Jun 14, 2010CanGEA 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.
