Agneyodgara - Lava Energy: Harnessing Earth's Geothermal Power

“Hot Springs are gift of GOD to people living in remote inaccessible regions. Their scientific utilisation for energy, industry, agriculture, heating, washing, bathing, medicine and promoting tourism holds the key for socio-economic upliftment and sustainable development “ Dr Ritesh Arya in World Energy Future Summit Abu Dhabi.

Placeholder image Agneyodgara, meaning "lava energy," is a pioneering concept introduced by Dr. Ritesh Arya, aiming to harness geothermal energy directly from Earth's subsurface i.e. LAVA HEAT at SHALLOW DEPTHS in a geologically favorable environment.

This innovative approach seeks to provide a sustainable and eco-friendly energy solution by tapping into the immense thermal energy stored beneath the Earth's crust.

Key Features

Sustainable Energy Source: Geothermal energy is a renewable resource, offering a consistent and reliable power supply with minimal environmental impact.
Innovative Technology: The Agneyodgara concept focuses on extracting energy from LAVA manifested at SHALLOW DEPTHS, presenting a novel method for geothermal energy utilization.
Global Recognition: This concept was recognized among the Top 10 innovations by The Guardian during the World Future Energy Summit 2010 in Abu Dhabi.
