The Real Cost of Going Geothermal and how Policy can Make it More Attractive

"Geothermal is the only true baseload renewable energy so a country not capitalising on it would be mad." - The New Zealand Herald
While Canada is one of the 82 countries worldwide using geothermal heat for spas and fish farms, it can be doing so much more. Geothermal energy is used around the world to produce jobs and economic prosperity in regions with geothermal resources. To name a few examples, these videos show geothermal heat being used for greenhouses, fish farms, tree nurseries, and even breweries!

Geothermal energy is also delivering clean, low-cost, baseload electricity in 24 countries, however, not 1 MW of geothermal power is being produced in Canada. 

Have you ever wondered why? Is it the cost?
Come see CanGEA present results from over 100 engineering case studies prepared by Enerpro Engineering used to arrive at an expected plant-gate cost $/MWh, for various proposed geothermal power projects across the country.

Also presented will be expected $/MWt for various direct uses of geothermal energy as well as combined heat and power cases.

Results covered will include several different plant sizes and locations, including the Prairies, Coast, Mountains, and the North. Both Hot Sedimentary Aquifer (HSA) and Hot Fractured Rock geologic environments will be assessed.

This will be followed by a discussion with CanGEA’s policy advisor, Justin Crewson, on how other countries are ensuring that their viable geothermal resources do not sit idle, but instead contribute to sustainable economic and social prosperity. He will be presenting results from his recently completed gap analysis on international geothermal policy mechanisms, which will aid Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) towards more successful geothermal Power and Heat Purchase Agreements.

In addition, a horizontal tax scan will be presented by DLA Piper (Canada) LLP. This presentation will be aimed at highlighting areas of asymmetry between the tax incentives offered to oil & gas, mining and other renewables, in comparison to those available to geothermal developers. Come and let your priorities be known so that CanGEA's follow-on work can best serve your organization's strategic goals.


This is also a prime networking opportunity for the emerging geothermal industry.


"Geothermal electricity generation is a mature, baseload generation technology that can provide very competitive electricity where high-quality resources are well-defined."
- International Renewable Energy Agency, January 2015

CanGEA visits the east coast - Springhill, Nova Scotia

Date: Tuesday, June 23
Time: 6:30PM-8:30PM

Entrance to the Springhill Tour a Mine.
Did you know that Canada is currently ranked 5th in the WORLD for the use of geothermal heat pumps? We want to grow this industry and reach 3rd place by the next World Geothermal Congress in 2020. There is no better place to further this goal than in Springhill, Nova Scotia.

After 3 great tragedies struck the town of Springhill, the subsurface coal mines were shut down and subsequently filled with water - water that heated up! Since, this resource has been utilized both commercially and residentially and is the first of its kind (of less than 30) in the world!

We will be in Springhill on June 23rd to connect with community members and business owners and work with them on potential direct use of geothermal heat projects in the area.

To RVSP to this event, send us an email at info@cangea.ca.
Can't attend the event but would like to learn more about direct use of geothermal heat applications? Download a copy of our internationally acclaimed report, The Direct Utilization of Geothermal Energy: Suitable Canadian Applications and Opportunities.

Geothermal energy is delivering clean, base-load and low cost electricity in 24 countries as well as heating in 82 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.

Join us to learn about Canadian Geothermal Opportunities and how you can be a part of the geothermal industry!

The workshop will cover the following topics:

    1. Basic introduction to geothermal energy
    2. Different types of geothermal power plants
    3. Commercial and Industrial uses of geothermal heat
    4. The state of Canada's geothermal industry
    5. Business opportunities globally and nationally   

These events have sold out in the past, inquire below to book a private session for your group!
