The development and utilization of geothermal resources is of great significance to China’s goal of carbon neutrality. Based on the research results of predecessors, through systematic analysis and summary, this paper shows the current research status of geothermal resources (including the utilization of geothermal energy, output characteristics and distribution rules, and classification of geothermal energy) and existing problems (such as unclear understanding of the geothermal formation mode, low survey accuracy and weak basic geothermal geological survey work). Finally, in response to the above-mentioned problems, some countermeasures and suggestions are put forward for the research of China’s geothermal resources in the context of carbon neutrality, such as further strengthening policy support and geothermal resource management; reinforcing basic geological surveys and expand geothermal reserve resources, promoting the integration of professional and intelligent monitoring station networks.
