Book Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) for Sustainable Development(Elsevier, 2025) Chandrasekharam, D.Enhanced Geothermal Systems for Sustainable Development presents EGS as an essential tool in securing abundant, clean, carbon-free energy to help meet growing global energy demands. This book lays a foundation with an overview of the thermal regime of the earth, addresses carbon dioxide sources, their effects on the climate and mitigation strategies using EGS, summarizes hydrothermal sources, EGS concepts, its historical background, EGS technology, economic and environmental considerations and culminates in global case studies. Authored by a recognized geothermal energy expert, Enhanced Geothermal Systems for Sustainable Development delivers a centralized text that emphasises fundamental principles, methodology, application, and economics of Enhanced Geothermal Systems, delivers a basic understanding of EGS concepts and applications in the lab and field, includes global case studies demonstrating the viability of geothermal energy, and supports sustainability. Packed with foundational and practical information on EGS, as well as case studies highlighting EGS applications worldwide, this book presents a much-needed overview for undergraduate and graduate students, energy industry professionals and researchers, and companies seeking a stake in the carbon-neutral business to reduce their carbon footprints. This essential volume covers EGS basics, technologies, applications, and benefits, along with case studies, examples, and economics. This accessible text on EGS is essential in the present context of global energy security - it paves a path to a carbon-free future that is within reach. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article The West Coast Geothermal Province: Insights from Geochemical and Geophysical Exploration for Green Hydrogen Development(Geological Society of India, 2025) Deshmukh, V.; Subba Rao, P.B.V.; Chandrasekharam, D.; Sathishkumar, S.; Srinivas, Y.; Chandrasekhar, V.The West Coast Geothermal Province (WCGP), located along India’s western margin, hosts 60 thermal springs with temperatures ranging from 33 to 70°C, classifying it as a low-enthalpy geothermal system. Geochemical analyses suggest that meteoric water percolates through granitic basement rocks, gaining heat from radioactive decay and geothermal gradients. Geophysical investigations have identified shallow geothermal reservoirs and fault/fracture zones that facilitate the upward movement of deep-seated hot water to the surface. Although traditionally overlooked for power generation, low-enthalpy geothermal systems are gaining attention due to technological advancements and the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions such as green hydrogen. Reservoirs with temperatures between 150 to 180°C have the potential to generate 3–5 MWe of off-grid electricity using thermoelectric generators, supporting applications like water desalination and hydrogen production. This study evaluates the potential of WCGP’s low-enthalpy geothermal resources for green hydrogen production, with a focus on both technical and economic aspects. Key technical parameters include reservoir temperature, power generation capacity, and system integration. Economic considerations encompass the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), capital expenditures (CAPEX), operational expenditures (OPEX), and hydrogen production costs. By comparing geothermal hydrogen production with other energy sources, this research assesses its viability and competitiveness within the broader renewable energy landscape. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Editorial
