Review: This book illustrates how geothermal energy can be a driving force for economically sound and sustainable development in developing countries. It examines the provision of geothermal energy within the framework of sustainable energy development in developing countries for power generation, rural electrification and it’s direct use in supporting small-scale industries, such as food processing, greenhouse cultivation and aquaculture. The authors give an overview of the world’s geothermal resources, their possible uses, suitable exploration techniques, and the best way to exploit the geothermal energy. They also discusses issues that need legal, institutional and political frameworks and that call for international support.
