Abstract

The need to generate renewable energy has increased exponentially due to the negative environmental impact of fossil sources. The creation of an energy matrix from the combination of geothermal energy and hydrocarbons represents a competitive advantage today. For this reason, the creation of a sustainable environment that implies the use of energy sources with greater caution is carried out. For this, two solutions are evaluated aimed at the implementation of natural resources as raw materials to obtain clean sources and the efficient increase of technologies for the development of environmentally sustainable projects. Geothermal energy represents a potential solution for the energy transition of society when it is implemented to satisfy daily needs such as: electricity, heating and cooling. One of the alternatives for obtaining geothermal energy is the use of oil wells to alleviate the energy problem caused by fossil sources, bringing with it savings in drilling costs and excessive pollution control caused by the petrochemical industry. Therefore, this review document was executed general description of the different clean technologies for obtaining energy through oil wells and also provide an approach for the implementation of sustainable strategies in renewable energies for the development and economic and environmental growth of the sector.
