Zusammenfassung:A method of and apparatus for producing electricity, hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, pure water using a geothermal heat are disclosed. A low voltage (such as less than 0.9V) is applied to a prepared solution containing hydrogen generating catalysts to generate hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen and oxygen are used to drive a gas turbine to generate electricity. The oxygen and hydrogen are combusted to generate heat and pure water. This process is advantageous in many aspects including desalinating salt/sea water using geothermal heat.
