Etymology

The term 'geoenergy' combines the Greek word 'geo', meaning 'earth', with the English word 'energy'. The concept of harnessing geothermal energy dates back thousands of years, with ancient civilizations using natural hot springs for bathing and heating. In the 19th century, geothermal energy began to be explored more systematically, especially in regions with significant volcanic activity. The first commercial use of geothermal energy for electricity generation occurred in Italy in 1904. Since then, advancements in technology have expanded the utilization of geoenergy for both electric power generation and direct use applications. Today, geoenergy represents an important component of the global push for renewable energy sources, highlighting its potential to provide a stable and sustainable energy solution.
