Geothermal energy is an amazing fit in Alberta, given our history of oil and gas development. Yet the only commercial geothermal projects in this province are a pair of tourist hot springs.
Heat Seeking; Alberta's geothermal industry potential and barriers, is a report from the Pembina Institute with support from the Alberta Clean Technology Industry Alliance. It identifies similarities between geothermal energy and oil and gas development that position Alberta to develop a thriving geothermal industry. It also describes challenges the emerging industry faces and what we need to exploit geothermal energy’s potential.
