Abstract
Since the first World Geothermal Congress in 1995, China has been keeping the first place for annual energy utilization of geothermal direct use. Along with rapid growth of GSHP, China has gotten up the first chair for installed capacity of geothermal direct use. This is due to that market demand drives growth after China entering the market economy. At recent 20 years GSHP and geothermal district heating developed at top speed relying on the opportunity of energy saving and emission reduction. However, there are some barriers still existed at present. We have to rely on innovation to win through it, in order to more prosperous development.
