Abstract

To mitigate the escalating adverse effects of anthropogenic activities—such as global climate change and ecosystem degradation—there is an urgent need to develop alternative energy sources that are clean, renewable, and efficient. These energy sources must be capable of replacing or significantly reducing our dependence on traditional fossil fuels, which are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. The Double Energy Input (DEI) system represents a novel technological advancement that integrates two renewable energy resources: hydroelectric power and geothermal energy. This innovative system leverages the thermal properties of geothermal heat to warm pressurized water, utilizing the sea as a natural coolant to enhance efficiency. In this design, a separate chamber operates a steam-powered turbine, effectively converting geothermal heat into mechanical and electrical energy. By harnessing two abundant natural forces—heat and pressure—this model offers a sustainable and efficient alternative for the production of clean energy. The synergy between these renewable resources provides a promising approach for addressing global energy demands while mitigating environmental impacts.
