The reporter learned from the Sixth World Geothermal Conference that in 2020, China's installed capacity for direct use of geothermal energy will account for 38% of the world's total, ranking first in the world for many consecutive years.
The World Geothermal Congress will be held in Iceland from October 24th to 27th using a combination of online and offline methods.
The data released by the conference showed that by the end of 2020, China's installed capacity for direct use of geothermal heat reached 40.6 GW, accounting for 38% of the world, ranking first in the world for many years.
Among them, the installed capacity of geothermal heating is 7.0 GW, and the installed capacity of geothermal heat pump is 26.5 GW, an increase of 138% and 125% respectively over 2015.
It is understood that the Beijing Winter Olympics venues also use air energy heat pump units for heating.
Geothermal energy is a kind of renewable energy with abundant reserves, wide distribution, stable and reliable.
On October 26, the State Council’s "Carbon Peaking Action Plan by 2030" proposed to explore and deepen the development and utilization of geothermal energy, wave energy, tidal current energy, temperature difference energy and other marine new energy development and utilization, and further develop high-quality development for geothermal energy development and utilization.
