Join CanGEA's members Alex Sarmiento, Craig Dunn (Borealis GeoPower) and T.M. Gunderson (Enerpro Engineering) for an exciting talk at the Canadian Association of Drilling Engineers (CADE).Earth contains an incredibly vast amount of thermal energy, locked in water reservoirs the same way hydrocarbons are. This energy can be used in a geothermal power plant to drive a steam turbine, which is able to create electricity for oil & gas facilities, residential, industrial and commercial use. Any leftover heat can also be used in a variety of industrial heating applications like greenhouses, paper, pulp and lumber drying, fruit and meat drying, commercial and industrial heating, city and roads heating, bathing, harvesting of Lithium minerals for manufacturing of rechargeable batteries, and roads and sidewalk heating (just to name a few). By targeting these geothermal reservoirs, we can develop this resource using the same technologies and processes that have been used by the Oil and Gas Energy sector for decades. When? June 22, 2016 Where? Calgary Petroleum Club - Devonian Room (319 5 Ave. SW) (map) Agenda: (11:00am - 12:00pm) CanGEA's members Alex Sarmiento, Craig Dunn, and T.M Gunderson will be giving a Geothermal 101 presentation discussing geology, drilling, and power generation topics associated with geothermal energy production. (12:00pm - 1:00pm) Q&A session followed by CanGEA's Alison Thompson with closing remarks on petroleum to geothermal technology and resource transfer. Tickets can be purchased directly from CADE here CanGEA will give a presentation to the Calgary Association of Lifelong Learners on November 2, 2016. Details will be published soon.
CanGEA is hosting a B2B reception at the Embassy of Canada to Iceland. Join the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association as we host a unique business to business networking session during our Iceland Market Visit. This event will be held at the Embassy of Canada to Iceland and is by invitation only. If you would like to receive an invitation, please send us an e-mail. CanGEA will release the 2016 Canadian Trade Commissioner Service - Geothermal Energy Industry Skills and Projects Profile during the reception. How to finance geothermal projects? Join us for our finance workshop and find out!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.CanGEA invites its corporate members to this workshop on how to finance geothermal projects. If you are interested in attending this workshop in Calgary, please pre-register for FREE by using the link below. Final registration and payment for the workshop includes a copy of CanGEA's International Geothermal Policy Mechanisms Best Practices: Identifying the Canadian Gap as pre-workshop reading material. When? TBD Where? Calgary, AB, Canada Agenda: TBD This event is exclusive to CanGEA's corporate members. In the meantime, we ask you to energize geothermal policy development by participating in our powEARTHful campagin by clicking the banner.
CanGEA invites Geyser + members to a quarterly update on federal, provincial and territorial policy. The policy update will be given by CanGEA's chair, Alison Thompson.
When? July 21, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm (Mountain Standard Time) How? This policy update will be given as a webinar/teleconference. Please send us an e-mail to register. This event is for our Geyser+ members only. If you want to participate but are not a corporate member yet, you have the opportunity become a member here. If you are an individual member and want to upgrade your membership level, please contact us via e-mail. In mid-March several Fumarole+ members of CanGEA will have the opportunity to meet with representatives of the Emerging Technologies Directorate, who want to meet some of the firms in the area that are active in clean technology, and who will be able to provide them with insight on their products, markets, opportunities and challenges. This type of outreach helps to support their departmental advice, which can feed into policy and program development activities.
The Emerging Technologies Directorate is a unit of the Manufacturing and Life Sciences branch of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED - formerly Industry Canada). The Emerging Technologies Directorate is focused on the role of emerging technologies on the competitiveness of Canadian industry and how Canada can best encourage the development and uptake of these technologies. Join CanGEA's Geothermal Ambassador Thana Boonlert at the first annual environmental gathering of the Alberta Ecotrust. He will host a roundtable discussion on "Policy Barriers to Geothermal Energy in Alberta".
When? Saturday, February 27, 2016 - 8 AM Where? Ross Glen Hall, Mt. Royal University, Calgary (map) This event is open to participants of the annual gathering. Join CanGEA members Joan Tittemore (InterpreTerra Consulting Ltd.) and Craig Dunn (Borealis GeoPower) for a presentation at the Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists (CSPG) - Hydrology Division.
When? March 4, 2016, 12:00 Where? IHS Office, Sunlife Plaza, 112-4 Ave SW Calgary, East Tower 6th Floor (map) This event is open to the public, but please RSVP here. Craig will talk about existing opportunities for geothermal energy in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, geo-modeling for geothermal energy development. Joan will present information on geothermal energy pilot projects in Canada that have been conducted in the past. She will also talk about current geothermal projects in the Williston basin. Come and get an update on the status of geothermal power and heat projects in Canada. In late 2015, the Canadian government changed ruling parties which ushered in new opportunities for renewable energy. Geothermal energy is poised to take off. Find out how you can participate. Also, many Canadian companies have skills and services that can be transferred into the geothermal industry from mining, oil and gas. Discover new techniques to lower your project costs and increase your reserves.
When? Wednesday, April 27, 2016 10:00 am Where? IGA booth at IGC 2016, Harpa (map), Reykjavik, Iceland This presentation is part of CanGEA's Market Visit to Iceland. You can find an overview of all speakers at the IGA booth here. |
