CanGEA responds to article “Interest in Canada’s geothermal energy industry heating up!”
A recent article posted in Power Week Canada reiterated the vast potential for Canada's geothermal resources. In response to this article, and the work of Jacek Majorowicz and Stephen Grasby, CanGEA would like to reaffirm their support for all types of geothermal energy development, including enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). CanGEA Chair & Founder, Alison Thompson, has long been involved in exploring such technologies and was team lead for Canada's first EGS study which examined geothermal potential for cleanly powering the Oil Sands. CanGEA's Third Annual Geothermal Conference and Trade Show (August 9th and 10th) will showcase some of the exciting work being done in EGS and geothermal power for Oil Sands technology. Certainly all available methods of harnessing the vast potential of Canada's geothermal resources should and must be examined to bring this base-load, renewable energy source online to satisfy Canada's clean energy demands.
"To learn more about EGS and Geothermal Power join us at the Third Annual Geothermal Conference and Trade Show in Vancouver, August 9th and 10th.

CanGEA releases Member Project Database
The Canadian Geothermal Energy Association (CanGEA) today released the much anticipated CanGEA Member Projects Database. The report outlines all the various CanGEA member projects under development around the world. This inaugural report is the first of its kind for the Canadian geothermal energy industry.
According to the report CanGEA members are currently working on more than 70 projects under development representing more than 1,400 MW, and nearly 2,000 MW of installed geothermal capacity. The projects listed span four continents and eleven countries giving CanGEA members a truly global reach in their operations. While there is currently no geothermal power production in Canada there are nevertheless a number of projects under development which may soon come online to supply Canada’s first few megawatts of geothermal power.
Typically projects have been categorized in terms of resource development. The CanGEA Member Projects Database instead recognizes three levels of Geothermal Resources and two levels of Geothermal Reserves. With increasing geological knowledge and confidence a Geothermal Resource progresses from Inferred, to Indicated, to Measured. Similarly, with consideration of energy recovery and conversion, economic, marketing, environmental, social, legal, and regulatory factors (all Modifying Factors) the resource may be labelled a Probable or Proved Geothermal Reserve.
The CanGEA Member Projects Database utilizes the Canadian Geothermal Code for Public Reporting to provide a framework for comparison among industry players. Included in the Database is the Geothermal Progress Checklist which lays out the framework to categorize projects under development based on geological knowledge and modifying factors such as economic and legal factors. The checklist highlights the necessary steps in the development of a geothermal resource from exploration to production. Applying this framework allows for universal comparison among projects under development while also providing the cursory framework to adhere to the Canadian Geothermal Code for Public Reporting.
For a copy of the CanGEA Member Projects Database please follow the link below. CanGEA encourages interested parties to provide feedback for future iterations of the report and welcomes any questions or comments.
About CanGEA: CanGEA is a national industry association that believes we can provide competitively priced, emissions free, renewable, base-load energy to Canadians and to U.S. export markets. CanGEA works on behalf of our members to facilitate the growth of geothermal power projects and promote publicly listed companies on the Canadian Exchanges.
