Shallow geothermal energy reserves are abundant and widely distributed in Shandong Province. Vigorously developing and utilizing shallow geothermal energy will play a significant role in improving energy pressure in Shandong Province. The energy efficiency of ground source heat pumps is closely related to geological and other conditions. However, few studies on geothermal exploitation and utilization have been affected by economic policies. This article will investigate the operation of shallow geothermal engineering in Shandong Province, summarize the current number of operating projects, calculate the engineering annual comprehensive performance coefficient (ACOP), analyze the size characteristics of different cities, and analyze their correlation with economy and policy. Through research, it is found that the number of shallow geothermal energy development and utilization is significantly positively correlated with socioeconomic level and policy orientation, and has a relatively small relationship with ACOP. The research results provide a basis and suggestions for improving and optimizing the energy efficiency coefficient of geothermal heat pumps and promoting the development and utilization of shallow geothermal.

“…The legal framework for the regulation of shallow geothermal energy systems in countries around the world is still under development. The literature shows the diversity of approaches to the use of shallow geothermal energy throughout the world [7][8][9], including that it is regulated more heavily in European countries due to the fact that shallow geothermal energy is commonly used there [10]. In other countries, either deep geothermal energy is more commonly used or the standards are weak and partially vague.…”

Current Legal Framework on Shallow Geothermal Energy Use in Spain

A steady increase in the use of shallow geothermal energy can be observed worldwide in past years. In order to highlight the necessity of a specific detailed legal framework for shallow geothermal energy systems, an overview of the current legal framework in Spain is carried out in this paper. Findings show complex legislation at the national level and a high diversity among regional governments in Spain. There is no legally binding definition of shallow geothermal energy resources and the deep geothermal approach of the past is embedded in the legislation inherited from 40 years ago. In consequence, the lack of specific legislation makes the licensing process of systems an effective barrier for the further development of the market, thus indicating the need for a common approach. This work highlights the need for a shallow geothermal energy management framework structure and a governance model based on an adaptive management approach, including both management planning and implementation as well as control cycles.
