Abstract:

To achieve the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality in China, and to realize energy conservation, emission reduction and clean energy utilization rate improvement, geothermal resource application methods are summarized based on the storage of geothermal energy in China. The geothermal energy application mode has developed from the single and extensive one, such as power generation or heating only,to a cascade and integrated one. According to the conditions of geothermal and solar energy of a scenic spot, a new comprehensive cascade utilization scheme for geothermal energy is designed, in which geothermal water is successively used for power generation, cooling, drying and bathing. Since the temperature of geothermal water is only 80-90 ℃ after heat dissipation in pipes, it cannot be applied for power generation by domestic generator sets. The temperature of geothermal water heated to 93 ℃ by solar energy can be used to generate electricity.Then the temperature of geothermal water drops from 75 ℃ to 65 ℃ after cooling, and reduces from 65 ℃ to 50 ℃ after drying. Finally, it reaches at 50 ℃ and is used for bathing. The "geothermal energy +" comprehensive cascade utilization scheme realizes the “near-zero carbon” power supply of heat pump units, water pumps and other equipment, improves energy utilization rate, reduces operating costs and achieves the sustainable development of energy.

Key words: carbon peaking, carbon neutrality, geothermal energy +, cascade utilization, geothermal power generation, geothermal cooling, geothermal drying, geothermal bathing, clean heating, integrated energy system
