Abstract
Geothermal resources refer to hot water fields of various temperatures and depths that exist beneath the surface of the Earth. They are the second largest clean energy source after solar energy. Water vapor or high-temperature hot water can be extracted into the surface by drilling for use, such as power generation, direct utilization, and heating and cooling.
