Muharrem Balat, who emphasized that such investments should be introduced to all young people, said that their aim is to increase the level of welfare with such investments made in the region, to support social balances and to contribute to the country’s economy, and that geothermal is not just about hot water, how electricity is produced, what reinjection means, the indispensability of a carbon dioxide facility and what can be done in an integrated manner, as in our technological greenhouse with Sultan geothermal resources, will benefit young people.
