A recent report has uncovered an infinite mine of electricity and energy under the sea. Electricity is necessary in almost all the daily activities we perform in our daily lives, which is why we have witnessed such striking projects as the photovoltaic tube that produces it with tap water. This dependence goes hand in hand with the need to move away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energies, a point on which progress is being made with the information provided below.
The diversification of electricity sources provides greater energy security. Depending on a single source of generation, as is the case with fossil fuels, there is a high risk of suffering interruptions in the electricity supply. On the contrary, the incorporation of new technologies and renewable energy sources makes it possible to diversify the energy mix and guarantee a more stable and reliable supply.
The search for new ways of producing electricity is determined by the quest to reduce the environmental impact, reducing dependence on fossil fuels. The incorporation of new technologies and renewable sources is vital to achieve an optimal energy transition.
Infinite electricity mine under the sea: the ‘greatest treasure in history
An unlimited and cheap source of hydrogen and electricity has been discovered on the seabed. The above report (from CGG) reveals the incredible potential for extracting offshore geothermal energy by harnessing the movement of undersea tectonic plates.
CGG is an expert consultant in renewable energy technology and the firm behind the research revealing the energy treasure found under the sea. According to their information, there is still a great untapped potential that promises to bring the world a cheaper and more accessible source of electricity.
Geothermal energy could become an inexhaustible and stable source of energy that radically lowers the price of electricity. Unlike other technologies such as nuclear fusion (also promising), geothermal energy is already in operation.
In contrast to solar and wind energy, its electricity is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition, the infrastructure costs are much lower.
However, geothermal prospecting to find optimal sites for the installation of a plant is expensive and does not always produce the expected results. This is why companies tend to install these plants in places with easy access to highly fractured and permeable hot rocks, which severely limits their deployment and prevents widespread extension.
This electricity mine under the sea has become the most sought-after energy treasure.
There are entities that have come up with new technologies to overcome this problem, technologies that are already injecting energy into the power grid. However, the CGG report says that extraction is simpler if it takes place at the bottom of the sea.
Specifically, the consultant mentions the installation of geothermal plants in places where seabed spreading is generated, a process that takes place where tectonic plants are constantly separating from each other. In this way, they produce new pieces of the earth’s crust.
CGG estimates that there are about 65,000 square kilometers of land where magma from these huge submarine rifts is very close to the surface. The consultant warns that in certain areas it will make more sense to take the fresh water from the steam passing through the turbines and electrolyze it to generate green hydrogen.
Different things can be exploited in this way. On the one hand, the fresh water that appears as a by-product and, on the other hand, the hydrogen as it is and the ammonia that can appear converted into hydrogen. In short, the consultant would have found an infinite energy mine under the sea.
