From the 70’s last century, the research and development of geothermal in the world has been greatly advanced, and the Chinese geologists have finished the fundmental work for geothermal prospecting. The application technology is much behind in china. With the fast growing of national economy, the public, as well as the government recognizes the importance of clean and renewable energy, large scale development of geothermal energy is on the gate in China. This paper gives an outline of the geothermal potentials in china, and points out the problems and technical needs in the research and development in the near future.展开更多

Devel- opment and exploration of geothermal energy in China are below expectations. The purpose of this study is to comparatively review the characteristics （geology, hydrogeology, hydrochemistry and geo- physical data） of typical hydrothermal fields/areas and suggest development and utilization approaches in the future. Hydrothermal systems formed by mountain Hfting contain a considerable amount of en- ergy for geothermal power generation, especially in the Tibet Autonomous Region, Yunnan Province and Taiwan Island. However, geothermal water in the Tatun geothermal field has high TDS （total dis- solved solids）, an issue that requires more research to resolve this problem for power generation. The large storage of geothermal resources has been investigated in Meso-Cenozoic sedimentary basins; it is basically used for heating, bathing or greenhouse plantation. Moreover, hydrothermal resources of low-medium temperature can also be used in binary power plants. Although the enhanced geothermal systems （EGS） in China are promising, the resources have not yet been commercially exploited, because the emerging technologies （hydraulic fracturing） and concerns over environmental impacts （induced miero-seismicity） lead to slow development. On the contrary, shallow geothermal energy has been di- rectly utilized mainly for heating and cooling buildings. Cities like Beijing, Tianjin and Shenyang have established a series of ground-source heat-pump systems, which has led to a massive reduction of CO2 emission of 19.87×10^6 t.展开更多
