“…Another environmental impact could be the initial requirement of water at the start of the operation of large flash power plants, particularly in areas with water scarcity, as well as the noise pollution that could affect wildlife. [52][53][54][55] To mitigate and minimize those potential environmental impacts of geothermal power projects, best practices have been implemented in all the world such as the use of advanced technologies to minimize air pollution, the use of closed-loop cooling system, and the use of turbine and geothermal well silencers [52][53][54][55] to reduce noise to acceptable levels to not disturb wildlife.…”

Cameroon is a country in Central Africa that relies heavily on hydropower, fossil fuels, solar, and biomass for its energy needs. However, the unstable and intermittent nature of these energy sources makes them unreliable, and there is a pressing need for a more secure and sustainable energy supply. Geothermal energy, which is abundant in Cameroon due to its favorable geological characteristics, has not been fully explored as a potential energy source. This study is aimed at providing a comprehensive review of the current status and future prospects of geothermal energy in Cameroon, based on publications related to geothermal energy in Cameroon, geological, and geophysical studies. The objectives of this study are to analyze the existing literature on geothermal energy in Cameroon, to identify the challenges and opportunities associated with geothermal energy development, and to make recommendations for future research and policy decisions. The results indicate that geothermal energy in Cameroon is still in its infancy, with limited research and development in the field. However, the country has geothermal potential, particularly in the Adamawa and Cameroon volcanic line (CVL) areas. The review highlights the challenges and barriers to geothermal energy development in Cameroon, including limited financial resources, technical expertise, and regulatory frameworks. The findings of this study suggest that Cameroon has significant potential for geothermal energy development, and that further exploration and investment in this area could contribute significantly to a more secure and sustainable energy supply in the country.

“…The result of the study claimed that geothermal plants could alter vegetation and wildlife habitat because they can reduce species diversity and community position. Additionally, Ozcelik 44 underlined that geothermal wastewater generates great danger for agricultural areas around the geothermal plants because geothermal wastewater contains heavy metals, salinity, and boron. Janzen et al 45 conducted a study for biomonitoring an insect community in the tropical…”

This study aims to evaluate the significant risks in geothermal energy investments. For this purpose, a model is suggested by considering the Spherical fuzzy DEMATEL technique. With the help of the literature examination, eight important risks are identified for these projects. In the following step, their weights are calculated so that more significant risk issues can be understood.Another calculation is also performed by triangular fuzzy DEMATEL to check the consistency of the analysis results. The results of both Spherical and triangular fuzzy DEMATEL techniques are similar. The most essential risk issues are the same for both methods that demonstrate the validity of the findings.The results indicate that the risk of accidents because of incorrect designmaterial use has the greatest importance since it has the highest weight. Moreover, the risks of decreased water resources and pollution of them also play a significant role in this regard. Great attention should be paid to the quality of the material to be used in geothermal energy facilities. Otherwise, there is a risk of explosion and fire in the facility. These problems threaten the lives of many people. In this process, states also have very important duties. Some standards should be determined for the quality of the material used in these facilities. In addition, the compliance of the quality of these materials with the regulations should be checked with the routine inspections. This situation will minimize the risk of accidents due to using poor-quality materials.

“…The energy of geothermal can be controlled by the industries whereas wind and solar energy depend on the climate change aspect though these also are the reliable renewable energy sources. Global warming also can be controlled by the geothermal energy activities by reducing the emissions of pollutants [7]. Geothermal energy has been extracted from the hydrothermal, geo-pressurized, hot dry rock and magma which are the reliable sources of geothermal energy production in the global aspect.…”

The study has focused on the industrial pollution and implication of renewable energy to reduce it. Geothermal application has prior concern of the globalized industries to minimize the carbon emissions along with biomass energy production also accelerate the process to minimize the industrial pollution. Green building architecture practices also have been considered in the study to enhance the sustainability of the environment. Considering all the consequences of renewable energies are discussed over here to evaluate the impact of the renewable energies in reducing the industrial pollution. Advantage and disadvantage of renewable energies both have been discussed in the study. The study also focused on the waste management to enhance the quality of the environment. Discussion segment of the study has focused the interpretation of the data analysis findings that helps to meet the objectives of the study with justification. An overall study description has been stated in the conclusion segment of the study. Keyword : carbon emissions, pollution, Renewable energy
