Geothermal energy is expected to heat up

Because much of the available geothermal energy resources are far from the energy market, the best use of geothermal energy requires turning it into electricity and transporting it over long distances. China's high-temperature geothermal resources are mainly located in southern Tibet, western Sichuan, western Yunnan and other regions, is the main position of geothermal power generation. Geothermal power generation can form multi-energy complementarity with unstable power sources such as stroke power and photovoltaic power sources in regional power grids, providing stable and reliable basic power sources and peak load capacity. In the future, with the breakthrough of dry hot rock power generation technology, geothermal power generation is expected to achieve a larger scale development.

Geothermal energy is also a generalist. The temperature of geothermal energy supply is close to the temperature required for greenhouse planting, artificial breeding and incubation, as well as drying, heating, sterilization and other processes in many industries, which is an important direction for geothermal energy to carry out diversified industrial applications and tap a broader clean alternative market.

In general, the current geothermal energy is still hovering at the gate of commercialization, and the inexhaustible heat energy of the earth's interior has not been developed. In the future, more extensive adaptation to local conditions, scientific development, and on-demand energy supply will become the inevitable choice for large-scale development of geothermal energy. It is necessary to increase exploration investment and planning layout, strengthen scientific and technological leadership and equipment innovation, strengthen forward-looking layout and revolutionary geothermal theory and technology research, and continue to promote the geothermal industry to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
