New energy generation method: geothermal power generation - geothermal energy

In recent years, the utilization of geothermal energy in China is mainly direct utilization. With the continuous breakthrough of key technologies of geothermal power generation, geothermal development and utilization gradually extend to the direction of geothermal power generation. Geothermal power generation is the extraction of underground heat energy into usable electrical energy, almost zero emissions in the power generation process, compared with thermal power generation, hydropower generation is more competitive. Considering the distribution of geothermal resources in China, Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet, which are distributed in the Mediterranean-Himalayan mountain tropics, are the main distribution areas of high-temperature geothermal resources, which have a very large power generation potential. With the breakthrough in the research and development of technical means and equipment for medium and low temperature geothermal power generation, the use of medium and low temperature geothermal resources for power generation continues to grow; China is rich in dry hot rock resources, the use of dry hot rock power generation is still in the research and development stage, compared with western countries slow development. Key technological breakthroughs in medium and low temperature geothermal power generation and enhanced geothermal power generation systems will accelerate the development and utilization of geothermal resources and contribute to the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient modern energy system in China.
