With the industrial development, China will require 50 to 70 million tons of coal in Mid-21st century. If Previous HitenergyNext Hit-saving and environmental protection measures have not been taken yet, the resources will be in short supply, and the environment will be seriously deteriorating. It requires actively to develop low-carbon Previous HitenergyNext Hit, in which the Previous HitgeothermalNext Hit resources is available for development and utilization of Previous HitenergyNext Hit. The conventional Previous HitgeothermalNext Hit resource is rich in China. According to statistics, Previous HitgeothermalNext Hit Previous HitenergyNext Hit in depth of 2000 meters is equivalent to 250 billion tons of standard coal. At present,according tu the current condition the Development by the standard, the annual development and utilization of underground hot water is about 6.845 billion cubic meters, in which the total amount of heat Previous HitenergyNext Hit goes to 33 million tons of standard coal.

From the tectonic background, China is located in the southeastern part In geological formations, which is adjacent to the Eurasian plate in northwest and to the Pacific plate in east. The whole formation of Previous HitgeothermalNext Hit resources in China has been determined by it's unique tectonic position and modern plate movement, Previous HitgeothermalNext Hit resources in China can be divided into three types according to their properties: (1)High-temperature convective Previous HitgeothermalNext Hit resources (> 150 Celsius degree), these resources are mainly distributed in southwest China . (2) The mid- temperature (90-150 Celsius degree), low- temperature (<90 Celsius degree) convective Previous HitgeothermalNext Hit resources, mainly in southern China . (3) The mid and low-temperature conduction Previous HitgeothermalNext Hit resources, the distribution of such resources in northern China .

Different Previous HitgeothermalNext Hit resources with market demands adopt different development model. For the high-temperature Previous HitgeothermalNext Hit resources district, mainly in southwest China, it mainly used Previous HitgeothermalNext Hit power generation development model. For the mid and low-temperature Previous HitgeothermalNext Hit resources district in southern China , the weather is very hot in summer, and warm in winter, so the Previous HitgeothermalNext Hit water as a heat source drives the refrigerator for cooling in summer. The weather is cold in winter in Northern China, the main heating form is Previous HitgeothermalNext Hit water. Previous HitGeothermalNext Hit resource development should adopt different development models depending on the distribution of Previous HitgeothermalNext Hit resource and market demands, to achieve efficient utilization of Previous HitgeothermalNext Hit resources and the green low-carbon Previous HitenergyTop development strategy.
