title = "Update on the use of geothermal energy in Zimbabwe",
abstract = "Zimbabwe's geothermal resources are located in the Southern and Eastern parts of the country. Currently, Zimbabwe has very limited use of geothermal energy. This is due to the fact that the resources in Zimbabwe are of the low enthalpy type, with the highest recorded temperature being 90°C. The hot springs are currently used as a tourist attraction centre, mainly attracting locals. The attraction centre consists of a swimming pool with water at temperatures between 40°C and 50°C. This research paper explores the current use of geothermal energy and the ways of expanding the current use of geothermal energy in Zimbabwe. Direct use can be expanded in the following areas; aquaculture, balneotherapy, power generation and greenhouse farming.",
