Natural Resources Canada Emerging Renewable Power Program (ERPP) Information Session - Calgary1/30/2018
 What is ERPP? Emerging renewable projects face higher risks, costs and more regulatory issues than projects using established renewable energy sources. This program mitigates the risk of emerging renewable power projects through federal government funding, allowing emerging renewables to play a larger role in Canada’s electricity supply mix. The program will establish new industries in Canada by supporting renewable power technologies that are:
Event Information On February 7, 2018 Natural Resources Canada will be offering an information session on the Emerging Renewable Energy Power Program (ERPP). The information session will be geared towards providing an overview of the ERPP and offer stakeholders a chance to ask questions. Eligibility As space for the information session is limited, priority registration will be given to CanSIA and CanGEA members. Additionally, for most technologies (including geothermal), only projects with a net energy capacity of 4 MW will be considered (for some cases, projects with capacities of greater than 1 MW may be considered). Registration does not guarantee a seat; a confirmation email will be sent to those eligible for the information session.

Heat Seeking; Alberta's geothermal industry potential and barriers, is a report from the Pembina Institute with support from the Alberta Clean Technology Industry Alliance. It identifies similarities between geothermal energy and oil and gas development that position Alberta to develop a thriving geothermal industry. It also describes challenges the emerging industry faces and what we need to exploit geothermal energy’s potential. An open webinar will take place at 10am MST on Tuesday December 19 where the author will discuss her findings with Jason Switzer of the Alberta Clean Technology Industry Alliance and answer participant questions.
CanGEA has been asked to provide comments at the end of the webinar; Policy Manager, Nathan Coles will provide comments on behalf of CanGEA. More information regarding the webinar please click here.

You are invited to join Climeon for breakfast and an overview of:
Climeon is a Swedish cleantech equipment vendor and world leader in converting low temperature heat into clean electricity. The company was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Stockholm with 50+ employees. Climeon was founded to deliver an economically viable business case when it came to converting low temperature heat into electricity. Climeon was built with the ambition to deliver a good business case and a positive environmental impact. In comparison to ORC-systems, Climeon’s Heat Power system reaches a higher efficiency due to its unique low pressure technology and patented condensation solution, among other things. Due to the low pressure, the internal energy consumption can be decreased by 90 percent compared to traditional ORC systems. The result is a simpler solution that makes it economically viable to produce electricity from low temperature sources (below 120 °C). Climeon website Climeon will be available for one-on-one meetings following the breakfast presentation. The one-on-one meetings will take place at the CanGEA office located at: Calgary Place Tower 2, 355 4th Avenue SW Book a one-on-one meeting Dial-in access will be available through GotoMeeting.

About
"The two day event is a platform for the know-how exchange of the fastest developing geothermal market in Middle Europe. As there are so many plants in the vicinity of Munich, the event is closely related to practice with speakers giving first hand information about projects in development and operation. The Praxisforum is the ideal platform for networking to build up and refresh business contacts and to meet the decision makers of the Bavarian Geothermal Industry."
The first day will feature 2 field trips. The first field trip will visit the wells and the heating plant Freiham, the most recent drilled project of the Stadtwerke München. The second target will be announced soon.
The second day, Congress Day, will feature presentations from 10AM - 6PM and Praxisforum Lounge from 7PM - 10PM. Presentation details can be found here.
