Geothermal utilization runs both hot and cold

Xiong'an New Area is moving ahead with the construction of a green and sustainable heat supply system supported by its rich geothermal resources and waste heat, with renewable energy meeting one-fourth of its current heating needs, according to an energy executive.

Hu Wenjin, deputy general manager of China Xiongan Group Smart Energy Co, made the remarks in an interview with China Daily in the lead-up to the eighth anniversary of the new area's establishment on April 1.

He said there has been a significant transition in the utilization of geothermal resources in Xiong'an over the past eight years.
