| Summary: | The use of natural resources in a more responsible and comprehensive manner has become more relevant in recent years. The energy crisis and climate change have targeted the development of technologies that allow the use of renewable energies with greater performance, efficiency, and results. Geothermal energy plays an important role since it is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year however, it represents a great challenge since its extraction is not a trivial fact, that is, every day it is necessary to further improve exploration techniques and exploitation to access increasingly deeper resources and greater energy potential. This section addresses the different applications that have been developed throughout the world and that serve as parameters and guides for their replication in Latin America, since due to its geothermal potential it has various opportunities to develop technology and agro-industrial production processes that are of Vital importance for human development in the coming decades. |
