With the low price of oil and the slow pace of CCS development, there is a timely opportunity for companies to access a new market that is looking for their expertise.

Registration for this workshop includes both the Luncheon Keynote Address and the Geothermal Resource Development and Canadian Business Opportunities morning session; both of which can be purchased separately. We will also be distributing a Technical Report post-workshop featuring key topics of discussion.

Can't attend the event, but still want to read our reports? you can access both of them by clicking here.
