Abstract Geothermal energy, a sustainable and clean resource, has garnered significant global attention as an alternative to conventional energy sources. Its importance is particularly pronounced in the Middle East, a region traditionally reliant on fossil fuels. This study focuses on Yemen, a nation with untapped geothermal potential, largely due to its unique geological characteristics marked by tectonic boundaries and volcanic activity. This study assesses Yemen's geothermal resources, contrasting them with global practices to highlight the nation's potential. The aim is to shed light on Yemen's capacity to harness geothermal energy, contributing to both national energy sustainability and broader regional energy diversification. The study encapsulates the global significance of geothermal energy, highlights Yemen's unique potential, and outlines the study's purpose of placing Yemen's geothermal resources in a global perspective.
