Geothermal energy is the perfect energy source for economic efficiency, security and security of supply.

Energy sources for power generation must satisfy the following aspects

(1) Stable supply.

(2) Economic efficiency

(3) Environmental compatibility.

(4) Safety.

(5) Security.

It is necessary to select the most appropriate energy source and combination of energy sources while maintaining a balance between these aspects.

At present, renewable energies are expensive in Japan, and the amount of electricity generated is unstable and difficult to control.

For Japan, which lacks energy resources with a stable supply, geothermal energy is the only "sleeping infinite energy source".

An imbalance between supply and demand in the electricity supply can lead to blackouts.

In the case of solar, wind and other renewable energy sources, where the amount of electricity generated depends on the weather, the only way to control the balance between supply and demand is to have a separate "power source" (method of generation) that can generate electricity stably, and supplement the output of renewable energy sources to adjust the balance.

4. Geothermal power generation, which has far greater potential than coal-fired power generation, has a high degree of adjustability that allows the output to be controlled by varying the amount of fuel (coal) input.

It is a 100 GWh power source.

In the event that weather and other factors prevent the generation of electricity from renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power as planned, resulting in a shortage of supply and an imbalance between supply and demand, increasing the output of geothermal power, which is the next generation of power generation to replace coal-fired power generation, is the most promising method of adjusting the balance between supply and demand.

5. The more renewable energies are introduced, the more regulating power will be needed to cover their fluctuations and adjust the supply-demand balance.

Although technological innovation will allow storage batteries to be used as a regulator in the future, geothermal power will remain the single most important alternative to coal-fired and nuclear power for the stable supply of electricity in the future.

6. Geothermal power: the only renewable energy source that is not affected by weather conditions.

Crude oil and natural gas are strategic commodities, the supply of which is used as a political bargaining chip.

Coal- and natural gas-fired power generation emits too much CO2.

Wind and solar power can be crippled by natural disasters and bad weather.

Compared to the above methods, the geothermal power generation method being researched by the Artificial Evolution Research Institute (AERI https://www.aeri-japan.com/) has none of these problems. Here are some of the advantages

(1) 100% of the power generation resources can be supplied by the country itself without depending on other countries.

(2) It is the only best energy source in terms of "security".

(3) It can be supplied stably without being affected by climate change, abnormal weather and natural disasters.

The price of raw materials is basically "zero".

(5) It is far superior to coal-fired and natural gas-fired power generation. It has the potential to generate more than 100 GWh (gigawatts per hour) of electricity in a stable manner that is comparable to or even superior to nuclear power. It has the potential to generate more than 100 GWh (gigawatt hours) of electricity in a stable manner, rivaling or surpassing nuclear power.
