| Larderello, a frazione of the comune of Pomarance in Italian Tuscany, is a volcanically active area, renowned for its geothermal productivity. Larderello now produces 10% of the world's entire supply of geothermal electricity, amounting to 4,800 GWh per year and powering about a million Italian households. Its geology makes it uniquely conducive to geothermal power production, with hot granite rocks lying unusually close to the surface, producing steam as hot as 220 ðC (396 ðF). |
