17. A combined energy production and carbon dioxide mineralization installation, comprising:
a recovery unit configured to recover heat power from a geothermal fluid emitted at a hydrothermal active site at the bottom of a body of water;
a conversion unit configured to convert the recovered heat power into electricity in the body of water or at the surface of the body of water;
at least an equipment powered with the electricity obtained from the conversion unit; and
an injection unit configured to simultaneously inject a carbon dioxide containing stream in a ground formation at a carbon dioxide injection site next to the hydrothermal active site to carry out a carbonation of the carbon dioxide in the ground formation, wherein the carbonation of the carbon dioxide produces a solid attached to the ground formation.
