Leduc #1 Living Energy Project - Leduc #1 Energy Discovery Centre launched Canada’s first oil well-to-geothermal conversion with a plan to become the world’s first carbon neutral oil museum. The Leduc #1 Energy Discovery Centre is located in Devon AB, at the heritage site of the Leduc #1 Discovery well that catalyzed Alberta's petroleum industry. The Living Energy Project builds on this proud legacy, carrying Leduc #1’s energy innovation into the 21st Century. The project showcases Alberta’s innovation, green technologies and their deployment by oil firms, while creating a partnership opportunity between oil firms, renewable energy firms, and government.
