Reducing the use of fossil fuels is an unavoidable imperative, as the effects of climate change also remind us every day.
Among renewable energy sources, solar and wind cover the main part, but there is one resource that has all the necessary characteristics to be a protagonist of this transition: geothermal energy exploits the heat naturally present in the Earth's interior, where the temperature increases by about 3 degrees with every 100 meters of depth, and has many advantages especially when the purposes are obtaining thermal energy and air conditioning.
This issue was recently discussed at a meeting, organized by the Centro Levi Cases - Università di Padova and the Department of Geosciences of the Università degli Studi di Padova, as part of the Festival of Sustainable Development 2024, organized by ASviS - Alleanza Italiana per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile.
During the seminar, Professor Antonio Galgaro explained why geothermal energy is particularly suitable for use in urban areas and focused on the University's contribution to achieving the Padua 2030 goals, which involve achieving sustainability goals.
