Green Stack: Geothermal

To find the theoretical energy of geothermal power in the Netherlands we used the McKay book to approximate the value.

The population density of the Netherlands is approximately 400 people/km^2

This is about 10 times more than the world's populaion density according to Mckay.

The UK has a population density 5 times that of the world.

According to Mckay geothermal can offer, at most, 2 kWh/d per person

So, the Netherlands, being twice the population density of the UK, should only be able to supply

1 kWh/d per person
