【 摘 要 】

Geothermal resources development and utilization started in 1970 in China when the world's first petroleum crisis. Unfortunately it had not lasted for long time. However, along with the reform and opening-up at 1980s the decreased national input affected further growth. Up to the time of market economy many developers invested geothermal at the middle of 1990s, Chinese geothermal business became expanded and formed industrialized scale. It made Chinese geothermal high speed growth. Chinese geothermal annual energy use for direct use occupies the first place in the world since 2000. GSHP has a very rapid growth in past two decades in China. Its annual energy use had reached the first place in the world in 2015. Overall these achievements are based on industrialized development in China. It will bring China to go a more promising future.
