As part of the EU-funded project GeoS-TECHIS, Fraunhofer IAO and the IAT University of Stuttgart, are conducting a survey on the acceptance and perception of geothermal energy in industry.
The goal of the survey is to better understand the views, needs, and expectations of key stakeholders and to use these insights to develop policy recommendations, communication strategies, and educational materials that support the transition towards climate-neutral industrial energy systems.
The online survey is anonymous; takes about 15 minutes to complete.
Stakeholder Perceptions and Opinions about Geothermal Energy
The results will be published on our website GeoS-TECHIS Fraunhofer.

CSEG Geothermal Technical Division Talk

Speakers: Ali Shariat and Kevin Joslin
Location: NEW CEGA Classroom, +15 level, 500 4 Ave SW, Calgary AB, T2P 0M2
This talk will also be available online

ABSTRACT:  Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) are attracting significant attention among the various types of geothermal. EGS enables access to deep, hot rock formations that naturally lack sufficient water or permeability. Through advanced stimulation techniques under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, EGS has the potential to significantly expand the global reach of geothermal energy. This work presents an overview of the underlying physics and key parameters critical for geothermal modeling based on insights from case studies.

Waste heat comes from many sources—flue gasses, geothermal water and coproduced fluids, the jacket water of engines, and steam condensate to name a few. But waste heat recovery projects—which capture and utilize this otherwise lost resource and convert it to electric power using the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)—can improve the efficiency, economics, and resiliency of a site. Designing and incorporating these projects requires thoughtful analysis of the thermal balance and site requirements for successful implementation, which will be discussed at a high level in this webinar. Other topics will include guidance on equipment selection, focusing project objectives, and identifying potential roadblocks.

Alberta’s electricity system is entering a period of rapid change. Electricity demand is rising as electrification accelerates and data centres expand, while market structures continue to evolve and expectations for reliability increase.

Energy Storage Alberta 2026 returns at this defining moment. This full-day Summit brings together leaders from across Alberta’s electricity ecosystem to provide clarity on what’s ahead for energy storage, market design and system reliability. Discussions are grounded in Alberta’s system realities, informed by experience from across Canada and the United States, and focused on practical decision-making.

The future of energy is being shaped right now — and the conversations that matter most are happening at Energy Connections 2026!  Join industry leaders, innovators, and decision-makers for a powerful exchange on the challenges and opportunities shaping tomorrow’s energy landscape - in a full day of insights, collaboration, and connection.

Event Date: April 27, 2026
Time: 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. PST
Location: Hybrid Event (Join us in person at the Pinnacle Harbourfront Hotel, Vancouver, BC, or virtually, via Zoom)

Join Clean Air Task Force for the 2nd Superhot Rock Summit, a high-level international gathering focused on advancing the future of superhot rock geothermal energy.

This exclusive, invitation-only gathering is designed for leaders driving the frontier of geothermal innovation. If you are interested in participating or would like to be considered for an invitation, please contact events@catf.us. 

Voted Canada’s best conference, UNITE returns September 28–29 at the BMO Centre, and we’re building the volunteer team that powers it.
If you’re driven by curiosity, connection, and bold ideas shaping the future of energy, this is your moment.
