That’s more or less the idea behind geothermal and solar-steam generators: bring water in contact with the hot part, converting it to steam, which kinetically moves a turbine, which produces power. However you generally need both this middle man and/or something that *isn’t* extremely hot to get any usable form of energy from it.
