Geothermal energy offers carbon-free, continuous baseload power ideal for EV charging hubs, gigafactories, and industrial clusters. Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) and closed-loop designs expand potential beyond volcanic regions, though high capital costs, drilling risks, and permitting delays slow growth compared to wind and solar.

In this study we discuss geothermal energy as an unconventional source in the alternative fuel vehicle era.
