With the rapid development of digital technology, new types of energy services are available in the current market. At Fengxi New Energy, we employ new digital technology to enable energy systems to monitor and process multi-layers of information and provide efficient and intelligent energy supply and value-added services to our customers. We call it a “comprehensive multi-energy service”. Comprehensive multi-energy services provide two purposes. The first is a complete energy supply, covering a variety of integrated energy sources, including electricity, gas, cooling, and heating. The second purpose comprises engineering, investment, operation, and maintenance services. Integrated energy systems offer several advantages with complementary capabilities, such as high efficiency, operation flexibility, reduced emissions, and energy recovery. The main business of Fengxi New Energy is the medium-deep geothermal clean energy system. The system collects low-grade heat via a closed loop from geothermal wells 2,000–3,000 metres deep. The low-grade heat is then upgraded by heat pumps to a sufficient temperature and is routed through heat exchangers in an underground distributed piping system, supplying energy to buildings and other customers. The first phase of this plan was completed in 2015 when two housing projects were connected to the heating system. One significant advantage of this system is that it does not consume
