The teaching system development of geothermics in the context of energiewende and carbon neutrality

Abstract

The central government of China has clearly established a target of ‘carbon neutrality’ and new energy development policies. With the upsurge of geothermal resources research and the development of geothermal energy industry, it is necessary for energy universities to pay more attention to geothermal education and strengthen the practical training of geothermal geology professionals. With the advantages in the geothermal geology research and teaching, we developed the teaching system of geothermics from teaching materials, theory teaching, practical education, teachers’ team and the combining of production, education and research, on the basis of the pre-existing courses. Through systematic research and analysis, in view of the demand of production enterprises, the professional training requirements and the practice ability training, for the improvement of the running and the management of the practice teaching system and experimental teaching platform, practice bases for the exploration and development of geothermal resources are established and the practice teaching platform of geothermal lessons are promoted. A comprehensive geothermal teaching laboratory has been completed, which is a trinity of geothermal temperature and rock thermal physical property testing, geochemical analysis and numerical simulation platform. The achievements have provided strong support for the development of clean energy education of our university, and can also provide reference for the construction of new energy teaching system in other energy universities.
