Since yesterday, Wangbin Decorative Material Limited of Fotang, Yiwu, Zhejiang, it’s 380 mu factory area project has operated once.
The idea of developing shallow geothermal proposed by the chairman of the company Wangbin. For this project, he has invested more than 5 millions, for hitting bores and purchasing geothermal equipment from United States.
He first installed in an office building and dormitory building of the shallow geothermal air conditioning, daytime for office workers to use, and at night for staff which live in the dormitory to use.
What is the use of geothermal resources?
"Geothermal resource utilization, sub-geothermal hot springs and shallow. According to the survey, the geothermal resources of our province mountainous area is better, Wuyi hot spring is one of examples.” The Provincial Institute of Geophysical and Geochemical Exploration Chief Engineer Zhu zhiyong said.
Does private development of geothermal legally?
Using shallow geothermal thermostat head, not the city's business, but a number of villa owners in our city. “after hearing from one of my friend’s introduction, late last year I asked drilling team to install a ground source heat pump system, the departments have not been approved. "He bluntly told reporters. According to report, in the development and utilization of shallow geothermal thermostat, the state has no corresponding laws and regulations. But the shallow geothermal energy is a national resource, which is under the jurisdiction of land and resources.
Does it expensive to develop geothermal energy?
The chairman of Wangbin Decorative Material Limited Wang bin said, compared with central air-conditioning, Development of geothermal energy are more expensive of about 200 million in upfront investment, may be relatively the former, the annual cost savings of 100 million, and long service life.
Mr Zhang who is the owner of the villa said, compared with common central air-conditioning, installing of ground-source heat pump system costs are more expensive. His house is about 380 square meters, including ground-source heat pumps, central air conditioning and other equipment, including that he spent about 30 thausands. Therefore, average family can not afford the shallow heat.
Yiwu is expected to develop the overall geothermal energy.
The provincial Geophysical and Geochemical Exploration Institute of shallow thermal response test base loctated in a grass near Meihu stadium of Yiwu. And Zhu zhiyong said: “ this kind of base, there are 15 in Yiwu urban and rural areas.”
Back in August 2009, Yiwu was identified as the province of shallow geothermal energy use of geological environment survey pilot cities, focus range of Yiwu City (2004 ~ 2020) focus on urban areas and urban planning, work zone area of 350 square kilometers .
Up to now, "Yiwu shallow geothermal resources investigation feasibility study report" has passed the assessment. Next, the institution will install the relevant equipment near the Yiwu River, which will be transported to a number of shallow geothermal star hotels of Yiwu, which is expected to become the province's first city to use shallow geothermal energy.
