The Geothermal Resources Council (GRC) Annual Meeting is fast approaching and we are looking forward to having a strong Canada representation. The conference will be held in Palm Springs, CA from Sept. 15-18, 2019.
Many of our board members as well as our corporate members will be in attendance, and some are presenting talks and/or have posters. Geothermal Canada president Cathie Hickson will give the Country Update in the International Session.
On August 23, 2019, the Government of Canada announced $25.45 million in funding for the geothermal project “Alberta No. 1” led by Terrapin Geothermics, the MD of Greenview, and PCL Construction. The funding is part of Natural Resources Canada’s Emerging Renewable Power Program.
This notice is to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has registered for the Geothermal Systems/Resources in Sedimentary Basins 2019 Conference. We have received a most promising array of submitted abstracts. With regret, we must inform you that the conference, which was scheduled for October 15-18th, 2019, has been unavoidably postponed until September 9-10, 2020.
Geothermal Canada’s own Director at Large, Kristen Marcia, discusses the geothermal resource and its potential at Estevan, the geothermal industry in Canada, and the future of DEEP’s projects in an interview with Bridge City News.
More information about DEEP’s project can be found here.
The Yukon Geological Survey has been assessing the kinematics of the Denali Fault in Kluane Ranges, Yukon, for the purpose of geothermal exploration along this major crustal structure.
The study involved collecting subsurface temperature data around communities, drilling two ~500m temperature gradient wells.
On June 26, 2019, Geoscience BC selected ten post-graduate geoscience students to receive a prestigious scholarship award and Geothermal Canada would like to congratulate all of the recipients. We are also excited to see two projects related to geothermal- congratulations to Theron Finley of the University of Alberta and to Ashley Van Acken of the University of Victoria!
