Saudi Arabia Vouches on Red Sea Geothermal Rich Area To Meet Its Energy Demands

Unlocking Geothermal Energy in Saudi Arabia: From Geology to Techno-Economic Analysis By:  Robert Buluma Saudi Arabia is poised to become a global leader in renewable energy, with geothermal energy emerging as a viable and sustainable option. While the Kingdom has long relied on fossil fuels, the nation's ambitious Vision 2030 plan highlights a shift towards clean energy, such as wind, solar, and now geothermal power. The Untapped Potential of Geothermal Energy in KSA Geologically, Saudi Arabia is endowed with significant geothermal energy resources, particularly along the Red Sea Rift Basin. This area is characterized by high heat flow from the Earth's depths, offering an ideal setting for geothermal energy development. These resources can provide sustainable baseload energy for various applications, including electricity generation, district heating and cooling, and water desalination—critical in a region where water scarcity is a pressing issue. By tapping into geothermal re...
