Summary comparison of geothermal energy with solar energy and wind energy

Abstract

Geothermal energy, solar energy and energy obtained from wind are huge amounts of energy that are ecologically clean, sustainable and renewable, but they are untapped energy potential. The paper will compare several characteristics of the mentioned renewable energy sources, with an emphasis on geothermal energy, which is the least represented. Possible modeled capacities of renewable energy sources, plant efficiency, CO₂ emissions, sustainability ranking, ranking of renewable energy sources, evaluations and disadvantages of individual energy sources will be compared.
