【 摘 要 】

Geothermal energy is an enormous in extent, obviously renewable and truly green, sustainable resource of heat energy stored in the earth's core and manifested as volcanoes, hot springs, fumaroles, steaming ground and geysers. Nearly 340 thermal springs are known to pre-exist throughout India, mostly in Himalayan province and some are in Peninsular (non-orogenic) provinces. If the geothermal energy potential is properly developed, then India may have surplus to the requirements of total annual electrical power demand. Potential sites for developing hot dry rock projects in the orogenic provinces and in central India and food processing industries in North India may bring up India a global player using geothermal source in the near future. This paper briefly exemplifies the challenges and potential benefits are those leading in India towards the exercise of Geothermal resources.
