| Abstract | Geothermal utilization as energy resource use has been for near 40 years in China. The used geothermal energy in whole country’s energy structure is less than 0.3%. Geothermal power generation and geothermal direct use were carried out in China. The professional expert’s crew and corresponding industrial base has founded. There are relative rich geothermal resources in China. Based on conventional geothermal development, GSHP has had rapid growth in recent years, and EGS has been studied also. It is expected that geothermal would make contribution to energy construction in China. At least we would prepare ready for certain energy reserves to our future children. |
