As most of the plants inject the steam and water used back into the earth, it helps in replenishing the reserves while reducing emissions. However, its flexibility for use in both residential and large-scale applications either through heat pumps or power plants, to leverage even the low-temperature reservoirs is a key factor that is driving the rising number of installations. Geothermal also has its own perceived challenges ongoing debate regarding its influence on geological changes such as ground surface stability and seismicity, etc., its location-specific nature, cost related to initial set up, etc. With operating costs as low as 1-2% of capital expenditure, geothermal has the potential to become a key energy source for a global transition toward a greener economy. One of the key advantages of using geothermal energy is that it does not have issues related to fluctuations of availability, storage, and transport.Īnother advantage is that it can be used in both small-and large-scale installations, making it a scalable solution depending on the location and availability of geothermal reserves. It is considered an infinitely available energy resource, as the primary energy source for geothermal power is heat generated from the Earth’s core. Like all renewable energy sources, geothermal energy also has its own pros and cons, which require careful evaluation to ensure that the energy source is optimally used for a clean energy transition. Geothermal energy is generating interest as it can provide clean heating, emission-free electricity, and can even be deployed for the co-generation of electricity & heat for the clean energy transition. It is one of the viable ways to harness the heat from the earth for residential or commercial purposes, be it from near surface or deep reservoirs. Geothermal energy, itself, is not a new concept, as it has been in use in specific geographical regions for heating purposes for decades. After a thorough investigation, a charge sheet was filed," the spokesperson said.Aarthi JanakiRaman and Shrinivas Tukdeo from TechVision, Frost & Sullivan, tell us what we need to know about geothermal energy and its role in the clean energy transitionĪs the world shifts towards the use of renewable energy, be it due to focusing on sustainability or geopolitical and economic factors, geothermal power is gaining focus among established renewable energy options, such as solar, wind and hydro. "The accused also used to threaten and blackmail the victim. He said it was further alleged that the accused used to take photos and videos of the sexually abusive activities.

It was found that she was sexually abused and harassed by the accused since the year 2019," the spokesperson said. During investigation, a minor victim was traced. "The CBI had also arrested the accused on Jand he was remanded to judicial custody by the competent court. "The CBI had registered a case against the said accused, resident of Madhvan, Lamahi, Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) on the allegations of collection/transmission/publishing of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), depicting children in a sexually explicit manner," a CBI spokesperson said in a statement.ĭuring the investigation, searches were conducted at Patel's residence which led to the recovery of electronic devices. In its charge sheet filed before a POCSO court in Varanasi, the Central Bureau of Investigation alleged that during searches, it recovered thousands of photos and videos of children from the accused, Ravi Kumar Patel. The CBI on Thursday filed a charge sheet against a man arrested for collection and transmission of child sexual abuse material on internet and social media, officials here said.
