| Abstract | Geothermal energy may play an important role energysupply for developing countries. In China. Yangbajing geothermal power plant with installed capacity of 25.8 MW supplies about 41% (more than 60% in the winter time) of needed electriricity to the Lhasa city. the capital of Xizang (Tibet) Autonomous Region. Low-medium temperature thermal water resources are quite I abundant in large sedimentary basins of eastern and central China and are being used for various non-electrical purpose. In this paper. the prospects and problems of development and utilization of geothermal energy in China are discussed and analyzed in detail by the author. |
