Energy is a main factor in developing nations. Energy is almost a must for surviving with dignity. Palestine situation is different from other countries which can import their energy needs from outside. Palestinians are facing a critical shortage in energy due to Israeli Occupation. They must depend on the naturally available energy to survive in dignity and develop their lives. In this paper, the scope of using geothermal energy in Palestine is taken into consideration, its availability and practical applications, as a source of renewable energy, which is identified by the reliability and sustainability. It has been found that the Palestinians should depend on their own free energy; geothermal energy has a notable role in reducing the residential energy consumption especially for the heating and cooling purposes. Geothermal energy could also be used to reduce the electrical bill that overloading the Palestinians shoulders by using low temperature geothermal water in generating electricity.

Experimental analysis of thermal properties of phase change material was conducted using DCS and TG apparatus. Moderate rang of temperature of phase change material was selected and experimentally investigated. Measurement of melting and solidification temperature at several heating rate are carried out. Furthermore, the stability and thermal decomposition of the selected phase change material are also investigated. Experiment demonstrates clearly the phase change material effect in melting and solidification. The lab test with DSC and TG proves that the catalogue data of the Plus ICE H190 PCM is reasonable to be used for thermal storage devices with great deal of consistency. In general, results showed that the utilization of phase change material in thermal storage is feasible to store and extract heat at constant temperature in the range between 170oC to 200oC which has many applications in engineering and industry.
