.

    WHAT IS GEOTHERMAL ENERGY?

    •GEOTHERMAL ENERGY IS HEAT ENERGY


    THAT IS GENERATED FROM THE EARTH'S
    CORE.
    MATERIALS NEEDED TO OBTAIN GEOTHERMAL
    ENERGY

    An underground
    hydrothermal Steam turbines A generator unit
    source
    1) DRY STEAM – RAW STEAM FROM AN
    UNDERGROUND SOURCE IS
    EXTRACTED.

    PROCESSES TO 2) BINARY STEAM – GEOTHERMAL


    OBTAIN FLUID AND A SECONDARY FLUID,
    GEOTHERMAL BRINE, PASS THROUGH A HEAT
    EXCHANGER TO PRODUCE STEAM.
    ENERGY
    3) FLASH STEAM – HOT WATER FROM AN
    UNDERGROUND RESERVOIR ENTERS
    THE PLANT TO AND THE STEAM IS
    EXTRACTED.

    EFFEICIENT PROCESS TO
    OBTAIN GEOTHERMAL

    THE
    DISADVANTAGES • IT IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE IN
    OF GEOTHERMAL SPECIFIC LOCATIONS RATHER

    APPLICATIONS OF
    GEOTHERMAL
    ENERGY IN THE
    CARIBBEAN

    A COLLECTIVE DEMONSTRATION
    OF UNDERSTANDING
    GENERAL APPLICATION OF GEOTHERMAL
    ENERGY

    •USE OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY IN AGRI-/AQUACULTURE


    •USE OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY AS A BASIS OF INFRASTRUCTURE (WITH AID
    FROM INTEGRATION/GLOBALIZATION)
    USE OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY IN
    AGRI-/AQUACULTURE

    GEOTHERMAL ENERGY CAN BE USED IN BOTH OF THESE INDUSTRIES AS A MEANS OF


    ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL TO CREATE THE IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR FISH AND CROPS
    TO THRIVE
    VSTEAM/HEAT FROM GEOTHERMAL APPLICATIONS CAN AID IN ADJUSTING THE MOISTURE
    LEVELS IN SOIL, AS WELL AS ITS PH LEVELS, AND LIKEWISE THE LATTER FOR WATER.
    VGEOTHERMAL ENERGY CAN BE USED TO CONTROL AN ENCLOSED GREENHOUSE
    ENVIRONMENT, ALLOWING FOR THE CULTIVATION OF CROPS SUCH A TOMATOES AND
    LEMONS.
    GEOTHERMAL ENERGY UTILIZES MARGINALLY LESS LAND SPACE AS OPPOSED OTHER
    RENEWABLE ENERGY APPLICATIONS IN AGRICULTURE
    USE OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY AS A BASIS OF
    INFRASTRUCTURE

    CURRENTLY, THERE ARE 8 ISLANDS IN THE CARIBBEAN, ST. KITTS AND NEVIS, MONTSERRAT,
    DOMINICA, MARTINIQUE, ST. LUCIA, ST. VINCENT AND GRENADA AND GUADELOUPE WHICH
    POSSESS THE POTENTIAL FOR HARNESSING GEOTHERMAL ENERGY.
    VGUADELOUPE IS THE ONLY COUNTRY WHICH HOSTS AN OPERATIONAL GEOTHERMAL PLANT
    VWITH THE AID OF CARICOM, I.E., THE BENEFIT OF FREE TRANSPORTATION OF CAPITAL AND OPEN
    TARIFFS FOR INTERREGIONAL IMPORTS AND EXPORTS, AS WELL AS LIKEWISE GOVERNMENT
    RELATIONS, THERE WOULD BE AN INTERREGIONAL DEPENDENCE ON THE POTENTIAL
    COUNTRIES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF GEOTHERMAL PLANT ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATIONS,
    AS IT WOULD BE MORE EFFICIENT AND LESS DIFFICULT TO DO THIS WHEN TREATING THESE
    COUNTRIES AS MEMBERS OF A SINGLE NATION.
    VGEOTHERMAL ELECTRICITY PLANTS CAN REPLACE THE NEED FOR FOSSIL FUELS ENTIRELY,
    WHICH CAN NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE MARKET FOR FOSSIL FUELS.
