CanGEA was interviewed by Alberta Venture

12/7/2015

 
CanGEA’s chair, Alison Thompson, and Borealis GeoPower’s chief geologist Craig Dunn were interviewed by Alberta’s best-read business magazine “Alberta Venture”. In the interview, Alison Thompson explains what it means when she says that Canada is in the top five producers of geothermal energy in the world - without having a single geothermal power plant. The interview is focused on Alberta but gives valuable insight in general  technology transfer possibilites between the oil industry and the geothermal industry.

The National Observer lists geothermal as part of Alberta's renewable energy triple play

12/1/2015

 
According to Hamish Stewart of the National Observer, "decades of investment and government sponsored research into deep oil sands extraction and Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAG-D) enhanced oil recovery systems could be channelled into the development of a world-leading geothermal energy sector. Rather than continuing as an exporter of raw resources linked to unstable global commodity prices, the province could use its geology and technical prowess to become a global exporter of distributed energy systems and advanced geothermal expertise. As corporate leaders in the oil and gas sector transition their business models away from carbon-intensive assets to renewable energy portfolios, geothermal should be considered in their “2 degree transition plans.”"

Alberta’s Climate Leadership Plan, which describes the phase-out of coal-fired power by 2030, is just the beginning of a transition to a more prosperous, healthy and fiscally responsible future beyond fossil fuel extraction.
