Abstract:

The energy consumption in construction industry stays high.In 2019,global carbon emissions from construction industry accounted for 28% of the total CO2 emissions.Nowadays,energy conservation and emission reduction for buildings has become a major problem for energy structure of China and even the world.In order to explore the heating potential of geothermal resources and its value in achieving emission peak and carbon neutrality,the endowment and distribution characteristics of geothermal resources in China is briefly described and the geothermal energy utilization modes suitable for different regions are obtained.Energy-saving and high-efficiency pipe burying ways for ground source heat pumps(GSHPs)have drawn great attention.Based on engineering cases,different heat-supply characteristics of shallow and medium-deep geothermal energy have been analyzed.According to the development in the past five years,the GSHP is of great development potential for being able to meet 19.25% of China's building energy supply demand by 2030. In terms of practical application and prospects,a variety of new underground heat exchangers,direct-expansion GSHPs,cross-season energy storage and multi-energy complementary geothermal energy utilization modes are proposed by considering the geothermal detection,geothermal extraction and geothermal utilization.These technologies can increase the utilization rate of renewable energy,reduce the fossil energy consumption and lower the energy consumption of buildings.

Key words: geothermal energy, ground source heat pump, energy supply for buildings, engineering application, carbon emissions, carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, multi-energy complementary, heating
