GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES AND UTILIZATION IN TIBET AND THE HIMALAYAS
Tibet is located in the east section of the Mediterranean-Himalayan Geothermal Zone, one of the worlds greater geothermal zones. Various high temperature geothermal manifestations are distributed throughout Tibet. In Yangbajain and Yangyi etc. 10 geothermal fields have been explored or detailed surveys have been made. The total resource potential is 299 GW. Yangbajain has an installed capacity of 24.18 MWe and has run safely for nearly 30 years. Medium-low temperature geothermal resources are used in greenhouses, baths, for medical care, space heating and industrial washing amongst other aspects. The geothermal resources are suitable for district heating and have great potential. Furthermore, utilization of shallow geothermal energy by means of Geothermal Shallow Heat Pumps (GSHPs) can satisfy the demands for space heating in Lhasa and most other larger towns in Tibet.
