Geothermal Fields of India

Abstract

There are several applications of geothermal water in form of direct and indirect form of utilization. This chapter talks about the applications which are going to be helpful in terms of societal benefits. Some popular societal benefits are Honey processing, milk pasteurization and greenhouse gas emissions. The designing and working principals of the societal benefits models are described in detail. A new Concept of Climate Battery: A ground to air heat transfer method has been introduced. The methods of societal benefits discussed in this chapter will not only help to understand the technology in detail, but it can also lead to several employment opportunities.
