In a micro CHP a fuel source such as natural gas is used to generate electricity, and the excess heat from that operation is used to heat a home and in some cases water as well. The efficiency of converting fuel to useful energy may be as high as 90 percent.
Geothermal electricity is electricity generated by geothermal energy. Technologies in use include dry steam power stations, flash steam power stations and binary cycle power stations. Geothermal electricity generation is currently used in 24 countries, while geothermal heating is in use in 70 countries.eothermal power stations are similar to other steam turbine thermal power stations â heat from a fuel source (in geothermal's case, the earth's core) is used to heat water or another working fluid. The working fluid is then used to turn a turbine of a generator, thereby producing electricity.
