Abstract
AbstractGeothermal resources, as abundant renewable and clean natural resources on Earth, have been utilized for geothermal power generation in 29 countries. Guangdong Province, as one of the most developed, economically vibrant, and attractive investment regions in China, has experienced rapid economic growth. However, further development is constrained by resource limitations and severe ecological environmental pressures. The issue of energy consumption and economic growth imbalance needs to be urgently addressed. Geothermal energy, as a clean and stable form of energy, can reduce reliance on fossil fuels, decrease dependence on imported energy, and enhance national energy security. In this study, geological survey, geophysical survey, geochemical survey, remote sensing detection and drilling were carried out in the Shiba–Huangshadong area of Huizhou, and by analyzing the data on geothermal energy reserves in the study area, the available geothermal energy and its potentials in the study area were identified and its impact on the current energy consumption in Huizhou City was assessed, to validate the feasibility of the detailed application of the geothermal energy in the Greater Bay Area, which will enable the energy structure of Huizhou City optimize the energy structure.
