The Development Prospects and Recommendations of China's Hot Dry Rock Development

Abstract:

With the continuous growth of human energy demand, a large number of people around the world increasingly concern about the exploitation of traditional fossil energy will face resource depletion and environmental pollution, scientists from various countries have been constantly exploring, trying to find renewable and non-contamination of clean energy. As a special geothermal resources, hot dry rock have attracted attention of many countries abroad as early as the 1980s and 1990s, which successfully constructed experimental hot dry rock power generation stations. In the situation of worlds traditional energy resources are much more costly and hard to develop, the hot dry rock, a widely distributed energy resource in China, we have the ability and need to be developed and utilized of it. This article describes the Chinese potential amount of hot dry rock resources and preferred areas of mining development, as well as developed countries hot dry rock technology research status and experiences, which can make some comments on the actual exploration and exploitation in China.
