2020 China geothermal energy development and utilization industry development

In recent years, China has strengthened the construction of the energy system, optimized the energy consumption structure, and increased the proportion of clean energy. As a clean renewable energy source, geothermal energy has received the attention of the state, and the state has issued a series of policies to point out the direction for the development of the industry. According to the "Medium and long-term Strategic Plan of Geothermal Resources in China" issued by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2012, in terms of direct utilization of geothermal energy, the utilization of shallow geothermal energy in China will reach 5000MWh by 2020, and the direct utilization of geothermal (hot springs) will reach 4000MWh; By 2030, the utilization of shallow geothermal energy in China will reach 10,000 MWH, and the direct utilization of geothermal (hot springs) will reach 6,500MWh; By 2050, the utilization of shallow geothermal energy in China will reach 25,000 MWH, and the direct utilization of geothermal (hot springs) will reach 10,000 MWH, and the space for direct utilization of geothermal energy will be huge.

In terms of geothermal power generation, the installed capacity of dry hot rock geothermal power generation in China will reach 25MWe by 2020, the installed capacity of dry hot rock geothermal power generation in China will reach 100MWe by 2030, and the installed capacity of dry hot rock geothermal power generation in China will reach 300MWe by 2050.
