TOKYO -- China and India could become market leaders in geothermal energy, as emerging technology offers an exit from their dependence on coal power, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in a new report published Friday.
Renewable geothermal power, which taps underground hot-water reservoirs, met just 0.3% of global electricity demand last year as its use was limited to countries with easily accessible and high-quality natural resources, including the U.S., Indonesia and the Philippines.
