Abstract

Based on the geothermal resource conditions, the current situation of China's geothermal energy utilization in heating (cooling), power generation, hot spring bathing, high-end seed breeding, and hot dry rock exploration and development are explained. The development trend of geothermal energy in the fields of resource discovery, exploration, development and utilization technology, utilization scale, macro policies, and market participants are predicted in the context of the goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutral". Finally, suggestions on the management of China's geothermal industry is proposed.
