The development and utilization of geothermal energy is an important way to develop non-electric renewable energy utilization in China, and is an important tool for implementing the carbon peak action in a planned and step-by-step manner. At the 15th National Geothermal Conference held from the 22nd to the 23rd, Gui Xiaoyang, Deputy Director of the New Energy and Renewable Energy Division of the National Energy Administration, pointed out the need to fully utilize China's geothermal resources. Geothermal energy is an important member of China's new energy system with abundant reserves, wide distribution, stability, reliability, and enormous development potential. Wu Yin, former Deputy Director of the National Energy Administration, stated at the conference that geothermal energy has enormous potential in various sectors such as residential housing, public buildings, industry, transportation, agriculture, and more. With technological progress and development of economies of scale, the cost of geothermal heating will gradually decrease, and the status of geothermal energy in the future energy structure will further improve.
