Turn Up the Heat BC Lunch

Tides Canada

400-163 West Hastings St.
Vancouver, BC

Friday, January 30, 2015
11AM-1PM
Lunch Included

Registration includes a copy of the CanGEA Report: Geothermal Energy: The Renewable and Cost Effective Alternative to Site C, a 60 page report that provides an assessment of what CanGEA believes to be the true value of geothermal resources in British Columbia.

Can't attend but still want the report? It's available here.

"Geothermal is the only true baseload renewable energy so a country not capitalising on it would be mad." - The New Zealand Herald
On Tuesday, November 25, 2014, CanGEA released its report on Geothermal in BC. This report presents geothermal as an alternative to the controversial Site C hydro dam on the Peace River. A number of false claims have been made regarding BC's geothermal potential and now CanGEA's Chair and Managing Director, Alison Thompson, will be heading to Vancouver to present the facts. Join her for lunch as she provides the basics on BC's geothermal potential as identified in the CanGEA Resource Estimate Maps. All are welcome! If you have an interest in the environment, renewable energy, or energy in BC it is highly recommended that you attend this event!

Special opportunities for the mining sector.
During this event, Alison will also discuss how geothermal heat can contribute to the mining industry, by improving economics and reducing environmental impact.
Geothermal fluids are utilized globally in various mineral extraction processes, most significantly, the recovery of rare earth minerals from geothermal brines. This process allows the production of "fair trade metals."

Price: $100

2015 Pacific Agriculture Show
January 29, 2015
Abbotsford, BC


You may think you’ve heard it before… but we are not talking geoexhange heat pumps, this is conventional Geothermal Energy. This renewable heat source is available right across the province and is used in 70 countries around the world.  Can you harness this heat to lower your production costs? CanGEA tells you how.


For more information on the 2015 Pacific Agriculture Show, please visit their homepage.


Cant attend but still want the geothermal direct use report? Get it here.

"Geothermal is the only true baseload renewable energy so a country not capitalising on it would be mad." - The New Zealand Herald

Globally, developments for an estimated 18.6 gigawatts of geothermal power are currently underway in 70 countries. That’s a $100-billion investment, say data from Canadian Geothermal Energy Association. - CanGEA featured in The PEG

Geothermal energy is delivering clean, base-load and low cost electricity in 25 countries as well as heating in 70 countries for fish farms, greenhouses, breweries, and much more! It offers a variety of environmental and socioeconomic benefits to users. Despite its location on the geologically active Pacific Ring of Fire, Canada is not making material use of geothermal energy.

Have you ever wondered why?

Join CanGEA's chair, Alison Thompson, and policy advisor, Justin Crewson, for a policy talk on kick-starting the industry in Canada. Admission includes a networking coffee break with attendees from our Technology Transfer Workshop with the Oil & Gas Industry. 

Please contact us if you have any questions. Click here to register.

Geothermal 101 Coffee Break
The Calgary Petroleum Club

Monday, February 23
9-11AM
Price: $90
Member Price: $75

Geothermal energy is delivering clean, base-load and low cost electricity in 25 countries as well as heating in 70 countries for fish farms, greenhouses, breweries, and much more! While not yet fully utilized, geothermal energy is an important part of Canada’s energy future, creating new investment and jobs in Canadian communities while also contributing to a cleaner environment for future generations.

Not familiar with the environmental, social and economic benefits of geothermal power, or would like to learn more? Our Geothermal 101 Workshops explain what geothermal energy is, where it comes from, and how it is used in a manner that can be understood by people from many different backgrounds. We also cover geothermal resources and projects in Canada, so you can be aware of what is moving forward and what is hindering the geothermal industry.

Coffee Break
The Geothermal 101 Coffee Break meant as an introduction to our Technology Transfer Workshop with the Oil & Gas Industry. If you cannot attend the whole day, but are still interested in geothermal power, join us for this two hour session to learn about geothermal opportunities and mingle with those attending the day-long event.

About the Presenter:

Craig Dunn, P.Geol.
craig@borealisgeopower.com
@loveyourrock

Geologist, Entrepreneur, Energy fanatic and lover of earth, Craig Dunn is always on the go.  He is the co-founder of multiple organizations in a variety of fields, including geopower exploration, technology and social good; as a father of two, he is always thinking of the world that we are leaving for the next generation.  He lives by the idea that “Make beautiful ideas reality and the world will follow”.

After moving to Calgary and working in the environmental sector, Mr. Dunn got his first taste of what the energy industry was all about.  In 2003, Mr. Dunn founded WellDunn Consulting, a geological consulting firm for the oil and gas industry in both conventional and unconventional oil and gas exploration across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.  Always pursuing the cutting edge projects, Mr. Dunn worked on many early stage programs from the Bakken in SE Saskatchewan to tight gas plays in NE BC.  With a passion for renewable energy, he moved on to work multiple geothermal exploration projects in the US and Canada with some of the first public geothermal companies in Canada. 

Mr. Dunn was one of key personnel involved with the resurgence of the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association (CanGEA) on the board of directors and as the Outreach Director. His work has helped to establish CanGEA’s education program, helped to promote a national study for geothermal potential in Canada and co-authored many geothermal reports including Geothermal Policy Best Practices (2009).  His work with CanGEA, led him to his role as founder and Chief Geologist with Borealis Geopower. He is considered one of the leading experts and pioneers in geothermal energy exploration and development initiatives in Canada.  Mr. Dunn supplies both project management and geological expertise for the development of high temperature geothermal energy.  Borealis Geopower has multiple ongoing geothermal power projects across Western Canada working to bring the first Geopower projects online. 

In his limited spare time, Mr. Dunn is not one to sit around.  Mr. Dunn is an active volunteer with Alberta Science Network and he is still actively playing  soccer and hockey in his ‘old age’.  Mr. Dunn also co-founded the tech startup WaterSeal Technology, which created a revolutionary process that applies a microscopic coating to your electronic devices to protect them from accidental exposure to liquids. During the Calgary Flood of 2013, Mr. Dunn shot out a ‘#yychelps’ tweet from his twitter account (@LoveYourRock) which went viral and then he helped build, the grassroots organization YYCHelps which organized over 100 volunteer projects and registered over 14,000 volunteers. 

Mr. Dunn will be delivering a talk on Geopower development, the potential of geothermal power in Canada, and ongoing Borealis Geopower projects.
