(par 6.3.2.2. 2) Should SA tap geothermal energy
Should SA tap geothermal energy? https://www.techcentral.co.za/should-sa-tap-geothermal-energy/59737/ By TaufeeqDhansay, Added by The Conversation on 14 September 2015. Geothermal technology is expensive, but it should still be part of South Africa’s energy mix. South Africa, the leading carbon emitter in Africa, has geothermal resources that can be used to generate electricity and reduce its carbon emissions. But a recent study suggests that the potential […]
