Subsurface energy systems in China: production, storage and conversion

摘要: The Thematic Issue is dedicated to different aspects of using the potential geologic subsurface as a resource for energy production (e.g., hydrothermal and petrothermal resources), storage well safe deposition waste, conversion biochemical reactors convert hydrogen carbon dioxide into methane). Figure 1 shows an overview map systems in China including classification high-, midand low-temperature reservoirs basins (Kong et al. 2014). Current research efforts concerning resources focus on sustainable development large-scale geothermal fields. Pang (2012) designed roadmap reported recent progress (Pang Recently, (2015) presented new based type heat source followed by mechanisms transfer. present focusing particularly enhanced systems. Some indicated Fig. are also interest unconventional gas which discussed separate Environmental Earth Sciences (Hou 2015a). Geothermal considered provide significant contribution renewable supply from both shallow deep (Arola 2014; Huenges 2013; Kolditz Scheck-Wenderoth 2013). Understanding thermally induced coupled processes important reservoir operations (McDermott 2006; Diersch 1993). Breede (2014) systematic review or engineered (EGS).
