Shanghai's shallow geothermal energy project has a broad prospect for more than 500 geothermal industries

The Shanghai Municipal Planning and Land Resources Management Bureau and the Yangpu District Government jointly held the Shanghai Shallow Geothermal Energy Development and Utilization Seminar on April 24 at the School of Journalism of Fudan University to discuss how to further promote the development and utilization of shallow geothermal energy in the city and promote economic development. The sustainable development of society.

The theme of the national propaganda for "World Earth Day" in 2011 was "Treasuring the Earth's resources and transforming the mode of development." Shanghai's propaganda theme is "Energy-saving and emission reduction, and vigorously promoting the use of shallow geothermal energy." Shallow geothermal energy refers to heat energy that has a value of development and utilization of 200 meters below the surface and has a temperature below 25 degrees Celsius.

The reporter learned that in 1989, Minhang Development Zone office building began to develop and utilize shallow geothermal energy. By 2009, the city’s shallow geothermal energy development and utilization projects have increased to more than 500. The demonstration project has increased from 2 in 2008 to 2009. 18, accounting for 68% of the demonstration projects using renewable energy for building energy in the year. From the perspective of using effects, heat pump air conditioners with shallow geothermal energy as a source of cold and heat energy have more obvious energy-saving effects. It is reported that at present, the city has tentatively delineated a suitable area for the development and utilization of shallow geothermal energy.
