In an announcement yesterday, the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association (CanGEA) announces the kick-start of the development of a Canadian Geothermal Power and Direct Use of Heat Technology Roadmap.

CanGEA is now inviting Steering Committee members (co-funders) and Technology Content Contributors to the Roadmap.

The work on this roadmap is to help support the growth of Canada’s geothermal energy industry through strategies agreed by stakeholders from government, industry and the research community. It will help bring together all stakeholders to evaluate and develop the right steps in helping Canada become a competitive player in the globally growing geothermal energy market. At the same time it will help foster development of geothermal energy projects in Canada that could help in applying technologies and know-how of the Canadian natural resources industries, including companies from the oil and gas sector, geothermal energy companies and the larger research community.

Spaces for the information session are limited, so CanGEA advises to register early to secure access to this important event for the Canadian geothermal energy industry.
