Dry hot rock geothermal energy has received worldwide attention. Because of the huge potential of dry hot rock energy and China’s growing energy demand, in recent years, governments, universities, research institutes and enterprises have done many scientific research and technology in dry hot rock resource exploration and enhanced geothermal (EGS) development. In order to improve the exploitation of HDR resources and the construction of EGS demonstration ground in our country and ensure the current situation of geothermal resources’ exploitation in China, this paper summarized the actuality of EGS exploitation in China by collecting and organizing many relative information and research articles, and analyzed the construction and up-to-date research trends of some international and domestic typical EGS demonstration field. In this paper, experience and lessons learned during the development of the most active EGS site in the world during 2013~2016 have been summarized. Combined with the specific conditions of the existing EGS sites in China, the problems existing in the HDR prospects in China are elaborated, and suggestions for the development of dry hot rocks and the construction of demonstration sites in China are proposed.
