A Discussion on Geothermal Resource and Prospects of Its Development in Coal Mines of Hebei Province
Abstract:Abnormal geotemperatures exist in part of coal mines in Hebei Province.The highest gradient of rock temperature is 6 ℃/100m.This would result in thermal hazard in coal mines.The geotemperatures are closely associated with structures and groundwater.The development of geothermal resources in these coal mines would help to lower thermal hazards and environment pollution and be advantageous to the improvement of the structure of energy sources there.
