In the past decades, the study on Hot Dry Rock (HDR) geothermal resource has been a hot topic. A large number of investigations confirm that electricity power generated from HDR is feasible and suggest that HDR geothermal source is a kind of local and renewable energy. Up no now, many countries have carried out HDR experiments. As a large energy consumption country, China will also develop HDR geothermal energy in the near future. In the present study, our preliminary data potentially suggest that Guangdong province have great potential to develop HDR geothermal applications.
